Light edit …In fact I used to have a lot of nightmares about that horse. I was pregnant then, ten months pregnant, and really big. I didn’t even know how to ride a horse and had hardly ever been on one, and I was afraid to learn at that point, especially to learn how to ride on a horse that everybody said was very difficult and had thrush. The horse’s name by the way was Bugger Bear.

Heavy edit (after discussion with writer)
…In fact, I used to have nightmares about that horse, who was notoriously difficult (his name was Bugger Bear) and had a painful foot condition called thrush. I was six months pregnant, very big, and it didn’t seem like the right time to learn how to ride.
