Mr Darcy - My first horse. 8 year old, 15.3hh bay Thoroughbred gelding, who's learning along with me how much fun it is to jump. One day we'll be good enough to go in competitons - I'll make sure of that! - but for now, we're having a ball together.
In riding a horse, we borrow freedom.
- Helen Thomson
The hooves of horses!
Oh! Witching and sweet,
Is the music earth steals from the iron-shod feet;
No whisper of lover, no trilling of bird,
Can stir me as much as hooves of horses
Have stirred.
- Will H. Ogilvie
When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk; he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.
