Sports - When I went Horse Riding

Sports - when I went horse riding

One day my dad came and picked me up from school and we went to a horse riding school. I don't go there to do lessons but we went there to have a ride. My horses name was Prince my dad's horses name was Tulip it was funny. We got on our horses and went for a beautiful ride in a meadow. We started to walk and then we trotted and then we canter it is a sort of run. It was very fun we brushed our horses when we got back to the stables. We gave the horses sugar cubes they are very good for the horses energy. After we fed our horses we went to the jumping coarse and did jumps. My dad didn’t jump any but I did I was brave. I don’t have any pictures of my riding Prince but I have some off the internet that look like me.



Here is a horse that is pretending to be like me:

Pegasus the Winged Horse

Pegasus the Winged Horse

Long ago in the faraway land of Lycea in Asia there lived a fierce monster called the Chimer. It breathed fire and smoke from its huge nostrils and devoured anyone who dared to come near it - sheep, cattle, men, women, children and even wild beasts. People were afraid to come out of their homes and their King Isobates could neither eat nor rest for worrying how to rid his land of the evil monster. For what mam would be so brave as to undertake so dread a task? The monster had no fewer then three heads, a goat, a loin's and a serpent's, and from its three heads there gushed fourth tongues of flame that burnt the countryside and spread destruction for and wide. The Chimera's body was like that of a dragon and its tail like that of a boa
constrictor.

At that time a brave and noble young knight, Bellrophon by the name, chanced to visiting the King of that land. It was Bellrophon's fondest dream to do some brave and valiant deed, so when the King proposed that he should go out and test his strength against the Chimera he was only too eager to prepare himself for this mighty task.

My holiday

On Monday my Gran and Pop came and picked us up at 8:30 in the morning!!!! We had to go to pick up Min Huik’s our exchange student’s parents from the airport. Their plane was delayed because it was really foggy that day. So we waited for half an hour but the plane was still delayed. We didn’t want to stay at the airport until they came so we decided to go to the National Museum of Australia to see what we can tell Min Huik’s parents.



When we got a call from his parents we went back to the airport. When his mother first saw me she started to squeeze me and I just giggled, she looked confused it was funny. We went to the National Museum of Australia and we spent an hour there and then we went to New Parliament House to have lunch.



My Pop works there so we can go places that other people cannot go. After we had lunch my Pop gave me, my brother, my other brother, my Gran, Min Huik and his parents a tour around New Parliament House. We left at about 3:00 because Min Huik was going to get an electric violin and an amp and an affix petal.



We got home and got our bags because we were going to the farm, not Min Huik, he was going to Sydney with his parents. It was a one hour ride from here up to Michelago. We got to the farm at about 5:00pm we all unpacked our bags into our rooms. I was in my Old Pops room. He was really special to me but he is dead and I still miss him.



The next week we went to the coast, it was so fun. It was a three hour drive. We got there at 6:00pm. The first thing that we did was look around our cabin and unpacked our luggage. After that we went to the beach. My dad said he could see Jupiter. I saw two shooting stars, it was really magical.



In the middle of the night I was having a bad night I was really sick so my mum made me sleep on the lounge in the lounge room which it is outside all of the bedrooms but I got a good night sleep after that.



The next morning I woke up at 6:00am and I thought it was 8. So for the next hour I just played my DS. It was then seven’ o clock and I woke up my brother. I told him come and watch T.V with me. My brother, mum and I went to the pool which was right next to our cabin so it was really fast to get there. When we got in the pool it was SO warm my mum liked it. (She is not a big fan of water.) When we got back to our cabin it was 11am and my brother and dad were still asleep. My other brother and I woke them up by a drag of the chair. It sounded so bad.



When the boys woke up we had breakfast. I had a hot chocolate because I had had breakfast before we went to the pool. We all watched T.V for an hour and then we went to the pool again. My dad threw me across the water. It sort of hurt on my back and my stomach. The pool looks so pretty because the sun is reflecting on to the water. It looks like there is lighting in the water it was very cool.



That day we went to the beach and just put our feet in but my brother pushed me in the water and I was wearing jeans which got so wet and heavy I could barely walk back to our cabin. When we got back to our cabin I had a hot chocolate to warm me up because I went in the sea. My brother just laughed at me and I growled. He ran away after I growled at him.



We went for a walk to see around the park that we stayed in because it has been four years since we have been there. There is this thing called a Jumping pillow, it is really fun. I patted a baby kangaroo which is called a Joey. We all went to the café that is there and I got a coke in a glass bottle. It actually tastes different. It tastes more sweet than the normal coke in a plastic bottle.

We only stayed there for five days but it was very fun. Another time I will tell you about the other three days.

Here are some pictures of me and my dad:
