I would also quite like to be ten or twenty years younger on this perfect day

We set off alright but then, shock and horror, the old Mary broke out from a leisurely trot into a gallop
Needless to say, I hung on for dear life thinking ok girl steady on. But then up ahead, I saw a log in front of the path. Now, it wasn’t a huge log but still, it was a LOG
I thought well here goes, I always wanted to do showjumping so now is my chance. And, without missing a beat, the old Mary launched into the air whilst I just shut my eyes and the next thing I heard was a thud has she landed on the other side of the log with me barely holding onto her. She proceeded to gallop all the way home.
But, I wasn’t the highlight of that particular ride, since the rider in front of me had an even better tale to tell . She had a stallion and had the time of her life since the saddle came undone! Good heavens, that rider was riding on the side of said stallion. Dangerous as it was, I’ve never laughed so hard in my life
Guess that old Mary was the better horse after all
I just love having these adventures. Life would be boring without them
