WEG Central is a new clearing house site we put together to disseminate all the Alltech FEI 2010 World Equestrian Games information I receive every day from press releases and other sources.  As a member of the press, I am privileged  to acquire information rather more quickly than the general equine enthusiast. Therefore, I'm going to pass the info along just as soon as I receive it.  So check out the new site and keep up with what's new and exciting as we head towards WEG 2010!

Defensive Trail Riding -- Something I'd never thought about...

Recently, I ran across a little video clip. It deals with personal self-defense while trail riding.  I'd honestly never thought about this issue before -- at least not while mounted on a horse.  I guess I'd  always just assumed that up there, mounted on my mighty steed, I was kind of invincible. Or perhaps, subconsciously, I thought old Pinger would protect me from the bad guys.  But, in truth, it never crossed my mind that someone would want to drag me, or anyone else, off a horse  while out trail riding in the boonies somewhere.  But we live in a tumultuous world.  That being said, I watched this informative video clip and it opened my eyes a bit. Now, rather than hit someone with my water bottle, I can use the old Pool Boy as a weapon!  I just have to remind him that he can still probably turn on his forehand.
