When your life revolves around something that is, suddenly, pulled out out from underneath you, it feels … well … fill in the blank with your own emotions here. But listen, my eventing family: this, too, shall pass.
Take some time. Take a breath. Take stock of your life and loved ones. We’ll come out the other side, and stronger.
