I should be so Lucky
On Sunday all Jacob's horse-riding dreams came true while simultaneously fulfilling some of Ron's worst nightmares. Now that's quite a feat for one horse isn't it?
We finally managed to be at the Collingwood Children's Farm on a Sunday on which they have free pony rides. After queuing up for a good three-quarters of an hour Jacob's dreams were realised and he finally sat proudly astride a reasonably impressive horse. While they're called 'pony rides' the steeds in question are actually full-sized horses. As each child has to be accompanied by a parent, and the height of the horse making my presence pretty much redundant, (I'm only 165cm) Ron had to 'volounteer' to walk beside the horse for the duration of the ride. Ron's enthusiasm for horse-riding has been well documented. From the look on Jacob's face as he sat astride Lucky, he'll be getting plenty of opportunity to develop it even further.
