On a sad riding note:
Please send good thoughts to a poor kid who was seriously injured in Queens this weekend-- he was riding along a highway (I see riders there a lot; it's not unsual) and his horse spooked, charged into traffic and attempted to jump a taxicab. The horse died, and the teenager has serious head trauma and a broken leg. He was with a group called the Federation of Black Cowboys and I'm sick to my stomach thinking he might not have had a helmet on (it's the "cowboy" in the name that makes me worry).
So everyone keep winning blues and wearing helmets!

wow, that is too bad...I'll never understand the no helmet thing...(even though I've been guilty of it myself when it's hot)..reminds me of a few years ago around here when two horses got loose from their paddock and went running up the highway ...both were hit by cars and killed while their 16 year old owner watched.
