I'm so relieved it was just a horse and not the rider.

so everyone there could carry on enjoying the festivities of watching horses do what they love. jumping to their deaths.

well thats what i heard one owner/trainer say....the horses love to jump, i've watched them galloping about in my paddock and jumping over obsticals just for the love of it.

ah hem! but those galloping horses jumping over things just for the love of it didnt have someone sitting on their back making them do it right?

kinda makes a difference doesnt it?

just because i might like to jump over hurdles doesnt mean id wanna do it with someone sitting on my back telling me too.
