Half A Ton Of Muscle With A Brain The Size Of A Cat

It seemed like a nice day for a drive in the country..

A real My Own Private Idaho kind of day.

A friend of mine has stables north of the city here. Here's what a four legged Ferrari looks like:

Yep, that beautiful beast will set you back about the same amount as a brand new Ferrari. It doesn't go quite as fast, but has a hell of a lot more prestige - I guess that's the trade-off you make. It's going to be ridden by one of the top 3 dressage riders in the world at the upcoming 'Equitana' - the largest equine event in the southern hemisphere.

Excited? You should be! I know I was.

Struggled a bit changing gears & couldn't find the volume control, but other than that it was alllll good.

Oh, and here's an action shot:

Yes, that's what happens when I give a noob my camera. You'll just have to imagine it's me being awesome. Hey well done! In your mind I'm amaaaaazing! *laugh*
