Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities...because it is the quality which guarantees all others. ----- Winston Churchill
Pictured below is an extraordinary 14 year-old girl and her reining horse, Wrench.
Reining is a western horse competition that poses a severe test to both horse and rider. It is, I believe, the most exciting western event. All the work is done at the lope or gallop. It involves circles, flying lead changes, backups, spins, and sliding stops.
All aboard a 1500 pound horse. Wrench is a great horse and his rider is a great girl.
This is one example of what courage looks like.
Yes, I'm proud of that girl too.
