All sports have different things that make them difficult. That being said, most sports don't have "equipment" with a brain of their own... Horses are amazing animals but like us, they all have their quirks.
Me Too
You see "Me too" on your Facebook and you think, "Stop making yourself a victim." You think, "Stop living in the past." You think, "You're exaggerating the problem, exaggerating the pain." And if you don't understand, you may think those are fair things to say. Honestly, that means you are lucky because that means that you've never felt the need to cover every inch of your body for fear of what will be said about skin showing. You've never walked down the street in fear you'll run into that one person you know always makes you feel uncomfortable because while you've stated you’re not interested they continue to make sexual advances. If you're against the "Me too" trend, as some are calling it, you've never sat in a room so self-conscious of your body you have no idea what anyone else is saying.

I'm sorry I'm a man. I do know that as far back as I can remember I've been this way. I was born this way. Please queue the Lady Gaga music, thank you.

Tilikum was a very well-known captive orca, he really lived up to his killer whale title in his lifetime in captivity. He was born in 1981, and when he was just two years old, he was captured in Iceland. A year later he was moved to a Sealand park in British Columbia. Tilikum died in early 2017, aged just 36 which is under half a killer whale's typical lifespan in the wild. However, this is pretty normal for captive whales as the average age of death for orcas at SeaWorld is just 13.

In a lot of horses' lives, one of the primary stressors is that their confidence no longer comes from within them. Their natural rhythms have been disrupted. They have to have permission to do everything.

Chapter One The North Pole is the coldest place in the world. So cold that only Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and his merry toy making elves can live there.

When I was 15 years old I was raped. I was forced into non-consensual sex with a boy I knew, who I had a crush on for quite a while. He wasn’t a stranger, he wasn’t older than me, and he wasn’t so violent that I was physically hurt. But he raped me nonetheless. So how come neither the nurses in the hospital or my closest friends believed me?
