Thanks for that Pixie, you’ve just reminded me of an old Johnny Horton song … I’ve just played it for the third time. :wink:

I have ridden quite a few horses, my friends was the last one I rode, it was a huge horse,I hadn’t a clue what I was doing, and shouldn’t have ridden it in the first place, but you know what some of us are like when we’re young…

I have ridden a bike quite a lot.

I prefer driving my car, I do walk a lot as well also catch the bus.

What type of riding was this Muddy?

It looks like you were in a competition ?

Pauline this lovely horse was an Argentine Paso from the mountains of Salta ( the Andes )
It is in traditional tack of the region .They have a very smooth running gait which is super comfortable .

That’s so funny Art because I mentioned a flying carpet to hospital staff after a family medical emergency last night. They were talking about us going to another hospital about six miles away for more tests and I said how should I get there by flying carpet?! A cycle would certainly not be much use in such a situation (although if you talk to cycling fanatics they will suggest a cargo cycle!). Horse and cart? Weren’t they “boneshakers”?

Of course the elderly with mobility issues will always prefer a car no matter how many “adapted” cycles are presented as alternatives.

Were flying carpets available I’d expect they too would require licence plates and insurance.

Muddy, Your pic is delightful… With photos like this, where you look so beautiful on a fine horse, is it any wonder that you were snapped up by a dashing, handsome Polo Player.

Tiffany, A wonderful pic.
I admire you, as l am a bit scared of horses in case they kick me… probably watched too many Westerns years ago!
I am scared of heights too… l would need a cherry picker to get me up on that horse!

Horse in the nice weather, car in the bad. Getting older and don’t like being cold and wet. But I still do both.
