...part, the East has a different philosophy in teaching horseback riding than the West does. I was taught how to ride in Wyoming by some cowboys who put me on a wild horse with no helmet and sent me off galloping into the sunset with a bunch of equally clueless beginners.

Best of all, there are no commercials...
