An Exercise In Straightness — Description

September 2011

Time for something completely different!

A blast from the past throwback to an RP with femalefred ...back at the OVEC competition in June, Marcus & Jemima arranged a bet where they would take each other's infamous horses for a ride slightly different than what they're used to.

Jemima has managed her part...with immense enthusiasm from Cobweb ...and partly to Laura's disgruntlement, who was famously dumped by Cobweb when she tried something similar in the past.

Marcus was challenged with getting Punk to be a "normal horse" and walk, straight, for a lap on each rein of the arena. Being that Punk is an ace showjumper who operates best in canter and can't think why anybody would ever want to do anything at a steady pace, or wtih more than 2 feet on the ground at once, this was much harder than it sounded...but Marcus has absolutely bottomless patience, and it only took a few (or 20) laps of giraffe-impersonating trot and a few explosive moments!

Winner gets treated to dinner...so I guess we'll split the bill?

The Polo Boys are most upset that they didn't get to carry out their forfeit (which most likely involved at least partial nudity and a very cold water trough)
