Clue: Trainer whipped his pony? It's not normal.
Letter pattern that I have : ?H?S?O.

Can anyone help or am I just being thick.

physio?

anag of "his pony" without the "n". Somehow the word "normal" represents the letter "n" wich I've never seen before.

Trevor. You are right - "n" isn't usually used as an abbreviation for normal, its usually "new" or "name". However in chemistry, N means Normal as opposed to M which means Molar,
eg N Hydrochloric Acid. I'm sure you didn't want to know this information really.

I did actually - the Alchemist - thanks for that.

Also,
"In physics, the normal force F_n\ (or in some books N) is the component, perpendicular to the surface of contact, of the contact force exerted by, for example, the surface of a floor or wall."

I'm off to look up "Molar" now.

Trevor. Wow. This is getting very technical for this forum. Molar is to do with the gram molecular weight.

Thanks, guys. I did have 'physio' but couldn't see the connection. The explanation of 'N' is now clear. Odd, I know but what has 'whipping' to do with 'physio' I have never heard of any physiotherapy using whipping. It has been a very odd crossword all through.

Hi Dillon
"Whipped" just implies it's an anagram. Like whipped cream - stirred up the letters (without the "n").
Not a great clue, in my opinion.

The setter is using whipping to indicate it is an anagram, ie whip up the letters of "his pony" after the "n" has be removed.

ps. I like your idea of combining whipping and physio. I'd consider getting fit with that kind of regimen.
