A Life in the Day of Nixdown Nixonteam that swept the continent winning trophies androsettes wherever we went. ‘We’ being Penny Ann,Jojo, Claire Brooks and I.Penelope Ann Evans was the eldest amongstus and the Captain of the team. She was always quietand reserved but she was a fabulous rider and led byexample.What a team we were. My dearest, life-longchum Jojo was the heart and soul of the team. On therare occasions things were not going too well shewould rally us and inspire us with her fearlessperformances.Claire Brooks always looked as if she hadstepped off the cover of Country Life. Long and lithe,pristine and elegant, and then she would open hermouth. Claire’s mother used to attend most meetsand I can’t tell you how many times we witnessedpoor old Claire being unceremoniously yanked acrossher mother’s knees to be soundly spanked with awood-backed hairbrush for potty-mouthing,regardless of the audience.I was the problem-child of the team due to thefact I was often between schools due to myunfortunate habit of being expelled.When I was unavailable our first reserve SarahForsham-Smythe would take my place. Sarah ofcourse is the daughter of the billionairess MelissaForsham-Smythe. Melissa was always apoplectic thather off-spring was not a first choice and it is onlyrecently that we have learned the extremes that shewas willing to go to in order for her daughter to getto ride in the Olympics.
