Oh I don't know - other recent Pros stories with horses? I'll have to go and scout around, by the sounds... The horse-y connection here came via milomaus rather than me thinking of the lads and horses - in fact it was only afterwards that I thought maybe one of the photoshoots with horses might have fit with it! Vaulting was new to me too - but looking it up online, there's more of it around than we might think! *g*

Dreamlike was the rhythm I was writing last night, really - but hopefully mixed in with the lads' real-worldliness enough for it to be them as well... that weird moment when an accident happens or perhaps when someone does something very risky and fast, and everything slows down enough for thoughts and thoughts and thoughts - and yet it's over in a bare blink of the eye to anyone watching... *g*

Thanks for the book rec too - d'you know the name Patricia Leitch is very familiar to me, and I wonder if I read them when I was a kid - in fact the Jinny series sounds familiar too... although looking at these covers nothing seems familiar there, so maybe I just saw her name around alot, but didn't actually read them. Either way you're right, they do look rather my thing, so I shall have to see what I can get hold of - thanks very much! (Nice to see you around, too - thoughts and wishes to you...)
