Per: “Horses are not my thing”
Written by roxeteer on January 18, 2005 to Per Gessle.
As one of the journalistic highlights of the century, Per Gessle tells Aftonbladet that “horses are not his thing.”
“I have ridden a horse once. It was when I turned 30 and I had wished horseback riding as a present,” Per tells Aftonbladet’s horse sport reporter. “It didn’t go too well. I rode around the school’s indoor arena and the horse became so bored that it went back to stables and didn’t want to come out anymore.”

What an appalling and thoroughly unprofessionaly piece of reporting.
I consider it woefully unfair that both Aftonbladet and TDR would publish such an article without at least getting the horse’s viewpoint.
Perhaps the horse was just felling unwell that day. We’ll just never know.
Huh! Thanks TDR! ;)

@judith. yes. classic by Visa. This facinating fact is top of my
’CRAP I NEVER REALLY NEEDED OR WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ANYONE, LET ALONE PER’ list.
Well done again to Visa for his keen use of sarcasm. oam

Yeah let’s ask for the horses comment...
Did it maybe also yawn?
*rowlingonthefloorlaughing*
I would like to read something like that every day please. Just keep us informed. Thank you.
Per should be glad that cars are not able to do such things!!!
(**Car thinking**:”Oh..no he is just taking me for a trip from Villa Gessle to Hotel Tylösand...MAN..I’m a FERRARI....take a bike next time...”) ;);)

I agree with xarrrr. This is the most random front-page topic I’ve seen since coming here. I like it, lol. :P
And I must say, Per, I’m not a horsey person either.
Kattunge said on January 18, 2005 20:44:
I am right that Per put on some weight?
He looks great.
It´s not good to be too thin.

LOL LOL
This article is incredible!!! Good job!
And your comments - LOL LOL
@Kattunge I don’t think that PER has gained weight. HE looked great and thin at Rockbjornen.

But... That’s what I remember from “GT25 Special: 25 questions to Per Gessle”: “...I’ve always wanted to... ride a horse”. A little contradiction, don’t you think?
roxeteer (moderator) said on January 19, 2005 11:59:
@Loki: Yeah, that’s true... Check it yourself at http://www2.dailyroxette.com/article.php/1600
Strange indeed.

“I’ve always wanted to be able to...ride a horse”, so it’s not really a contradiction.

I didn´t say that he is fat, but he is not that thin that before.
He looks very good.
Sometimes he is too thin.

Is this article really important? So he doesn’t like horses? Who really cares?! Someone must be desperately trying to make new articles about Roxette, *rolls eyes*

hahaha! the horse didn’t want to walk anymore!! :P Imagine Per on the horse telling it to walk, and the horse ignoring him and standing there with Per sitting on it “and now what” :P
I rode a horse once too, I only remember how much my jeans stinked afterwards! It wasn’t that amazing, I liked caressing the horse though. I am a cat person anyways ;)
