Yesterday, a young equestrian fell of her horse in Denmark and died. She was one of Norway's most inspiring and fair rider who had been a idol for many young girls. I didn't know her personally but when you are in an environment filled with woman, men, boys and girls who share the same interest some names just stick out. Hers did. It was a great loss for everyone who knew her, friends and family especially.
You know as I sit here and pay my respect to the 18 year old who unfortiunatly lost her life due to a miss calculation, it hurts. But what scares me the most is what a wakener it was. Everyday, someone looses their life but still.. this sport,this wonderfull and exciting sport which so many people contribute to you would never think something like this could really happen. But it did. The horse got the fence between he's two front legs and it was done. She fell off and the horse landed ontop of her. She was declared dead on the spot. Let's just pray that she didn't feel any pain.
Now when I look back at my years as an equestrian, things are put more in perspective. These large animals who dose their best to please everyone including them selfs can be dangerous. Still things like these don't happen everyday. Usually you can just get up and walk away, with only your pride a bit bruised along with your rump. Nothing more. Lets not complain when we fall of, lets just be happy that we are still alive and remember the ones who lost their lives.
You will always be remembered.... Rest in peace.....
