There is something...

Sitting behind two pricked ears & a long mane, gazing across the Severn to Wales on a misty spring morning makes all that early mucking out worthwhile.

As Winston Churchill once said:

'No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.'
and
'There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.'

(And a woman too of course!)
