I want to come 
Are you sure there's no way you can kidnap me from work in a raid and have me carried off by a handsome stranger up to HorseGuards. *thinks* Ok, forget the HorseGuards bit

Do you clean your gear then take your horse through the car wash?
I don't like horses... too big and too unpredictable. It must be hard going over the jumps with those drums on... |

It's even harder in the races, never bet on a cavalry bandy!
It was spectacular as usual and I got some quality photties which I may post if photobucket doesn't have it's usual wobbly. Even got to talk to him for a whole 3 minutes! Queenie seemed to enjoy it too. As soon as she spotted me, she came up for a quick chinwag, she's a good mate of mine is Liz. |

It is a shame, but hopefully next year he'll give me a bit more notice about it so we can book the day off!
I thought he looked great in his golds, I went all soppy

Sod cleaning the horse's gear as well! Do they shout 'Dressing' at the horses or the riders?

They were lucky this time, they got turned out which meant the scroats had to get the horses clean and ready instead!
Was a bloody good show, and the Guards bands were good too. |
