The host (a friend of our friend) was nice and very helpful. She just had two different type of riders to accommodate, and stayed primarily with the ones that needed the most guidance. I can't even imagine having permission to ride those special trails...if we did, we would trailer across that main four lane highway.

I base wearing mine on where I am riding, and the status of my connection with Koda. I would have worn mine had I known I was crossing a major highway. Not that a helmet is going to do much if you get flattened by a semi.

A bit wiser even. :) When a fall happens that fast, it's usually because the horse slipped on a snotty-slick rock underwater. He's shod right?? Most likely nothing you could have done differently, and nothing Koda could have done differently either.

Hind sight is 20-20, I'm sure you have played it out many times in your mind. Glad both you and Koda don't have major injuries. <br />I rarely trail ride without a helmet, especially if I am going with strangers; you never know how well behaved their horses are, and it only takes one to spook to set off a chain reaction. <brShirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-689872777639220238.post-65364595851028917412017-08-04T11:07:24.138-05:002017-08-04T11:07:24.138-05:00Definitely DO NOT beat yourself up over it.

Those who don't venture out of a small area sometimes, and I do stress sometimes, get hurt less--but it has nothing to do with skill level. I'm so glad you could walk away and didn't hurt your head.

It's good that Koda wasn't hurt too badly and he wasn't lame. I hope once you got him back home he was okay. He sounds like a real trooper and so do you. I'm not a big fan of road riding and definitely not of crossing four lane highways. It does sound like a pretty place to ride though. I'm also not a fan of others being Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.com
