SNOW!!!!!!!

I love and hate snow at the some time, it's wet and slippery and unbelievably COLD but it's great fun. We had a massive snowball fight at school, it was sort of against the rules so we were told off :) I'll get some pictures of the snow.

Dad installed a awesome light that shines onto the new arena, he was on a tall ladder at the top of the barn! I would never do that because I'm terrified of heights.

On Saturday I went with Katie, Mike and Sophie to a Collage competition, Katie wasn't actually allowed to compete because she was over age by a less then a year. They made an exception for her though. Sophie got one pole down, but still got a very pretty PINK (I know I used to hate pink.) Sash with fifth place.

On Sunday Rob, Naomi and I went to the Oakington Church and back. I had the reigns dropping really low while poor Ginger (Orange) had a strong contact :( Oh well she has to work more. We went to the field and Cantered so unbelievably fast! The wind was coooold but you could see that Sophie was really enjoying it, see needed a good run around. Naomi had to check every now and then that is was still on, it was FANTASTIC. It felt like we were going about 100mph, it was truly Brilliant. I could feel and hear my blood pumping near my ears, and my heart beating so fast. The exhilaration. (My English teacher would be proud of the words I'm using, by the way English is my worst subject.)

I've thought back of how far I've come over the last couple of years, I was quite amazed. I remember when I was Very Very little and I was too scared to give Fella a carrot or get near him, and when I first sat on him, and first trotted and cantered. Great times, from that to jumping, Cantering so fast! It really is stunning.

I'll get some pictures of the snow and the new light and arena.

  1. Are the lights for the big arena, recently re-done or are they for the very newest arena, near the smaller one? (That is, if the very newest one is built yet.)

    What a fun ride you had on your last hack! You have indeed come a long way lately. Rob says you ride really well now!

  2. Yes the newer arena is built and the light is for the new arena. The only reason I'm going on hacks is because I'm riding 5 to 6 days a week. Plus I haven't actually gotten that far.
