and one other thing

i was wrong about. today, she had a wee whilst mounted. Waited till we were in the farthest corner of the 20 acre, sheltered from the wind by the trees, i'd been asking her to stop anyway so Emily could catch up, so she took advantage of the opportunity.

Thinking about it, it's a very long time since a horse has done that whilst I've been riding .... queenie always used to hang on, and I seem to recall Billy did as well (he was a long time ago ....)
