Lord Noel At One With Nature!

Whatto!! .................and greetings once again my dear virtual friends!!

You will know by now of my love of Nature and all things 'Natural'..............

Well today I managed to persuade The Lovely Lady Jacqueline to join me in our latest endeavour!!...............

Being .................AT ONE ..........WITH A HORSE!!!!

I must admit - she did seem a trifle NERVOUS beforehand................

Perhaps that was due to the fact that the last time she was on a horse she was 11 years old (yes believe it or not - only ten years ago!) ................

......and she partially fell orf!!

......then was dragged around a concrete yard by one leg................ which was still stuck in the sirrup!! ................

.....but then again ......it was a GERMAN riding school - so perhaps they do things a little differently out there ...........what?!

Today she was led out to her fine filly................

.......which she later claimed was the size of a small house..................

....luckily I have this photo which suggests otherwise!! ........(You can see a small house in the background to compare sizes)

We were then led orf to an indoor arena where we encouraged to ride around in circles......

Very soon the horses were stating to relax......................

...........in fact mine relaxed a little too much................

.......and provided us with another obstacle to manoevour round!

We learnt to trot and steer the beasts across the arena and .................... most importantly.......
............STOP!!

........and we did ALL THAT without falling orf Once!!!

.......I think all that dung on the floor was the encouragement we needed to stay on the horse at all costs!!




Lady Jacqueline certainly did look a picture afterwards...............
....and rather fetching in her riding hat I must say!! Har har!! Wallop!!
........SOMEHOW..................Mine did not have quite the same effect..................


Tallyho!!!!!!............... EVERYONE!!!

Best wishes - Lord Noel & Lady Jacqueline
