14 people dying is 14 people dying no matter how you look at it.
My good friend in Ireland grew up around horses, loved fox hunting. she broke her back a couple years back.
Like I said before, my friend from college was a top show jump rider, she's paralyzed from the waist down.
I know it sounds horribly insensitive, but if it was 14 horse deaths it really wouldn't bother me. But 14 people is a different story for me.
I'm not calling for this sport to end by no means. I just think it would be insanely irresponsible for a parent to let their child get involved in eventing.
