No Horses In The Waiting Room

While being wheeled to an appointment, Franklin, who often shows me pictures of horses he hires out, showed me for a change a picture of a horseless carriage bodied car.

Many carriages quite un horseless have been pulled by creatures which have been treated cruelly, but Franklins' charges are treated well.

He once showed me a rescue horse he had adopted, and her unmatted chesnut coloured hair covered a happy seeming animal.

I pointlessly wonder if Franklin, who attends a foot clinic, ever says to horses whose hooves he must attend to, 'I'm having my own hooves done next week.'
