She Went Of Her Own Accord

Many years ago, when my father was a young lad, his parents sent him to have Riding lessons. However, he wasn't very good and was finding the whole thing rather difficult, so my grandparents decided to send him to a specialist school in an African country that has since changed its name to Zimbabwe.

Rhodesia?

Why yes, after a few weeks he looked like an absolute natural!
