I love horses?
June 10th, 2006 at 15:02
JD and Charlie dropped a rather horse-shaped bombshell on me the other day. It turns out that on Sunday morning, I am going horse riding. Seriously. Horse riding.
It’s costing me £18 for a half hour “lesson” in “horse riding”- that’s sixty pence a minute, so I’m hoping that the odds of winning big riding a horse outweigh that of phoning up Deal or No Deal 30 times.
I can’t believe I’m going to ride a horse either.
Scarily, the term “lesson” has been used a lot when describing this. This means that rather than piss about riding a horse, taking various “comedy” photos of myself, I’ll actually have to learn about horses. I’ve been told I’ll have to take it “seriously”, so they’ll be no cowboy hats or making jokes about the undoubtably posh instructor.
The worst thing is, apparently JD and Charlie have done it before, with JD specifically telling the person when booking that I’d never ridden a horse before. I imagine this will mean whilst I’m being lead around on a string (to demonstrate what it’s like being a horse), they’ll be literally galloping away jousting or whatever. I blame my working class parents who never had the decency to take me on even just one fox hunt.
I “can’t wait”! Tune in tomorrow for the full story (and photos)
