On riding

French riding lessons differ from English ones in two ways.

First, the content:

You have to find your horse...

Collect it...

Using reasonable force...

Where necessary...

Take it to the stables...

Clean it...

Sit on it...

Play tag with it...

Spin on it...

And stand on it...


The second difference is the price:

For two hours of horse contact, including one hour of riding - nine euros, twenty. Remarkable.

There is a third difference that you overlooked; when French riders become bored with their hobby, they simply eat their horse. . . .

:-p

(yeah, actually, I'm just bitter; we currently pay £24 for an hour of riding . . . . .)
