to one of the most attractive parks in Ontario from Toronto came for a picnic others came to swim or try Coles Photos their hand in a canoe The Erapioea River attracts many Conduct cave tours Sunday mornings How many of you are afraid to jump With a horse that is A lot of people feel that it beyond them or that they are really to old to start now Or perhaps they have got along perfectly well so far trotting the trails so why rock the boat Such was the case with a friend of many many years Fay Whiteside She had ridden as a child and young teenager but cir had prevented her continuing the sport until some twenty years later At this time her husband asked her it she wanted as a gift a fur coat or a horse She never was keen on furs so a mare was added to the family when Simpsons phoned that spring requesting the honour of storing Mrs Whiteside fur coat Fay replied that they certainly could pro viding they gave It lots of hay and oats Fay tried to teach herself to Jump on the new mare but the mount de posited her rider face down more often than not After several injuries Fay contented herself with trallriding But the yearning to Jump was never completely and when Fay became a grand mother she celebrated by signing up for Jumping lessons at a local stable A little grey mare Cleo was provided and the anxious pupil mounted to face her first real test in a proper Jumping arena Several success over small Jumps and cavaletti followed without Incident Until the day that the instructor decided to get cute On this day Fay arrived at the stable to find a complete International Jumping Course set out Oxers pole combinations and brush Jumps formed a com plicated test Involving 90 degree turns and insandouU The only difference between Una layout and one used by Olympic riders was that none of the Jumps were overs and some were really only high From the back of the Utile mare the course looked for midable The Instructor was adamant All Jumps were to be n from a fast canter in the order dictated and no falls would be tolerated Off they set at a good clip eyeing the first Jump a tremendous A great heave the world revolved horse and rider landed safely and was turned abruptly for a brush Jump The sliding stop performed by the mare would put a Quarter Horse to shame Spectators got a spectacular view of an upended backside and a rider eating horse ears while struggling to clutch her helmet The instructor had neglected to mention that Cleo hated to Jump from an angle The rest of the course proved to be just as hilarious but Fay never once touched the ground She clutched neck grabbed mane spat teeth but never actually fell off At one point a particularly sticky jump facing the canal threatened to land ray on to one of the passing barges Before she had completely regained her seat a man fishing decided It looked like ram and opened a Tours of Rockwood historic sites and the old caves near the conservation area are held each Sunday morning

said to those How does Fay like jumping now She loves it and recommends it for an one having bowel trouble But she gives a word of warning be sure to have stirrups the same length or buttock muscles
