What is the importance of horse diving in the novel, When Two Feathers Fell From the Sky?

Two's horse diving career symbolizes courage. Though Two is often homesick, she knows that she craves and requires independence and autonomy. Her horse diving vocation grants her this lifestyle. It also illustrates how brave and resilient Two really is. When Two loses her ability to continue performing, however, her self-confidence temporarily falters. She therefore must learn how to find bravery outside the sport and from within herself.
