Chase me Charlie

[kathantoinette]

I’m just prepping for an annual charity show that I organise which includes a Chase me Charlie class in the jumping ring. It got me thinking…where did the name of this class come from? Google doesn’t shed any information!

Is it hunt related? Charlie…the fox?

Interested to hear your thoughts!

It's a song, originally from the music hall era I think. There are several versions.

"Angeline for years had been
Upon the shelf, you know;
Though she's forty - rather shady,
Angeline's a perfect lady.
Leap years come and go, yet she's
Not tasted married sweets,
And this is what she says to ev'ry single chap she meets -
Chorus: 'Chase me, Charlie, Charlie, chase me; chase me, Charlie, do!
I've got ninepence in the bank - and it's all for you;
I'm as fresh as a two-year old - don't leave me in the lurch;
Oh, Charlie chase me, Charlie - chase me off to church!"

Please have this playing as background music during the class

Used to love that class back in the day. Had a 14.2 who’d just keep on going higher provided the other horse went first. Was an art when it got down to the last two to circle away for the other to go before us. As the saying went it was our diesel money class . Never thought about the name.
