My mother used to relay the story about my great grandfather almost losing control of an eight in hand whilst performing before King George V at Windsor.
The reason behind this was the fancy gloves they had given him to wear for the occasion made it difficult for him to maintain a grip on the reins.
He was commended by the King afterwards for his quick action in discarding his gloves and pulling the team up bare handed!
No doubt it smarted somewhat!? :pinch:

12 photos of a Reserve Grade royal wedding. Womens Weekly would be proud.
All the forum members probably have sore skulls from all that forelock tugging (those who have forelocks).
