Q and A with Robert Adams aka blindhorsedancer
Horseman Robert Adams is somebody special who has an especial love for horses and whom I am so pleased to have met. Effectively blinded at a very early age as a result of a non equine related accident Robert has made horses a central part of his life ever since. His attitude to life 'I do not want to tiptoe through life only to arrive at my death safely - scars tell more about you than tattoos' Here Robert aka Blindhorsedancer explains a little more of his fascinating story and his love for horses....Hats off to you Robert!
