The first running of the new equestrian event, reverse steeplechase, in which the horse and rider exchange places, was a huge hit with London crowds…
Here is Mr. Fishton Van Smelt, winner of the first race, with a time of 12 hours, 16 minutes and 32 seconds, posing with his horse, Fluffy…
In the words of Mr. Van Smelt, “The flat bits weren’t so bad, but those bloody jumps are murder. Can you please finish taking my picture so I can put Fluffy down? My back is killing me.”









Is his hand up her…
Nevermind.
You need a pretty tight grip to run like that, not to mention the jumping part.
I would watch your Olympics in a heartbeat.
You just may have to…
SERIOUSLY??
When have I ever been that?
Good point. Although I suppose if I were to sucker punch you, you might have a moment where you wonder if you could be…
I wonder that a lot.
Save a horse, ride a jockey…
A good motto for a new sport.
that’s funny
I have the best commenters… I borrowed some of them from you.
We both have awesome commentors. They say genius attracts genius. Okay, I actually have never heard it put exactly that way, but someone should have said it.
Someone just did…
You heard it to? Thank goodness. I thought I was hearing voices in my head or something. I know that I wrote it, but I have never actually heard it until it came into my mind and then I thought that I might be just weird or something, but if you are hearing it to, that is great.
Oh, I heard something alright.
