Brilliant! And not far wrong either!  She used to ride out all the best horses in the yard while I was there and what was unusual was that the girls in the yard were not allowed anywhere near the colts but Sarah used to always ride the colts - and be up at the front of the string with all the older lads swarming around her.  My mother never quite forgave her for referring to me as "the girl" in a TV interview when the filly I led up had won and pulled a shoe off (I was seen carrying shoe back in to winners enclosure).  "Girl??!!" She screamed at the TV, "She's got a f*cking name!"  In fact I don't think she remotely bothered about our existence in the yard - which was odd really because her husband certainly did......
