Um…my post was not in the least a response to yours, and I didn’t take your post to mean anything more than what you said–and I agree with you.

My post was simply added because I saw those two articles this morning and wanted to share what I found noteworthy, and quoting the freakish nature of the injury was just me sharing how stunned I am (and the horse racing world is) that it happened.

This has been a rough week in the horse sports–two three-day-eventers were killed in accidents at the Rolex championships. Yeesh.

Sorry, **Ruffian**.
