Quite honestly, I don't need to know anything more about what happened at 
the WS50 because what I already know is this:  You practice, you prepare as 
best you can, you keep your head about you, and you accept the fact that 
there are always going to be risks involved.  Ideally, a person who chooses 
to become involved with any equine sport understands that ultimately, the 
responsibility for the safety of one's own horse lies with the rider - not 
the vet, not the ride management, not other riders on the trail.
