I have a friend who loves horses, keeps several on her farm, but refuses to ride them. "Why?" I asked her. She is a social worker working with people who have suffered brain injuries. A couple of the people's injuries involved horses. Now she is fearful of riding herself. After reading this and experiencing my own situations, I can understand where she is coming from .... rotary cutters, irons, scissors, pins and needles are all dangerous weapons and some days I shouldn't play with them.
