WHEN it comes to a suitable horse for Donald Trump, there is no contest. Gene Autry’s stallion Champion the Wonder horse, complete with chesnut coat and blond mane, would be just perfect. Imagine them parading in front of the White House, followed by a mounted choir of 100 cowboys singing Gene’s signature song “Back In The Saddle Again.” Not such an unlikely image given the daily surprises in Washington!

I remember a different image from my childhood of an old hunting print, with a fat city gent in a very new pink coat, galloping out of control past two experienced older men on cobs. Said one knowingly to the other, “Beware! Loose horse, man aboard!” If one looks at the USA election process for the new President, it is probably also accurate to say ‘Beware! Loose horse, Trump aboard!’ In recent times, in several countries, democracy has become quite a wild horse!
