      The Wedding

      The Wedding

      Lorna Dounaeva

      Iride proudly along the country lane. I’d never ridden a horse until recently. I’ve always been a bit wary of them, with their tombstone teeth and concrete hooves. But I had this dream, where I rode to my wedding on horseback, my white dress billowing out behind me and gardenias in my hair. It was such a beautiful image that I had to act on it. So here I am.

      Trigger is a smallish horse, about 14 hands high, part Appaloosa, part Arabian. His handler, Jen is smitten with him and from the way he keeps nuzzling her, I would say it’s mutual.

      He is very intelligent, Jen told me at my first lesson. And extremely agile, not to mention friendly. Just perfect for a beginner.

      I had thought that mounting the horse would be the trickiest part, but hanging on is proving trickier still. I concentrate on maintaining my balance, keeping my feet planted firmly in the stirrups and a tight hold on the reins. Even with riding boots, it is difficult to sit right in this dress. Who’d have thought it would be so slippery?

      Jen walks along beside me and, every so often, she utters words of encouragement.

      That’s nice, well done.

      I’m not sure if she’s speaking to me or Trigger.

      A group of hikers wave to me as they pass by on their way up the hill. I smile and wave back as
