Most people talked about the bride's stunning gown, the guests' creative hats, the awe-inspiring setting ... but not from where I was sitting. I watched the royal wedding with a friend who has two horses, and her favorite part of the whole early-morning affair came when the royal party rode to Buckingham Palace in horse-drawn carriages.
The caffeine kicked in and she sat upright on the edge of the sofa.
"Those horses are beyond spotless," she said. "And look at the tack! It's perfectly polished. The hours that must have taken!"
She noted that the horses' manes were "perfectly pulled" and "every hoof" was polished.
However, horses will be horses: one of them got spooked by the noisy crowds and commotion and threw its rider.
"Oh, thank God it wasn't me -- for a change," said my pal.
