Across the pond

It was a dark and dreary day in Dorset yesterday. It did not dampen the spirits of for the locals at the Melplas Show, which is THE event of the year in these parts. But it did tax the equipment and the skills of the photographer (i. e. me). So you will have to take my word for it that the picture shows a woman on a horse who is about to make a spectacular demonstration of Wild West horsewomanship, by hanging upside down while the horse gallops on. The grandchildren held their breaths but she managed to pull herself back to upright position, and to show that whatever the cowboys can do, the cow girls can do better. Sorry about the quality of the picture, but at least you can see that the horse is galloping.
