Glad it went well Scrumpy    but a fiver to park? We don't pay to park at hospitals here. You need to take a free ticket and you get 4 hours. If you don't have a ticket you get hammered with non parking tickets and it can cost a lot.

Fred never heard a word that Nelly said
He felt so tired, so went off to bed
Nelly followed and her mouth kept moving
She spoke of the gossip,nothing soothing

That's a shame, I don't find the Clydes too much of a jolt, they are the big softies of the Equine World IMO. Maybe you could try a heavy horse and see how you go. 

More or less 
More less than more 
I am still the same person that rode spirited horses and I still am confident but I have been ( touch wood ) free from back pain for nearly a year now and I amd afraid the jolting of a horse might spark it off again .
Even when I do ride I wear short boots and chaps rather than long boots now.
