An Incident on this ride... penguingardener December 31 2013, 17:04:15 UTC
J and I saw the worst horseback riding accident ever at this event. A woman thought she knew what she was doing and ignored the guide's instructions. Kept taking her horse out of trail order, then letting it cantor. At the end, the horse broke into a gallop and she made the conscience decision to let go of the reins and fall off the horse rather than stay on. The injuries were terrible. I gave her our ice from our lunchbox for her head. Lots of gashes: temple, cheek, nose, and left leg. Half her face was covered in blood.

Heartbreaking for so many kids to see that. We were in the next group. The other mom in our group sat out on the ride because of that incident. Our ride was uneventful. All 7 of us followed the guide's instructions. It wasn't hard. Just sit there and try to keep your horse from snacking.
