Mounted search and rescue

["Patty Montoya" <riverrider@bak.rr.com>]

Thanks for the input from each of you.  You have more or less convinced me 
that I had better bite the bullet and hobble my horse.  I was told when I 
purchased this horse that she does hobble, but I've never liked to hobble so 
I haven't practiced with her yet.  She ground ties pretty well unless there 
is a sudden "boogie man", and she stays close to the group.  But what really 
convinced me were the simple words that you have to comply if you want to 
join and "support" the group.
Well, now you know what I'll be doing this weekend.  Unless we go to the 
beach to go camping and riding. =-)
