Went out for a hack on George, the horse that looks like a cow,

Big ruts in path, I could see it coming a mile away, ruts covered by grass in places, yup, you guessed it, Gorge puts foot in rut, panics, I'm on his back, but not for long, hurts more than 100mph barrier hits at Cadewell.........

Like a true cowboy didn't let go though, eventually got back on and rode home.

Must have looked like a gooden cos Mrs usually laughs but this time rode up to us genuinely concerned for my well being, (or forgot where the insurance docs where....

You see, I've read that as if you were sat on a horse. Sat on a horse for it to carry you about. Like it was a bike or something. But obviously that's not what you meant. I mean, sitting on a big animal for it to give you a ride?? C'mon. It's not natural and certainly not normal. You could have an accident doing such things.....

I dont suspect, I know your right.

Damned dangerous things, horses - no brakes, reliable steering or accelerator and a mind of their own! Stick to what you know Jon - you know it makes sense
