Anyone for a gallop?

This is Younger Daughter, aka Claire on her pony, Star. Claire has been riding since she was about eleven and has been horse-mad ever since, even though it has led to her sustaining a broken collar bone in her teens and, recently, a broken finger. 
But may I draw your attention to the perfectly straight back and excellent posture - it's all in the genes, you see!
(She doesn't speak welsh though...)

Claire has got off lightly in the accidents department. I am sure that many people have had far worse injuries than a broken collar bone and finger while engaged in far less dangerous hobbies.

You are probably right, CW. All the mishaps and huge amounts of money she has parted with over the years have not put her off though. ;)

I think the French have the right idea about horses - eat them!

But is the pony a Welsh one?

Her first one was but this one is a fell pony. Still leads her a merry dance, though. ;)

When I see pictures like that I always think of Thelwell's wonderful cartoons! Flighty xx

If I was going to be corny, I would say Claire is not wearing any jeans...however, I am not going to be corny.

She does sit well and the pony looks docile. Good picture.

Oh yes, I used to love those, Flighty and so did Claire. :)

Thanks, ZACL.

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
