Fri - Quiet night in saving myself for saturdays shenanagins
Sat - Fun on with 1 horsepower. Saturday was the main day in Dumfries' common riding festival, Guid Nychburris. Started the day off with a champagne breakfast at 7am before jumping on the hired horse a 17hh chestnut mare (big brown lady horse) for the dumfries riding of the marches. Went to the high st in dumfries to meet the other couple of hundred horses on rode the boundries of the town for the next 5 hours. Very civilised as it stops off at a couple of pubs for some refreshments. Non alcoholic of course
and at no point were any hip flaks consumed.Glad i survived the gallops and did not join the 5 people that came off. I did get told off by my mum for taking my hat off during the main gallop and waving it at the crowd. 
, again! Its a bit of a tradition from us ex- cornets Then off the horse and into the pubs for the rest of the day.Sun - Woke up in pain as i had not been on a horse for a year
and off to a mates 30th birthday BBQ. Where i tried to soak up all of the weekends alcohol with burnt food
