Even before I pulled into the gates of the Kentucky Horse Park two weeks ago, I knew I would eventually need to write this blog for all of you. Whether it would end up being a tale of victory, misery, or something in between, I could not know.
Editor’s note: We had scheduled this blog to run on Monday, May 16, but in light of the tragedies at the Jersey Fresh International, we held it for a few days.
“Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole, and once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Like most of you, I find myself seized by this grand passion that is a life with horses. If you challenged me at the dinner table to speak of anything but horses, I might be silent for a long time.
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” -Mahatma Gandhi
