I took riding lessons many years ago and enjoyed it. UNTIL . . . . A group of us were out trail riding one day. I was the last in line. It was quite a dense trail with lots of foliage on either side and many twists and turns. Suddenly, my horse took off at enormous speed. I couldn't stop him and did all the WRONG things that I'd been taught NOT to do, in an endeavour to stay onboard - stood up in the stirrups to try to stop the violently jarring bumping in the saddle and pulled vigorously on the reins. When he caught-up with the other horses, he stopped in his own good time, not because of anything I had tried to do to stop him. The owner of the horses explained that he had panicked when he lost sight of the horses in front. All I could think was - Thank god I didn't hit a low-hanging branch at the speed I was traveling. I continued for the remainder of the trail ride that day but decided against any further horse riding after that.  ::)

ouch...yeah that would put a person off it. That is the problem with those places that have the day after day trail rides...the horses are trained to follow the horse in front of them and never get ridden seperately...ruins them (IMO)
