A Memory of Selsey.

I remember the Crown Riding Stables very well. My family, the Worboys, lived in Selsey during the 1960s and emigrated to Australia in 1969. Every weekend I would go to the stables to groom the horses and muck out the stables. I was always wary of a horse named Tansy, she was known to give a powerful kick if you stood anywhere near her rear end. After a few attempts I decided that riding the horses was not for me but I still enjoyed being around them.

I used to ride at the Crown too! We moved to Selsey in 1960 so I was seven when I first went there, I used to ride an elderly cob called Sheila and my sister rode Gipsy. I also remember Danny-Boy, and was there a Queenie as well? Don't recall Tansy but Danny was also of uncertain temperament too and I loved him.
Anyone else ride at the Crown?
