Scottish Elises

Autumn seems this year to have taken a strange turn for me. I'm now learning to look after a pony and her daughter and enjoying it . TBO Its all been for my granddaughter but I'm amazed how they have hooked up with me..

I tease all at the stables that a bike /car is better and in return they tease me about trying to get me on a horse , however I'm kinda getting what its about . Which worrys me However horses are bonkers , eat one end, sh*t the other and if your unlucky to between both it might kick you for fun...

I now have an amazing bond with a little six month pony called Red who follows me everywhere . Its amazing to think it might be alive at 30 years old or when I'm 87

Its brilliant to watch Ava now involved in looking after and riding her pony thanks to all at her stables

I was a jockey before I joined the Royal Marines.

Best ever result was runner up to Shergar in the '61 Derby.

Zebra tastes nice.

Noops.... where are the horses stabled?

I was lynor ( one of the 4 right hand men) and then cornet at the common ridings in Dumfries. It's basically a giant party that goes on for about a month.

I was asked 4 weeks before it all started and only joined up for the partying.... And because my mum said I would never learn to ride a horse in 3 1/2 weeks. I had never been on a horse before or showed any interest in horses.

It was a really good laugh and I really enjoyed the horse riding side of things. A gallop through a forest or even out in the open with a couple of hundred horses is a real buzz.

As long as you are not scared of falling off, you will pick it up in no time as you should have good balance from biking.

Give it a shot.

I would love to try horse riding but am allergic to horses
