Summary

In today’s ‘mane’ episode, there’s no horsing around as we take gallop through the etymological equine world. Susie explains what the name Duncan and donkeys might have in common, why we might have ‘walloped’ instead of ‘galloped’, how ponies are linked to chickens and why we need to take a trip to Canterbury to uncover the origin of the canter. Gyles serenade us with a stallion of a song before - of course – treating us to a rather decadent name drop about the Italian jockey, Frankie Dettori. Susie also shares a few stories of her own pony, Tic-Tac as she takes us on a hack down memory lane.

Gyles' poem this week is from the book “Words From The Wild” by Mark Graham Photographers are so serious And often quite uptight I love to pop up in their zoom It gives them such a fright Best of all the close ups though Above them in a tree When as they focus on my face I sprinkle them with wee A Somethin’ Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.
