I realized while riding a horse for the first time since a mishap last year that even though I was riding an older horse,
And though I held the reins, I was not in control, he was. Especially since I'm of a... smaller group of people. At any time,
the horse could throw me off anytime he wanted. He probably weighs 7 times more than me, and frankly, could stomp my
head in with ease. IT's strange that even though he could take me down with ease, he still decided to obey me, of course,
My grandpa, who is experienced with horses, was there, as well as my older sister was riding another horse, but to really be
The best you can be with a horse, I believe you've gotta humble yourself a bit and take this thought in mind, it's that the horse
Is Letting you be on it's back that you are able to get on in the first place.

That was pretty much the only thing I thought of when I first rode a horse.

If at any time he wanted to, he could very easily kill me. :blink:

I saw a bit on TV that showed a guy who kayaks down class 4 and 5 rivers. When interviewed he was asked if he was ever afraid and he said something like this: I am afraid but I use the fear as measure of what I need to know what’s going t seriously injure or kill me; I either learn how to navigate or how to avoid it or both when possible. The below definitions are sited from Wikipedia.com.

Class IV:
Very difficult Long rapids; waves high, irregular; dangerous rocks; boiling eddies; best passages difficult to scout; scouting mandatory first time; powerful and precise maneuvering required. Demands expert boatman and excellent boat and good quality equipment.
Class V:
Extremely difficult Exceedingly difficult, long and violent rapids, following each other almost without interruption; riverbed extremely obstructed; big drops; violent current; very steep gradient; close study essential but often difficult. Requires best person, boat, and outfit suited to the situation. All possible precautions must be taken.

Being an old horse whisperer myself, I know what the horse was thinking: "I sure wish I had a WOOD CHIPPER!"
