Except that there was a video on the 'net recently of a horse tolting on ice at some demo and the horse DID go down...and the crowd laughed. I think it was on that Icelandic online TV station that has videos. I'm pretty sure I sent a link to it when I found it a few months ago. But, you're right...there are both short-term and long-term risks... for NO benefits other than cheap thrills. Karen Thomas, NC
