Okay. So. Saturday.
Mum woke me up early so we could go shopping in Epsom, because I needed a new riding hat, and a new coat. I got a NAICE new hat, seriously, I love it. <33
Okay, so it probably looks like a shit to you guys. But compared to my old hat, it's LOVE. I had to try on about 100 hats in the shop, and apparently, I have an odd shaped head. Faaaantastic.
I wanted to wear it in my lesson, but the woman in the shop, was like, "You have to wear it around your house for two hours, incase a but of your skull sticks out." So yeah.
So then Mum drove me to the yard, and it was all rainy and disgusting, and when we drove past the jumping school, where we were meant to have our lesson, the ground was absolutely freakin' FLOODED. It was like there were small rivers everywhere. Neither me, my friend Alex or the horses were thankful for these conditions, so we had a jumping lesson in the rain. Every time we cantered through a puddle, I got a mouthful of mud, it was disgusting. But still.
A friend filmed us, and to look at our flooded riding school, lookies at the video that Alex made: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UaaJdLO8ry8
I rode Buddy, who was an absolute STAR. The cold and the wet didn't seem to phase him at all, he was amazing. We galloped through puddles, and we had a few little mistakes, but they were my fault completely.
He jumped his little heart out, and at times, it felt like we were literally FLYING over those jumps. Seriously. I had a couple of times where I nearly fell off, but I REALLY, like REALLY didn't want to fall in to the massive puddles, and I think that kept me on. But it was a close one.
I'd never ridden Buddy in the jumping school before, and I was a little nervous, because he can get quite strong in the NORMAL school. But he was okay. A couple of times, he got a little strong, and the reins were so wet I could barely stop him. But it was all fine in the end. I really must get myself some gloves though. To stop my hands from going rigid with cold, like they did yesterday, and especially now, as it's getting colder.
Hmmm... well, it was a wet lesson to say the least. But it was good fun. Seriously. :) Despite the fact we were galloping through puddles, that resembled the sea. Ahhh riding in the Winter. It's good fun. Sort of.
Anyway, after the lesson, I gave Buddy a good groom, and rugged him up, and then went away to put his tack back in the tack room. Then I went back to say goodbye, and he nickered when he saw me. He's soooo sweet. ^.^
Then, evening came, and I babysat again. It was alright, and I ate a packet of Hula Hoops, and drank a glass of Apple & Pear Squash, a glass of orange squash, and a glass of Lemon and Lime squash. They have a lot of different juices in their house. Hmmm... THEN I watched Strictly Come Dancing final, X- Factor Final, Outnumbered and Family Guy, and when the theme tune came on, I was like, 'WOO MITCH HAS SUNG THIS.' *ahem*
And I was watching some thing, and then JAMES SUTTON popped up, and I had a fan girling moment, and the elder of the two girls was like, 'He's in Hollyoaks,' and I was like, 'Yes... yes he is...'
And then they went to bedddddd.
Hmmm.
When I was watching TV an advert came on, and it had the song, 'A-Punk' by Vampire Weekend, and I couldn't stop laughing. It brought back memories. Lolll.
Also, you can see my Mitch Wall in that. XD
ALSO. JAMES AND EMMIE I HATE YOU. The younger of the two girls came downstairs, and started eating a banana, and thanks to you two, I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING. Merghh. Anyway. Must go get ready for Britannia High nao.
BYEBYEBYE X
