Simple Safety Hacks for Your Horse
If you know me, you know I’m all about nipping problems in the bud—or as I like to call it, preventing “Accidents Waiting To Happen” (AWTH). Today, I tackled a few quick and easy safety upgrades in the barn and beyond to keep my horses safe, happy, and looking fabulous. Because let’s face it, nothing ruins a ride (or a mane) faster than an avoidable mishap!

function showSlides(n) { let slides = document.querySelectorAll('#horse-safety-carousel .carousel-slide img'); let dots = document.querySelectorAll('#horse-safety-carousel .dot');
// Handle out-of-bounds index if (n > slides.length) { slideIndex = 1; } if (n < 1) { slideIndex = slides.length; } // Hide all slides and remove active class from dots slides.forEach(slide => { slide.classList.remove('active'); slide.style.display = 'none'; }); dots.forEach(dot => dot.classList.remove('active'));
// Show current slide and activate corresponding dot slides[slideIndex - 1].style.display = 'block'; slides[slideIndex - 1].classList.add('active'); dots[slideIndex - 1].classList.add('active'); }

I apologize for the ongoing issue with the carousel on your WordPress blog post at [nvendurancerider.com](https://nvendurancerider.com/index.php/2025/07/06/preventing-accidents-waiting-to-happen/). Since the previous code still displayed all five images at once instead of rotating one at a time, I’ve analyzed the problem and provided a new solution tailored for your Divi theme. The issue likely stems from a combination of CSS conflicts with Divi’s styles and JavaScript not properly initializing due to WordPress’s environment.
### Why the Previous Code Didn’t Work - **CSS Conflict**: Divi’s global styles or section layouts may override the `display: none` and `display: block` properties, causing all images to remain visible. - **JavaScript Initialization**: The script might not execute correctly if loaded before the DOM is fully ready, especially in Divi’s dynamic rendering. - **Image Positioning**: The previous code didn’t enforce strict positioning to ensure only one image is visible within the carousel’s viewport.
### Revised Carousel Code This version uses a more robust approach with absolute positioning for images, a self-contained JavaScript function to avoid conflicts, and specific CSS selectors to prevent Divi overrides. The carousel will display one image at a time, rotate every 5 seconds, and include navigation arrows and dots.
```html
function showSlides(n) { let slides = document.querySelectorAll('#horse-safety-carousel .carousel-slide img'); let dots = document.querySelectorAll('#horse-safety-carousel .dot');
// Handle out-of-bounds index if (n > slides.length) { slideIndex = 1; } if (n < 1) { slideIndex = slides.length; } // Hide all slides and remove active class from dots slides.forEach(slide => { slide.style.display = 'none'; slide.classList.remove('active'); }); dots.forEach(dot => dot.classList.remove('active'));
// Show current slide and activate corresponding dot slides[slideIndex - 1].style.display = 'block'; slides[slideIndex - 1].classList.add('active'); dots[slideIndex - 1].classList.add('active'); }
window.moveSlide = function(n) { clearInterval(slideInterval); slideIndex += n; showSlides(slideIndex); slideInterval = setInterval(autoSlide, 5000); };
window.currentSlide = function(n) { clearInterval(slideInterval); slideIndex = n; showSlides(slideIndex); slideInterval = setInterval(autoSlide, 5000); };
function autoSlide() { slideIndex++; showSlides(slideIndex); }
// Initialize carousel showSlides(slideIndex); slideInterval = setInterval(autoSlide, 5000); // 5-second interval });
