Why is a horse measured in hands? Why can't it be feet and inches like the rest of the Imperial world? I have ridden a horse. On a beach. And Galloped. I may tell the story, if I haven't already?

Sitting on top of over 16 hands at more than 30mph is a thrill equal to flying faster than the speed of sound at 50' above ground level. I'll ignore the fact that Al seems to be calling me a c**t. The last yob who did that needed a trip to A&E. Mr A: While I love transferring the value of three farrier’s visits from a bookies account to my own, it’s the spectacle of the thing.
