Well, boys, I'm working in the ER tonight and just finished putting a nice 53 year old lady into a helicopter for a fast trip to Denver. She was riding a safe dude ranch horse. As near as people can tell, she pulled open the velcro fastener on a water bottle holder and the horse freaked out and bucked her off pretty hard. Looks like bleeding in the abdomen, emergency surgery, etc. Damn. Real nice lady, nice people from the ranch, and so on. Damn.
Wow...
Who is the one who said it was a safe dude ranch horse?
It appears you are letting the accidents and uneducated horsey people sway your opinion on horses.
