Saddle Up And Ride Your Pony

Olympics party. There were some absolutely genius outfits, a basketball player on stilts, a rowing team each with a cardboard section round their bums which, when they stood together, made a 'boat' complete with oars. The best was an official in a blazer, chinos, olympic tie and a javelin sticking out of his chest. Inspired, top class.

Gary and I were tennis players, two of many, but we went 'vintage' with old wooden racquets etc. Pictured here, our buddies Kim and Trev, top flight equestrians, I'm sure you'll agree. Slightly 'emotional', they'd won rosettes and it was late. Proving the exception to the rule 'you can take a horse to water ...'.


Saddle Up, David Christie, 1982, I've tried unsuccessfully to find a clip of Billy Connolly doing 'saddle up' from his classic 'Audience With' tv show.
