Horses don't bet on people

******************************************


Apparently Claire Balding commented (at the Grand National) that is was lovely to see horses who had lost their jockeys still running and jumping the fences.


This has given me a great idea: If horses do love running and jumping so much that they will do it on their own - just for the fun of it - why not do away with the jockeys?


The horses would go faster (they wouldn't need saddles or the other stuff - just a sort of cloth on their back with a number on it - like greyhounds) and jockeys would no longer have to risk their necks (or the anger of owners and trainers when they lost).


I really am surprised no on has thought of this before.


Don't you think this would be a splendid idea, Anna?


Love.....George
