While horses are considered an extreme sport so are bicycles, surf boards and motorcycles. I've no doubt the mare was carefully picked for her docility. If you are of pioneer stock (or not) endless generations of your ancestors worked with horses. And some of the women were pregnant at the time, so were some of the horses!

Considering that manufacturing is on a downward trend and a lot of people will likely never have the lifestyle of their parents, learning how to care for livestock and garden are very useful skills to have. Less squawk about how those young women were 'endangered'. Learning such ancient skills to take care of themselves is worth the risk and quite a confidence builder. Try it yourself, you might like it! I can't wait to get my grant and start building my boarding stable!
