Today

Today I went to my 1 hour lesson at my riding school. It takes about 45mins to get there by car, but I think it is well worth it! I was riding a small piebald pony called Chequers, I've ridden him before and he can be very good but, if it's a bad day he can be a bit stubborn

The lesson went well but not as well as other rides I have had on him. I really enjoy my lessons, and this was another one to remember. Here is a picture of me and him waiting to go!

My youtube video

This is a video of me when I was a lot younger! (About 6-7yrs old) I made this animation with my dad and all my toy horses!

For those of you with dogs...

If you have a dog then for a great tasty treat for him/her make them some dog biscuits! I have made lots of biscuits for Jasper, they are great training treats. I have avoided making biscuits with meat because they are a bit unhealthy, the ones I have made are:
  • Peanut butter bicuits
  • Apple and honey bites
  • Cupcakes with doggy frosting (for his first birthday treat!)
If you are interested in doing this for your dog then there are plenty of recipes online. A nice website I found, with a large variety of biscuit flavours is Bullwrinkle homemade biscuits. 
                                                                                            


Pidgie the pigeon



Pidgie sat on my head!
My family has looked after a few injured or abandoned pigeons, but one of those pigeons became a special pet. We brung him home because he was thin, lost and on his own and could have easily been killed because he was sat in a car park. We kept him for about three months in a box. He slept in the box and in the day we let him fly around in about a 10 metre radius because he didn't want to go to far! After a good days exercise he went back in his box. The day we released him was sad because we would all miss him! We brung him to the same place we took him from, hoping he might remember a old ledge or place he used to sit. We haven't seen pidgie since, we hope thats because he has flown elsewhere for a new home. Here is a picture of him.

Horse riding






 As I have said, I have been riding for about
7yrs. I have been to two different riding schools,
 one I like a lot more than the other! Here are
pictures of me untacking 2 different horses at
my second stable.




At the moment I can walk, trot, canter and do small jumps (just started doing jumping lessons). I have been on lots of hacks but the best one was when we were out for an hour or more and we got to trot a lot of the way because usually they don't let you trot because there are sometimes some less experienced riders on the hack with us and we can't leave them behind!
  I have always wanted to gallop on a beach even though I can't gallop yet! I would love to ride my favourite horse at my stable, Henry because he is very fast and would make a beach trip the best ride for a long time!
