escaped? (1)
what classes? (7)
what for? (10 -- I did it for horsemanship and calf-roping, but that was centuries ago in my case. Haven't been on a horse in 20 years).

Escaped. It was a locked youth hostel at the time, but still, a castle at dawn, a locked door, and an unlocked window. And a hell of a drop, because we didn't see the gully right under said window!

Pleasure over Fences is the one I remember, I know there was one other. I've passed 20 years horseless (wah!) but my high school had a riding team.

that's a castle at dawn for sure. Betcha the gully was why the window was unlocked...

Your TA classes sound more interesting than mine. (Classical Greek History -- University of Virginia). Teaching was much better than being a TA, but still paid for squat, which is why ah is a technikal writer.

Didn't think there was such thing as pleasure over fences. Been dumped enough out of a saddle, never occurred to me to encourage the effort. (yes, I'm a wuss.)

It's been a long time, but IIRC, Pleasure Over Fences was a jumping competition with pleasure horses instead of hunters.
