[Ag-eq] Do I fight or just find some other way

[Nella Foster]

Jody:

Before Mike and I went on the packing trip one of his friends told him he 
shouldn't take me, that it was to dangerous.  Mike told him that he had seen 
me ride and knew that I could handle my mules.  His friend told him that he 
was crazy that there were to many ledges and drop offs on the trail.  Mike 
response was that Nella can't see them, so she doesn't get nervous!

I don't know if it's because I can't see them or what, but he's right I'm 
not nervous on ledges.  I also really trust Allie; I know she's not stupid 
and doesn't want to fall either!

Mike and I did discuss what I should do if something were to happen to him. 
The trail is pretty popular, so we thought if I waited someone would come 
by.  We also thought that Allie would go back to the trailer, so I could 
ride her back and there would be more people on the road that I could flag 
down.  Fortunately nothing happened, but I felt prepared if it had.
