      I haven't tried doing it on a horse myself, but the motto of
the Happy Hoofers Singles Riding Club was ``Do it on a horse'',
although Sue Sheenan, who used to be club president, said
``I did it on a horse, and it was lousy.''
      The HHSRC was an interesting idea; you had to be a single horse owner
to join, and they had rides every week.  When the club was dominated by
endurance riders, it was a lot of fun; the rides were long and proceeded
at a good clip, and the riders were thin, energetic types, usually mounted
on Arabians.  But later they became more of a social and drinking club,
with more parties than rides and much heavy drinking, and I lost interest.

An aside: Endurance Arabians are some of the most magnificent athletes one
will ever encounter of any species; once in a while I meet someone riding
one on a trail high in the hills, and it's great seeing a gorgeous dapple
grey Arabian with huge dark eyes and a foam-flecked coat; an animal that
probably covered twenty miles in the last two hours and is still eager
to go.  If you keep a horse in that kind of condition, though, they need
to be worked constantly and hard; one mare I know of wakes up at 4 AM
each morning and starts making a racket until someone comes out and rides
her; her owner normally rides her twenty miles a day, before breakfast.
Endurance riders tend to be extreme morning people.  I went to an endurance
ride once; revillie at 0500, breakfast at 0530, ride out at 0600, finished
with 25 miles by 0930 or so.   I'm a night person; I only did that once. JN
