Itt Case you've forgotten last week's
eeltlnut or didn't read it, 1 wrote about
horseback riding for ,handicapped people -
")'his week's column is in reply to the reader
who stopped me on the street' acid :asked.
,'Did you write from a. bird's eye view?''
The answer is definite: "No way!"
I visited a riding stable and talked to a
few people about their experiences. Some
suggested that I fired out for myself, but :I
declined for, se4"eral- reasons,
First,, I didn't want to offend the people I
interviewed by making them think I didn't
believe them. I wanted th:errt: to know I
appreciated the time they had taken to talk
With me ,
Second, 1'waStet dressed for •horseback
Ming.
Third, I'm chicken,
When pressed to try something. I'd
rather not, my standard reply is, "I could, if
•
1 wanted to but I really don't want to, slit
why should I waste your time and mine ,
doingsomething 1 really don't want to do.
anywaY?, "
The run-on question is :.usually long.
enough to discourage 'further attempts at
persuasion. But. not always;',4'•
When I was about fifteen, my father and
brother-in-law 'hounded me until 1 tried
horseback riding,
1 gave in with the understanding
that, if'1 tried once and didn't. like it, they
wouldn't coax me to, try again, At least,.
that's the way . I understood it.
I Mounted a coal black steed and felt his
power beneath. .my knees. He was.
champing at the . bit, impatient to fly.
Together we., rocketed through meadow's
and forests,: over streams, fences and.
fallen logs, in a daring unforgettable ride.
Well, 1 may have exaggerated a little.
Actually my "Steed"' was, a"black Shetland'
ponv..and my father and brother-in-law'
were at each side as we ambled down the
farm lane' to the road;atid baek'to the barn-
a
arn-a dis1tagee of about two hundred: yards,
"1 ,gave my brother in-law niy 0ua1
warnin : '' If you let Q. l it nee spealg.ta
you again!!" and he gave iris ektstur lar r
reply: "'Promises! ;Promises!

'Of us aren't. '
Half the family loses to ride: the rest of
us love to watch them ride. They .enjoy
grooming horses and: working with them;
we enjoy admiring horses ft'ont a safe
distance,'preferrily, with a'fe;nee between
us,
They can't understand our timidity.. and
we east t understand their fearlessness.
The dissension has led to a fewarguments,.
such as the following, examples.
Request.,."'Don't ride through the
flowerhed ". Response... "We"re three feet
away, from, it." .
Request..."'Don't tie that horse so close
to the shrubs!.' Response..,"`She won't eat
shrubs. She just 'eats grass. Slue knows the
difference!" '
Question..,"Do you have to .head that
horse straight for me when .l'm lying: here
trying to get suntan?"
Response..."What's the }natter with
you? She won't walk on gout'"'
Counter resPOnse..."•Maybe she won't,
.but I'm not sea sure about :;out

Answer...” No thanks,. I'm busy."
Aw c'nton." .6nswer.,,"No 1 don't
want to interfere with your riding." •
"That's not the real reason, ehicken!"
"Qat lost:"
hope this summer we will be able to
agree on a truce; 1 won't interfere with the
test of the family's riding onhorseback, if
they, 'don't interfere with my staying on
solidi ground. .

1 -We were fortunate, des-
. ire the stormy weather, to
,,attend the international Har-
vester's Choir, Hamilton, in
First Presbyterian Church,
,sponsored by the Lion's;
Club. It was sponsored by
the Lion's Club. It was a raze'
,experience to hear this rnen,'s+
:choir of fifty voices., Their
talented •condueter' guided
them through• a number of
songs. He talked to his choir
withhis hands and prodnee i
good timing .and delicate
shading effects. The pro-
gram was varied and appeal-
ing. The choir was relaxed
and ;seemed to be enjoying •
themsetres. Several took
solos which added to the
variety of the concert.
The Conductor announced,
each song with comments.
where possible. The first
number was "0 What a
Beautiful. Day •It is" which
amused a slight reaction in
the audience. He said if it.
had been a week ago it would.
have been more appropriate.
I would like to comment on a,
few of :the songs which linger
in my memory. Two Bible
stories by Sister Teresa, a
nun, in U.S.A., composed for
children - "'Zacchaeus, Come
Down!" and "The Wedding,
Banquet."
"I Love London" brought
back happy memories to me
