I just ran across a wonderful Reagan story in vol.2 of Bill Bennett’s great history, “America the Last Best Hope”:
Reagan…and the Queen [Elizabeth II] were both avid riders. Reagan’s men were especially eager to get “visuals” of the president and the Queen riding at the royal estate at Windsor. As the two heads of state galloped up a steep hill, however, the Queen’s horse let out a long, loud blast of gas.
“Oh, I’m so sorry, Mr. President,” the Queen said.
Without hesitation, Reagan responded: “It’s alright, Your Majesty; I thought it was the horse.”
