One of the horses mentioned in the whistleblower report was my favorite schoolhorse, Maisey, whom I rode regularly 20-ish years ago when I was training in dressage. I also rode two other horses mentioned, Jack and Abby. Maisey was the last mount I had; my doctors made me quit riding due to back issues and my final time in the saddle was 14 years ago with her. (The anniversary was yesterday)
I have been sobbing real tears over the neglect and overwork that these senior #horses experienced at Golden Gate Park.
