Elf On A Shelf
...
Ok ok ok! I know! I'm sad! But I thought I'd flick on to see Frankie go in. They showed a clip of him riding a normal horse in a normal saddle and I'm sorry - I really laughed!!! Could they not have showed footage of him on the gallops or racing?!? He really can't ride a normal horse! Well no, he can't ride leg long instead of having his irons attached to the stirrup bars! Lol! He was drastic!
I still have every respect for him because you put him in a tiny saddle, whack the irons up, give him half a tonne of fiesty firey tb and he is quite simply magic! I really wish I hadn't watched that clip of him in the school now!
Plus channel 5 got it a bit wrong - they said that he has had many hurdles to overcome this year - would have been a bad pun if he was a jumps jockey but alas no! The one and only time Dettori rode in a Flat vs Jumps jockey hurdle race he pulled up after the 2nd hurdle because he was perified lol!
I may tune back in from time to time to see how he gets on but there's one thing for sure - the house will always have a damned well cooked dinner if they let him loose in the kitchen!
