Am I right in thinking that a horse novice shouldn't be thinking about renting horses for a hunt up country? Sure, I rode some very gentle quarter horses that belonged to my older cousin when I was a kid, but I'm guessing this doesn't qualify me for feeding, watering, currying, sadling, unsadling, hobbling, packing, unpacking horses in the back country and keeping the horses from freaking out and running away due to some surprising event such as a thunderstorm or encounter with hikers.
