Operation Bebe
Sir,—ln reply to Mr Wilson (March 26), the correspondent must have been travelling fairly fast if (he or she) could not tell the difference between the gear on the horses. I was in Western gear not English. Second, I could guarantee my horse. I took three years and a half to school and train him not six weeks or so, and a welltrained horse does not spook. I have been riding for 24 years With one arm which includes icattle droving in Australia and riding in rodeos here. Third, I
am not disabled, just handicapped. and all types of good competitors are handicapped one way or another and still win. On that day, in my opinion, 50 per cent of the motoring public were more than mentally handicapped and should not have been driving cars; I would not give them a wheelbarrow.—Yours, etc., D. ROBERTSON One-arm rodeo rider March 26, 1981.
