Born to the saddle

Loyal reader and friend Ben passed along an unfortunately worded sentence from the British newspaper the "Daily Mail": "Zara Philips is riding in public again for the first time since she gave birth to her baby on Mr. Murt."
Zara, an Olympic equestrian and Queen Elizabeth II's grand-daughter, gave birth to her first child, Mia, in January (not actually on horseback, one presumes). The article referred to the fact that she was competing on Mr. Murt and other horses in the Symm International Horse Trials in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, over Easter weekend. She was quoted as saying, "I am much more comfortable now. When I first got back on it was nice to get back in the saddle but you're not very stable as your muscles aren't working well."
