Compostulating With The Times

I finally found

This. Part of my grumpy factor involves a basement that has developed it's very own ecosystem, one I could not venture into for oh, 10 years, I'm ashamed to say. Since we were having some rather extreme "other" issues with the landlord, we just couldn't bring ourselves to complain about anything else. Weird, pathetic rationale, but there you are.
There was one or two things I had stored in the basement, that I basically had given up on. One of them was a tape of me riding. I've video'ed it with my camera. It was taken by the father of one of my students, great people, still deeply into horses. They were sponges, always imploring more knowledge of all types. When I quit teaching, I donated all of my Practical Horseman's, & Equus's, to them. Books, you name it. I sadly found one of my favourite horse books completely ruined. I'm glad I had forgotten about it;)



This is a mare called "Jaimie", that no-one else really wanted to ride. We had a great time together, being quite kindred spirits. She was hot, and opinionated. A tad of a know-it-all. Remind you of anyone?
:)
Sorry for the terrible quality. I was just pleased as punch to find the darn thing, relatively unscathed. The tape survived! There's more, I just haven't finished watching it yet. I think another horse I was riding is also on the tape, a horse I based one of my characters on, in the fiction..
