Ravc a Horse Riding Course

The Royal Army Veterinary Corps A horse riding course By Stanley Russell Harris The new mad author & A Poetry Soup honourably mentioned poet. When I learnt to ride a horse! First, I fell off of course. That was while the horse was still. On the flat not on a hill! Then the horse began to walk. So did I, as fell of course. Quickly I soon did re- mount. As the instructor, at me did shout! Then the horse began to trot. Rise and fall I did not. Well actually I did rise. As fell again to my surprise! Then, at the canter we did go. Of course I fell again you know. Bruised my pride and lost my hat. The instructor was not pleased with that. Then, finally, at the gallop we did go. Blimey that speed was not slow. I beat the horse, but to be fair. Only because I flew through the air! I class this as a, ' cowboy,' poem as they ride horses, don't they? RAVC stands for the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, when I joined the army I had to learn to ride. Although my chosen work was training dogs. After all they are smaller than horses, Less dangerous or or so I thought . And the best thing there was not so far to fall off. lol.
