Riding in a Thunderstorm!? After riding with Stacey weekly for over two months, we confirmed a ride at 8am. By 1pm, the rains came and we received County texts that Lightning was nearby and we should take cover. We still met at Paleo Hammock to see our favorite horses and reschedule. Stacey's husband was optimistic because we were in a lull between downpours. The Accu-Weather Radar showed LOTS of storm to come. But, even with a Thunder Clap, Stacey demanded we pay and declared the ride was on. We are not stupid, nor faint of heart, but if there is LIGHTNING in Florida, the LAST place you should be is in some open field, ten feet up on a horse. So, we are looking for another stable to ride, and we will tell them upfront, if there is LIGHTNING in the area, we don't ride, and don't pay. Hope that $80 goes a long way for you Stacey, you kissed off three good horse lovers and Great Customers. read more
