Like bread and butter, country music and horse riding go hand in hand. Aspen Allen is a young equestrian who grew up listening to country music. While the country music genre has produced numerous stars who have made timeless music, Reba McEntire stands out as one of its rarest gems. The artist released her first album back in 1977 and still boasts a whopping 2.7 million monthly listeners on her Spotify account. Aspen is one of her most die-hard fans. When she suffered a terrible accident while riding her horse, just like any other day, she had to be rushed to the hospital. 

While her injuries were not serious, she still had to be hospitalized for several weeks. While hospitals are centers of healing, they can also be one of the most grim places to be at. One naturally feels chained to the various machines, medicines, and procedures they go through on a daily basis. The rehab phase weighed down on the young equestrian who was used to an active lifestyle. But when she least expected it, her chains were broken by the artist who made “My Chains Are Gone.”
