My Special Place

My special place is not on the ground
My special place moves about freely
My special place can jump
My special place is big-ish
My special place is with a friend
My special place has emotions
My special place is on a horses back

Crazy Horse

He rears up like a stallion
He is vicious, he is ferocious and he is determined
Running, galloping, the horse is catching up
What is the meaning of this? Why is he like this?
His paddock is gruesomely green and muddy
Mud, grass and hoof prints line the paddock
Love is a battlefield, much like this one I should think
Quickly I shut the gate behind me so he can't get out
Bang! He smashes against the gate trying to escape 
Rushing around the paddock
He is galloping like a madman
The gate groans with the weight of him pushing it
Chance! He stops at the call of his name
Again, again and again I call his name
He is now fuzzy, fluffy and looking at me intensely 
He is a gelding called Chance

Holidays

In the holidays I rode a horse called Jimmy, my riding instructor took me down to the Springston Pony Club and we practiced cross country jumping, a dressage test and showjumping (only 30cm jumping) for the one day event on Saturday. first we practiced dressage and I was terrible at it so I definitely need more practice at that but show jumping and cross country weren't too bad.

so in conclusion I need more practice at dressage if I want to place in the ODE (one day event).
