I guess I "do" have some neighbors like that; I try to be my friendliest with them, it drives them crazy!  wallbash.gif

Looks like a quick chorus of 'oh happy day' might be appropriate here. Good to see that smile smile.gif

By the way, where on earth did the name Beeble come from?

As for the NHS, guess they're covering themselves - 'we told you not to ride, so we're not to blame ... for anything... so you can't sue us' rolleyes.gif

And on a linguistic note - just love the way rearranged hyphenated. Had to read that twice laugh.gif

Never good to ride when you are angry. Go for a walk instead.

Icelandic horses do very well in the harsh Shetland environment.

Great post, as always, Frances.

In yesterdays post, who is the horse in the first picture? He (She?) is gorgeous!

She was a mare I borrowed last summer.  I can't mind her name but she was nice.

In an earlier blog entry, Frances, you mentioned the quote about golf being a good walk spoiled. Found an entry on a site called Quote Investigator, which says it is often attributed to Mark Twain, but they can find no evidence to support that. However, if you have nothing better to do - Hah! I hear you say smile.gif - there's a good page read there.

Looks like a site well worth bookmarking.

I think I found that page when I was trying to attribute the quote. Agreed, interesting page.  I always thought it was WC who said it but then found it was perhaps Mark Twain and then that page. So, that is why I think I said someone once said.....Interesting read though. I love stuff like that!
