They say that one of the reins broke and that was what caused the horse to bolt. What a freak thing to happen. I was looking forward to seeing him run on Saturday. Pete Eurton is such a nice guy. I feel terrible for him and the rest of the connections.

It was the left rein that broke, which caused the horse to veer right, into the fence.

Todd and Simon interviewed Britney Eurton yesterday. It was tough to watch.

I know Simon was only trying to comfort her but he said "you find another one" or something to that effect.

If only it were that easy.

It is terrible to hear about the exercise rider. I wish him well in his recovery.
