Sinossi
Excerpt from Tobogganing on Crooked Runs
Most of us have our hobbies. For some time the toboggan and how to use it has been mine. I am afraid that, like other horses, my hobby is not altogether free from vice. In the past he has occasionally been guilty of boring. This time he seems to have taken the bit between his teeth and fairly bolted, and I must ride him to as good a finish as I may.
