FIGURES OF EIGHT
Twelve years on from my first ever riding lesson, these posts are still wandering round and round, a figure of eight starting with today, probably, and yesterday, definitely. It’s the antithesis of how I usually do things, but… that’s horses for ya.

My coach told me that All Kind Elephants Have Cuddly Mothers Brothers Fathers. I like that one, & it’s good for kids & those of us with fuzzy brains. We both wondered about the Sisters though – would their presence make an Elephant less Kind? And aren’t there lots of other letters in between?
