I’m still a Junior Volunteer at the stables.
The horses love rolling about in the outdoor
arena, but it makes them muddy. I now
have a grooming rosette for giving a
horse a really good groom. I enjoyed it,
but it did take about an hour!
Recently I visited some friends who
have horses near their house. One had
a shiny bridle -and you can guess why I
called another one ‘Dalmatian-Bottom’!
When I went out of the gate, one of the
smaller horses tried to escape! I really like
all the things I do with horses.
I’m getting good at Level 2 riding. I think I
accidentally cantered a few weeks ago! It
was meant to be a trot, but the leader had
the lead-rope clipped on in the wrong place
and we went so fast, I’m pretty sure it was
actually a canter! It was really fast but didn’t
feel bumpy and for some reason I felt I
didn’t need to do the up-down thing that
you do in rising trot.
You don’t usually get to pick which horse
you’re on, but for whatever reason I always
seem to be on a black horse. The stables
have recently been getting some new
horses. I might get to ride them soon.
Horses aren’t the only thing I can ride
– I can also ride Minecraft pigs!
This is how I felt!
