Nesta’s Diary

Had a brillopad day riding today. Looked fab in cream jodhpurs. WC was sniffy about them. Later on Simon explained that serious riders only wear dark jodhpurs because they have to muck out their horse’s stable after riding. Poo. I can’t imagine owning my own horse. Must be top.

It was cool having Tony along today. WC made an effort to be more pleasant to me because he was there. Well, at least when he was around. Must make use of this and take him along more often. We had a real laugh wearing our hats backward, but of course WC was suffering her usual sense of humor failure and was not amused.

Phoned model agency. They want £260 to register and do a portfolio. Am seriously considering it so that I can be mega-rich and buy a whole stable of horses.

Am getting the hang of horse-riding. Be cool. Be unafraid. Be gentle. Don’t try to run before you can walk. Ha ha.

I got on a lot better with Heddie today I didn’t feel so frightened and I think the feeling was mutual.

I don’t think it must be very nice to have a leathery bit thing in the mouth that people pull on. No wonder he wouldn’t do what I wanted the first time, when he wanted to eat grass and I kept yanking him up. It must have hurt. Now I have decided to be very gentle and just nudge him a little when I want to go off instead of kicking him. It seemed to work better. I think he knew I was trying to be nice. Also, it’s common sense that if you treat anyone—human or animal—nicely, they will be nice back (except WC).

Maybe if I don’t become an actress I will be the English Horse Whisperer. Maybe not, as that would probably mean mucking out, which I don’t fancy the sound of at all.
