Friday

It was a dark cold and wet Friday morning when i walked to the Christmas church at 8:15 we were let in and the ceremony began. After a few minutes I got bored and started counting the bricks on the wall we where facing. Then finally the ceremony ended and we got our report cards. My report card was the worst I ever number  got, the points that i counted was from only 10 subjects so that may explain my bad average that was about 7,3 ( I think). But I new that my home ec  grade should have been a 10. And my french was a 6 no surprise I've never got anything over 7  from French.

I  was at home about 10 o'clock and went on the computer and did some weird stuff. At on a clock Kristina sent me a text about what time am I coming to the stables. My answer was some time. hen at 14.30 I was at the stables and i was taking pictures of her horse Lena  that is a seven year old black horse. At four I went home to eat and when I came back I changed my clothes. I just wore my regular outside shoes, because  we where going bareback.

The pony I chose is called Monni and is the best after Veikko  to go bareback.....The lesson started Monni  was in a good mood and was happily walking around the arena. Then we started trotting. It was like sitting on a sofa. Monni  was also so soft from the mouth and i could keep the rain a bit loser because of him being so soft. Then we started cantering and it was just one movement in with my legs and a small touch from the rains and the canter started rolling really well. Until i forgot to remind him of continuing the canter.
The first game we  played was Land, Sea, Ship first we where only allowed to trot and i lost. Then the same game again but with canter and gallop too. I was the third last and proud of  Monni. Then it was musical chairs kind of, but we where trying to sing "Kulkuset" but know one remembered the lyrics. I fell off first, because I had to avoid other  horses so they would not get kicked. Then we had the normal mirror game while our teacher was building the next game.
Last but best game was "viesti" and first we had to zigzag from between some "tolpat", then we had to start galloping go around an pole and the jump a small fence and then give the stick to the next rider. We won one time and then we did it the other way around so first the jump and then the zigzag. There Monni was impatient he just wanted to go and when i  gave him some rain like shot like a bullet over the fence and then slowed down for the zigzag part that was good but then we had to do it the other way around  again because it was to stress full for one horse. But so we won three times all together and then for the gallop  around the arena as fast as possible....

Horses token care of then washing my boots and the bike ride home. That was my Friday and Saturday's lesson will come on Monday or Tuesday depends on how much time I have.

P.S Pictures coming later
