Have you ever driven faster than the posted
speed limit with children in the car?
Have your children ever fallen down and
hurt themselves because you were looking the other way?
Have you ever “lost” your
child in a mall because you turned your back for 5 seconds to look at that
fancy dress?
Have you ever cut someone off on the road
because you were changing a CD or the radio?
Have you ever stepped on your dog’s
toes because he was under your feet and you weren’t paying attention?
I could go on but I think you get the
point. If you can look in the mirror an honestly say you have never made a
mistake you must be an angel. I can’t! I have a friend who lost her
husband because of a split second decision she had to make on the freeway…did
she want to hit the car in front of her that had stopped in the middle of the
freeway or change lanes. Well, she missed the car but overturned her car.
We all make mistakes. I think Amy Tryon
has admitted to hers and has to live with the consequences the rest of her life…I
hope you never have to live with the death a anyone or any animal because you
weren’t paying attention for 10 seconds.
That’s my 2 cents and not “slamming”
you just asking.

Okay, my feathers are ruffled on this one. This topic has gotten
me irritated! Not the topic itself per se, but all the defenders of this
irresponsible horsemanship.
I saw the video. The camera does not lie! I totally agree with Truman.
Someone at this level knows better, in this situation, a novice would know better! Shame on this
behavior, at the world level, endurance or whatever. I felt sick watching this
beautiful creature with a huge heart continue on in pain just to please his
"master" (she does urge him on). The only thing that eases my mind at
this point is, that this gorgeous pony will never have to have that
incompetent person ride him again as he has crossed over the rainbow bridge! I
am embarrassed to be in the same "equestrienne" catagory as this
rider.
If you dont agree, I am sure you will slam me, either on here or
privately, but rest assured.... Thank God it wasnt my horse.
