Was just moonlighting on the your horse website and saw an interesting thing they had done about your memories from the past 30 years of being around horses. Brought back loads of funny things that we use to do and don't do anymore!! For instance riding the ponies bare back to the field only in head collars even on the road (shock horror)!! Holding back for a canter ha ha we all ended up on someones front garden once!! Rubber chin cups on your jockey skull, blankets or duvets under rugs folded into the triangle & held on with a surcingle, riding total nutters of 4 years old at the riding school & not thinking twice about it, full & half scissors & round the world, jute rugs, stinking wax jackets, no poo picking, fly spray, supplements blah blah blah, hacking to shows & pony club first thing in the morn with your rucksack & packup come rain or shine, bits of cloth instead of numnahs, baler twine haynets (& draw reins!!!!)...sure theres loads more to think of just made me giggle to think we were all getting up to the same stuff in them days, if you fell off you fell off limited health & safety but boy we all had sooooo much fun & learnt to ride anything & PROPERLY!! Whats yours for a laugh & how many remember all mine?!
