Media!
Before reaching the vet’s office, Jessy found herself intercepted by the media. Bewildered, she pondered how they had been alerted to the situation and what information they possessed. Bombarded with inquiries, they repeatedly referred to her horse by its name, ‘Africa,’ leaving Jessy astonished by their knowledge of such specific details. The unexpected attention overwhelmed her; initially, she had only anticipated assistance from the local community, never imagining such a spectacle.
Unaccustomed to being thrust into the limelight, Jessy found herself at the center of the media frenzy once they identified her as the horse’s owner. Perplexed by the sudden scrutiny, she couldn’t fathom the reasons behind the media’s intense interest in her horse. Their presence, cameras flashing and reporters clamoring for information, was the last thing Jessy had anticipated when she began her day. Her plans had been simple: work, followed by a visit to the stables to see Africa. The unfolding search and rescue operation, coupled with the media circus, was a stark departure from her expectations.
