LAST Friday I did what I thought I’d never do again. I got back up on a horse.

I didn’t do it for the enjoyment of just walking around on horseback because, let’s face it, that’s not the most exhilarating thing in the world. I did it out of pure ignorance, so I could prove to myself I could. And I did. Surprisingly it was a lot more enjoyable than I thought it would be.
