Everything turned out fine except that our favorite horse had a heart attack while my son was on his back, luckily he jumped off before the horse fell over dead. They were pretty traumatized about that and just took the saddles off all the horses and left them and walked off the mountain.
Two months ago i walked up s mountain at 9000 feet to view pictographs with my 14 year old off US 50
