Trail riding
In response to trail riding at riding stables, unfortunately, in many recreational rental facilities, people SUE if they get hurt. Therefore, if Riding Stables want to keep a business afloat, they must adhere to many laws, rules, regulations and pay high insurance costs. That is why horse rentals may cost upwards of $30 per 1/2 hr. Each year, Riding Stables are being put out of business because of lawsuits and laws and follow.
I think it is sad because many people now, do not get to experience the feeling of what it is like astride the back of a horse.
Not many wannabe cowboys have ever felt the breeze tickle their face, or the exhileration of sitting on top of a thousand pound animal and being in control. When it comes to galloping, cantering or loping - very few have experienced the rhythm and how it is not difficult to stay astride. Very few have felt the wind at their face or the freedom and power and the exhileration that becomes part of it. Blame lawyers.
