The very Worst Riding School in the World

What kind of idiot opens and runs a riding school when they are scared of horses, can't ride, with no capital, no insurance and half the horses are not fit for the knacker's yard? The author is that idiot and in the first part of this short novella Lucinda E Clarke explains how it all came about and how she finds herself the reluctant proprietor of a riding school in the wilds of Africa.
