Equestrianism: A Life Worth Risking Everything

I finished this video up today (only had a small amount left to do) for my 900+ subscribers that have done their job in supporting the creation of these works. You're all fabulous (and rarely sticky)! This one's been in the works for quiet some time now, balancing between getting other things done (riding, showing, other projects, etc.), and lacking motivation to finish anyway. v.v BUT, the MEP's success renewed my grit!!! YAY FOR CAPTIVE AUDIENCES!! ^O^

Like I said, I've been working on this one for a while now, trying to not overwhelm the video with text and balance between the music and the clippage. Some parts I failed miserably, and there are two lines who Vegas refused to make longer (totally wasted effort trying to fix that XD). So yes I know that "the decision" and "corners us" lines are messed up, but I'll provide a version of the poem here too. ^^

I've always wanted to use this song in a video!!! The movie is probably my favorite of the Disney animated, and I really haven't found another song that matches this one in resolution and emotion, SOOOOOO this vidlet was born! =D *is a happy creator* n___n The original poem was a lot longer than what you see here due to shortness and stuff, but I'll post the original on SpottedEquine.weebly.com if you're interested in the whole thing. ;) I wanted to describe all of the emotions we feel when aboard our partners, that the world never really SEES us for who we are and what we do, and I wanted to enstill a sense of pride in what we do into everyone on here who rides and has stared the challenges straight in the eye as I have. We never really appreciate what we have until it's gone, so if you're as ambitious as I am about getting into a career in equestrianism, then HEAVE HO, let nothing stand in your way! x]

The words:

What is this?
This fleeting moment.
In it, our senses come alive.
The heart,
It bleeds,
But for what?
The world skips us,
Leaving holes in this,
This sacred art,
Equestrianism.
This decision,
It presses us,*
Our souls cornered,*
The life we choose,
A thousand pains,
A thousand passions.
In this fleeting moment,
The decision,
It calls, it beckons,
Victory,
Defeat,
the voice of reason.
It refines us,
Makes us whole,
What is this?
It's resolution, and we live by it.
With it,
the equestrian leads,
A Life Worth Risking Everything.

  • Know what really bothers me? When people don't get why I talk on and on daily about my horse. They don't understand the addiction. Why I try to make my friends come and ride with me. I want them to understand the connection you can have with a thousand pound animal, the trust you can have.

  • holy, I wish I could write poetry like that! so inspirational!

see all
