Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sporting Reminiscences I think I should like this book to consist of about a dozen words and then a toast. Chapter I - Fox hunting with all the honours. Chapter the last, a toast - Fox hunting; but perhaps my funds for fox hunting next year might be curtailed if I simply sent that to my kindly publishers. I cannot remember how old I was - probably about three, if one can recall oneself at that age, when I was first lifted on a horse in one of the stables at home - but I remember it quite well. My joy in the life I felt under me, my mischievous little heels drumming at a big sleek side; my fury because they would not let me ride out of the box. My mother, a very fine rider herself, taught me to ride (sideways) without a saddle. We were allowed a girth to hold on to and very long hair, because my stud consisted of an ass called Donna Inez, and a milk pony; but my mother believed in balance.
