Her funeral is scheduled for next week... in an amazing fit of pique, her faithful mount bucked her off, onto the hardrock scrabble roadway in South Belkarth - she was taken from us so young... sigh. I spoke to the horse about that later - he's sorry, but she kept yelling at him, or me, or the countryside - we were never quite sure which. Horse is stricken with sorrow, meant no harm, but the 1000th time she said "hough" or "yahoo" - we were never certain what it was, he just went nuts and that was that. Believe me, this is not his fault, we looked endlessly for a way to convince her not to be on the horse's case so audibly, but never found the switch. G'bye Isobel, may you find quiet peace wherever you have gone. - --_Duchess Harrington_
