Mm Links April 2013 Week 3
More than five generations of Mrs Strix family have bred, trained and competed on horses.
From earliest youth they all have had close relationships with their horses. This means they are closely in tune with them and know, intimately, their individual temperaments and various idiosyncratic quirks.
Mrs S can sense when a horse is feeling well but, more importantly, when something is not quite right and it is “off-colour”. 99.9% of her intuitions, if you can call them that, prove accurate.
Others, including our vets, postulate that it is almost a form of telepathy.
However I am a rather more prosaic about my wife’s intuitions, telling them that what she is doing is, in her sub-conscious, putting together various bits of information from her senses, synthesizing them and then coming to a diagnosis.
Anyhow, enough guff, now for the competition and let’s hope you have as much success this time around as so many of you did last weekend.
