Don,
I'm no cowboy. My daughter was the rider, I was the truck driver, stable
builder, rider's assistant, stable boy, vet's assistant, and official
worrier. None of this cowboy hat stuff; as is appropriate for this list
she rode english, of course, on a purebred english-born Cleveland Bay (the
same sort I'm told is used to pull the Queen's carriage).
I sat on the horse once. It seemed a very long way to the ground.
