A couple of months ago I booked to 'Go Ape' with David at Moors Valley and so off we went this morning. It's an interesting test of trust in equipment and of yourself. I found it really hard to launch myself off the first platform and into the cargo net with a massage drop beneath me. We ask horses to trust us so often and we then need to keep our promise to keep them safe. Is it a lack of imagination as to the consequences of things going wrong, stupidity or trust that means they are prepared to put themselves at risk in situations that make no sense to them as a prey animal? I got round all in one piece!
