A Reflection On What Might Have Been Avoided

By Andre Hansen

You have an interest in learning how to ride a horse. Your first day of class, you told that you are going to learn how to inspect and maintain a saddle. You just wanted to find out how to ride, why do you need to learn about doing upkeep on a saddle?

You wanted to learn how to ride, why do you need to study doing maintenance on a saddle? You are saddened to learn that you need to learn the rest before you will be taught how to ride. You raise your hand and ask why it is so crucial. Why can't you find out how to ride? You are told that you'll learn the answer to that question the following day. Great, now you have got to wait.

All night you are brooding about why you cannot just ride the horse. To you, it seems that you've got to do insignificant work that you don't need to know anything about. It can't be somebody desiring to be told how to ride, they're in a wheelchair. You are told that there will be a special guest presenter today. This guest will tell them why taking care of hardware is so significant. This makes you even more curious.

Then the coach introduces the person in the wheelchair as crane and he's your guest speaker for the day. Okay, why is a person who is in a wheelchair is chatting to a group of people who are learning how to ride? He tells you about the morning that he decided to go riding with a mate. He had things to do that afternoon and he needed to hurry up and get a ride in before he lost his opportunity.

He remembers meeting with his friend and they decided to take the horses to a stream to get some water. The very next thing he recollects is feeling something break, he started falling and then everything went black.

He woke up in a surgery room to everybody around him crying. He learned that his accident might have been forestalled if he just took a moment to test the parts of western saddle. Now you see why derrick is there. He's living proof you need to be careful; he is the height of what not to do when it comes to horses and gear.
