Hi Jacob,
How do I unsubscribe from your lists, please?
Unsubscribing has not been successful thus far - not permanently, anyway.
Thanks!
Have a stunning day, All of You!!

FWIW, my two forms of exercise here at home in Kempton are an exercise
bicycle, and my full on drum kit.
Apart from that I know about a VI horse riding instructor in the USA who
uses the vOICe on his phone to check his students postures, and, lastly,
something like the loadstone GPS software would most likely suit your horse
riding navigation perfectly.
Stay well
