Wow. That makes it sound like an eternity!
Okay, I really am trying to be reasonable. One time I did let Hannah ride up to our convenience store which is about a mile from our front door, but that was really the farthest stretch of my leniency. Anyway, that's a straight shot from the end of our road...no turns, and no back woods....
The stables would require riding another mile past that convenience store, turning left onto a [mostly] unpopulated road, and riding another 1/2 mile to the stables completely out of eyeshot of anyone (let alone ME).
I'm 99.99999999999999999% sure that my answer will still be NO at the end of the day.
I did think about riding along with her. That might be a good compromise.
