My experience of life is that a man who loves horses is a good member
of society. A man who is kind to his horses is kind to everyone else.
I belong to a Four-in-hand Club, two of the leading members, Lord
Onslow and Lord Carrington, being close personal friends of mine. A
relative of Lord Onslow once wrote:
"What can Tommy Onslow do
He can drive a coach and two;
Can Tommy Onslow do no more
Yes, he can drive a coach and four."
Yet Lord Onslow and Lord Carrington are something more than splendid
whips; they are highly successful governors of British Dependencies.
