My pony got fan-art at Horse Expo!
It has, without a doubt, been a very tragic weekend. Horse and rider deaths make me step back and reflect on the nature of what we do. There is absolutely no question that what we do is both demanding and dangerous. Some would say it is utterly insane – climbing on the back of a prey animal with match stick legs and kicking on, to fly over solid obstacles at speed. I’m a little numb again. The unpleasant side effect of the stark reminder that you could die doing something that you love. More importantly though, I’m more grateful today for the opportunities I have to do what I love.
