not just the horse it's the rider it's a

team

i'll go sentimental

it's discipline makes a horse

show who's master

it doesn't work

champion's been trained to win and god

help him if he doesn't

when i say jump

he jumps

and when i say win

he'll win

you wouldn't beat dora

attention oh he's taking it seriously

enough

i think you're stuck with it but uncle i

don't even like show jumping do him the

world of good if you beat him

it's just what he needs

but uncle

lordship's a bit of a problem to his

mother you know needs taking down a pig

i expect you notice that much yes well

caroline wanted me to take him on knock

some of the arrogance out of him well

that's out of the question of the moment

of course but

thrash him in the show ring dora and the

one thing that he thinks he's good at

and you'll do more good for that boy

than you know

i'd like you to try

oh uncle well he's not asking much

cop is a splendid animal and you ought

to go into these things more

do it for caroline on the boy

and for me

[Music]

colonel's folly

[Music]

bit wide on the turn dora

you're frightened of making yourself

look a full luncher for that in the

spirit

if you're beaten you're beaten but at

least you had a go

it's not that slugger he's a stuck-up

creep and the more he wins the worst

he'll get if he beats dora now he'll be

impossible
