Patty,

Do you have a video link you might share?

Eventing is very intense. I have a retired eventer who went bridle lame, plus
deducing from his carriage 'issues' and scars had some bad falls ... broke
down, then dumped at a rescue. He's coming around. 

As I said earlier, I wouldn't let anyone near my horse that who didn't dismount
at the first misstep. To me, there's just no excuse.
