Does anyone know the words to this toast?

Does anyone out there know the words and origins of "A cavalrymans toast to the ladies" apparantly it was published in the Horse & Hounds in the late 1980's but I cannot access the archives!

from the Armed Forces Forum website:

My favourite toast is the cavalryman's toast -

'To horses, to women, and the men who ride them both'.

Probably not a good idea for a mixed dinner though.

There was one that went along the lines of....

To horses that sweat, men that perspire and the ladies who merely glow.

Possibilities
1) "To our wives and lovers. may they never meet !"
2) I'll toast the ones who do, I'll toast the ones who don't, but not the ones who say they wiil and then decide they won't. But the one I'll toast from the break of day to the wee small hours of the night, is the one who says, "I never have, but just for you, I might !"
