100+ years of the motor car and you want to go on an 'oss. We will be going out for a PH 'walk' at this rate.

Going on a 'oss is NOT like going for a walk! Just you wait til I see you
There is a heck of a lot more thrill to being on your own, putting your trust into an animal with it's own mind (unlike most cars except tivs ) and just going for a good old belt and trying to stay on board!

I'll prove it...dare's ya

Hmm, Lois has been threatening me with this type of thing for a bit now....

sounds interesting but I'll need a tiny horse (or a step ladder!)

Purple jods optional rather than a requirement I hope?!

Yes purple jods optional...Although stand next to me in them and your derrier will look teeny tiny!

I'm sure they have mounting blocks there or else they'll give you a leg up!

I usually get put on the tiddlers being short myself but last time I got a huge gorgeous 16-17hh chestnut! Here's hoping...then again maybe they just saw my butt coming from a mile off in those purple jods!

ooo...reminds me, need to fix my half-chaps.

I cannot see what relevance horse riding has got on what is a car enthusiasts forum.
There may be a website else where called equestrianheads that may be more suited.
Id stick to runs out, cars shows, cars in the park and the like.
