Too hard to describe in 100 words or less! I dare you to try!

I just had to try to explain to opposing counsels lawyer what Parelli is, why it is important to me, and just what the implication is, that I lost my mo-jo.  So this car accident has robbed me of my dreams.....no surprise to anyone as I complain about it all the time.  But how to explain to the lawyer...who by the way was grilling me like Tom Cruise in "A Few Good Men"

She wanted to know what the big deal was that I can barely ride my horses, and will never be able to start a horse undersaddle again.  She asked if I can't complete Parelli levels, why would I keep doing it?  To all of you......it's a DUH! kinda answer that needs NO explaination.  But when you are under oath and having EVERY sound that comes out of your mouth legally recorded.....and.....um.....I was very emotional at the time, tears and alot of tissue, and I blurted (my only blurt of the whole 3 hrs session BTW) "Why does one pet thier dog?"  Non horse people just don't understand.  They don't get it.  I don't think anyone can ever describe to perfection the bond between a girl and her horse.  It transends words.  Beyond explaination.  Our husbands, and parents and kids don't get it.....how is the lawyer suppose to get it.

She told me not get defensive or something like that, and she needed to ask to understand why?  In my mind, all I could think of was "if I don't have horses I will go stark raving mad.  And without Parelli what is the point" 

I have no Idea at this point what I ended up saying, I answered at least 3000 questions, and was instructed to be brief.   BRIEF.....what the heck is THAT?  They may as well have asked me to answer in French!   THAT would have been easier.  I don't know how, but I said the words "yes" "no" and "correct" more in 3hrs than I have in the last year. 

I could have gone on for an hour about how this accident has stripped me of skills, timing, bond and sanity.  How it has created fear and doubt where it never existed before.  Risk.....can't live on that fine line anymore.  But I wasn't allowed.  Brief...be brief.  I think I even confused myself by the time I was done! 

Then she wanted to know why, if I have been doing Parelli for @9yrs, and I earlier stated under oath, that it should take 4-10yrs to complete the levels, depending on the aptitude of both the horse and rider, why had I not done so yet.  I felt so depressed instantly and cried like a fool.......thanks for bringing THAT up !@#$%^&*(.  Well let's see....horse changes, program changes,  and TWO HEAD ON COLLISIONS have set me back a bit.  But for the record, I was almost done when your client wrecklessly turned infront of me!

I was about to tell her to call Pat or Linda themselves......maybe they could explain it.

Enough for now, I am crying so hard, I can't even type anymore!
