Why Horzing Around?

Because that’s what it feels like I’m doing, horzing around.

This space grew out of earlier projects that lost direction or stopped feeling relevant, but the heart behind them never changed.

The truth is, I hardly recognise the sport I once admired above all others. What used to be full of passion and purpose now feels dominated by image, PR, and Olympic ambitions, and far too little soul.

And honestly? The media helped create that. Instead of asking the hard questions, they got too cozy with the system.

Somewhere along the way, we lost the conversation.

So this is my way of taking it back. A place for those of us who still care about the horses, but who’ve grown tired of the self-importance, the politics, and the endless shine.

Here, I hope you’ll find both reflection and humor, like those real, unfiltered chats in the stable when the horses are fed, the coffee’s hot, and the truth comes out.

Which means I welcome and encourage people to become active in the comment section and other places of the site. A place where to embrace the following:

💥 Freedom of opinion without fuss and arguments.

🐎 Ideas and insights before “name dropping” and gossip.

I hope you’ll enjoy and feel just at home.
