Quote:Much appreciated, Graham: one of the ironies of being out there is that cowering under a shield rather spoils ones view at the time - but I can still hear the hoofbeats!
Tell me about it Steve. I did the man on foot fighting the horse routine for nearly 10 years. When I was in Portugal one horse decided to jump over me and apparently walked over my shield! Like you I did not see it but I can tell you that it is when you do not hear the hoofbeats that it is time to worry!
I was especially disappointed that you were not there Paul.
