Actually, though I'm sorry you got in a horse wreck... I'm sort of relieved. You've truly been a source of great guidance here at ETS when I've had (among other questions) Horse-ish questions. I'm at around a 20% "dumped and left" rate on back country horse trips. So it's good to know it happens to expert horsemen too. Glad you're doing o.k., and hope the wing heals promptly.

By the way, my Canadian Rockies trip is coming up in two weeks. My wife says your last piece of advice missed one item. A gun. She says we need a gun on the trip! She says if I spoil another vacation because of a horse-related injury she'going to shoot me on the spot and leave me for the critters to eat. Chris... can she get a firearm in Canada??
