An interesting point, din155. Beryl's father wasn't particularly conservative, in the sense that none of the young British who homesteaded in Kenya was particularly conservative. But more than that, I think he wanted a son, got Beryl, and went with it. And when Beryl proved as good with horses as he was, she became as much a partner as daughter in the horse training.
Understand that both Beryl and her father were each, in their own time, by far the most successful racehorse breeders of Kenya, a country and a crowd both quite race mad.
