I was going to write in here when we went to bed last night (I’ve got a cool little torch on my key ring) but after two lots of riding, then swimming as well, I’d run out of energy. Still, even though we were all tired, we kept bursting into giggles after lights out because Bella was whispering this story to us about a boy down her road who keeps asking her out. Georgia and Bella are brilliant fun – I’m so glad I’m sharing a room with them! This morning we had our Pony Care lecture on tack and tacking up. I knew some of it already, but it was really good to learn about all the different bits. Also, Lydia was doing the lecture and she demonstrated tacking up on Suki’s lovely yellow dun Twinkle and then she undid it all and told us to bring Charm and Sugar out too. So we practised tacking up on them in threes, which was cool ’cos I got to spend time hanging round with Charm and making a fuss of him without it seeming strange. In our lesson this morning we did flat work, and Sally explained that it will help us with our jumping.
