Yikes! Glad that was okay.

The sad rule of life with horses is that it's nearly always "the big horse" or "the good horse" or "the promising horse" that gets it

This horse might have a little destiny on his side

As well as the loose horse. A chilling reminder of how quickly things can change. Who is the horse that got loose ?
