My filly has health problems. So she needs to walk every day. I go with her. Today we are walking the inner West of Sydney from our stable at Stanmore. We go up Enmore Road and then King Street Newtown. Across Missenden Road past the RPA hospital, I usually smoke at this point, and then down Salisbury Road back to Stanmore.
If we are feeling enthusiastic, or rather if she is, we continue down to Crystal Street to Addison Road Marrickville and then back up to Enmore Road. Sometimes we stop at the Marrickville Metro Mall, Mrs Horse's favourite local shopping spot. She shops for food every day.
Then we go home and I collapse from exhaustion. It's about 10 kilometres, quite a canter for a 2500 thousand year old horse. Wouldn't it be easier just to be overweight and unwell I sometimes think?
I must go put my saddle on.
