Being treated like a serf by the minority (but in your face) jumped up overhorsed twats. Preferring to go on a pub ride, a gallop through the woods or a spot of casual bouncing over jumps.

Even the game fair at Harewood is off next weekend and even FMD didn't stop that, I'm told. Even the small matter of world war 2 didn't stop the Ryedale show which is also buggered. I do love to see all those smartly turned out horses and riders with their tight plaits and tight leather, even if I have to take a horse's nosebag full of anti-histimines to attend these events. It's hard to un-volunteer for things, so I'm told, so good luck and here's to a super bank holiday dear.rilly superhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448694078653341955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-60239168967758024222007-07-25T08:40:00.000+01:002007-07-25T08:40:00.000+01:00I haven't been to one of these for yonks.
