What seems like a great thrill for some really puts others in danger. NIght
riding on horseback in the mountains is not fun at all. My ourfitter friend
would rather take a "bar whipping" as he told me than ride out of them
mountains at night. Just too many things can go wrong.
Why put a young wrangler's life in jeaprody? I just don't see the logic
here.
