Well, this is where we disagree, I was NOT TRYING TO be judgmental, I was trying to HELP... I am sorry you feel I was being judgemental... she is talking about a path that is not very far as being the only difficult part for her horse... I don't understand putting shoes on for that amount of riding... I was trying to be encouraging, not judgemental... I was trying to be helpful...
