On a scale of 1-10, how dangerous do you think it is to try to ride all my horses today while simultaneously streaming the Rolex live-feed on my phone? I mean, as long as I’m not jumping, it should be ok right? Doing trot sets and walking up the mountain one-handed seems like a fair price to pay to watch Rolex like a nerd. I just hope my horses are looking where they are going…!
