This is who I want to be -

The first Marchioness(of Salisbury) was painted by Sir Joshua
Reynolds, and hunted till the day she died at eighty-five, who,
half-blind and strapped to the saddle, she was accompanied by a groom
who would shout, when her horse approached a fence, "Jump, dammit, my
Lady, jump" - Barbara Touchman, The Proud Tower

What a horse does under compulsion is done without understanding,
and there is no beauty in it either, any more than if one should
whip or spur a dancer.

-Xenophon
