If we try to hard to protect our kids from risk we actually hurt htem by limiting their experiences.

Many years ago a 16 year old niece of mine was visiting for the summer and about to go to church camp when a 16 year old relative of hers was killed in a tragic car accident. My SIL was so distraught she made her daughter come home and not go to camp because the camp had riding horses and a swimming pool and she was afraid her daughter would get hurt. As fate would have it right after arriving home my niece was the passenger in a car involved in an accident and broke her back. She would have been much safer riding those horses and swimming at camp!
Good thoughts on risk management. Fear is the enemy progress and reward. Fear is overcome with risk management.

Re: Another Phillips' Household Disagreement Poll

I say let her race. I did some of that before I married and I had almost no riding experience. I helped train the horse for a friend. Yes, she could get hurt. The horse could fall and pen her under it.

But I was hurt worse riding in a car.

Life has risk. I don't think this one is unreasonable, and I'm a pretty cautious person.

Re: Another Phillips' Household Disagreement Poll

I had a LOT of friends when I was young that had horses and barrel raced. This was when I was in elementary school. :-) I do not ever remember anyone getting hurt.

Of course, as it has been said, she can get hurt there and she can also get hurt in the car on the way there. I think what you two feel is God's will for her is what is important. If you feel confident in His will, then the outcome matters not.

Re: Another Phillips' Household Disagreement Poll

Listen to your hubby. This one will take more than a coconut pie. Try homemade Stroganoff with real cream and white wine.

Just be sure and obey or you may find yourself over the barrel!

Re: Another Phillips' Household Disagreement Poll

I'm with Tina. Racing, I would agree to. Bullriding would be a whole different ballgame!

Re: Another Phillips' Household Disagreement Poll

I do not know much about barrel racing, but as long as you take precautions, provide lessons, and provide her with the necessary safety equipment I say let her follow her dream. It is a good confidence builder and experience for her.
