Great choice of adjectives Marcus! Have you ever seen a horse in real life?
DeleteOn my daily exercise walk I often walk past Hackney City Farm and they have two horses in their field. One is brown and one is white. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to go for ride on them around the park!

Great adjectives Zayd! It's interesting how something can be both stressful and calming at the same time. Have you ever seen a horse in real life? I spotted two in Victoria Park last week. They were police horses and looked very big!
