Horse Riding

I went horse riding to the Embassy International Riding School on Sunday the 6th for 'Own A Horse Day'. It was drizzling and our car was parked in the muddy parking lot. Just when the black Honda was out of sight, my sister and I walked to the stables. 

Our teacher was there with three other children and we mounted our horses, all from the left. We were guided by the helpers to the arena and were left. Our instructor, Miss Anna was there telling us what to do. My horses name was Appache, a white stallion, whereas  my sister had a pony, Floatsy. My sister's horse was laziest and she kept running the wrong side the whole time. We did sitting and sitting and rising trot, which was the bumpiest ride. We did the changing direction game and finally the game called crocodile. We had to go between two sticks and could not step out of the line. We went into the cafe for a break, all drenched. 

We ate some popcorn and some juice and back to the stable. We got our horses and we groomed them and cleaned their hooves. Now came the stinky part where we had to clean the stables, free of poop. Disgusting. We then took out for a walk and mounted them to go for a ride in the woods opposite the Embassy. It was a forty-five minute ride and it was loads of fun. We came back tired, sat in our car and my mom put her foot on the gas and sped off.
