D Birthday Surprise :D:D:D
It somehow happened 2 b on d same day as d BBQ (was it a coincidence u guys?? ) lol really really really NICE SURPRISE!! In d morning only dawn and caro wished my happy birthday and i thot d rest had 4gotten. then they were whspering abt it all thorugh dinner and BLUR me didn't even suspect or notice a thing. then they all PURPOSELY pretended to like playing outside d clubhouse (where we had dinner) and being eaten alive by d mosquitoes. Played horse and rider outside in d carpark 4 a while. Nat, Chun and YiJun were d horses and Caro was nat's rider, Jun was Chun's and I was yijun's. Dawn was sandra (long hair) and fei was sue (short hair) haha. we all had a BLAST playing. Of course d horses all bolted and us riders fell alot. haha i fell a record no of THREE TIMES!!! haha my 1st fall off a horse :D Dawn kept trying to make them slow down by doing sandra's "heyyy-ho" sound which made it soo funny haha. Fei even had 2 "school"... er... nat i think it was juz HILARIOUS. d "instructors" also tried to lunge nat but she tangled up d lunge line on d carpark pillar haha. Yijun even took jun on a jumping lesson over pretend jumps which were HUGE!!! haha then they dragged me in and i saw d BIGG cake!! surrounded by all d dry ice and all!!! Lol I WAS SOO SHOCKED!!! d cake was a swensens ice cream cake (which i had a hard time cutting haha) then they even presented me w/ a PRESENT!!! a horse statuette (which is now on my shelf) and Horse mug ( which now holds my morning milo or tea )
THANKS YOU GUYS!!!!!! IT WAS D BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!!!
oh and after d song mr edmund came over and said in his accent: "2morrow u have a free lesson. with ME" and he gave this scary grin!! lol and i nearly died of a heart attack then cuz i thought he was seroius!!! hahaha
Horses/ponies rode:
Good Luck:
HUUGE chestnut gelding who likes anyone who gives him sugar cudes carrots or apples. was once an excellent dressage horse but had a leg injury and is recovering. walk and trot is VERY VERY VERY smooth!!!! He's stiff in corners, turns and circles cuz his right leg was hurt. gotta use alotta left leg to get him out onto d track. canter is very STIFF. esp on d right rein
Georgie:
liver chestnut pony-mare who followed me around <3!! during my 1st lesson on her, she behaved like patch 4 d 1st 5 mins so i borrowed kyra's whip and tapped her. she was all right after that. walk and trot is quite nice. trot gets a tad fast smt so u have to bergarde haha. canter is VERY VERY fast!!! and SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE!!! d 1st time i cantered her kyra was like "okay u guys. turn into d centre and let's let kathleen and her little rocket have d 1st canter" !!!! she basically bolts whenever u give d canter aid. Maree said d speed was ok but d others all said we were going racehorse fast!! haha.
Feliciano:
(Pronouced fee-LEE- si- ah-no)
Very nice chestnut gelding. abt 18~19 hh. even bigger than GoodLuck. Likes to stick his tougue out of his mouth when someone is riding him. it looks VERY VERY CUTTEEE!! ( but unfortunately is classified as a bad habit in d dressage arena :( ) Like 2 go near d fence and ends up scratching ur boots and jophurs on d fence line. HE GOT A HOLE IN MY JOPHURS DOING THAT!!! and it was my FAV FAV FAV pair toooo :( moans. gaits are very very smooth like GoodLuck's. canter is EXCELLNT!!! BIT MY THUMB!!!! it's blue-blacked now :( .
Joker:
Gray pony- STALLION!! however he's not a Stallion-stallion type but more of an OLD COOT of a stallion. EXTREMELY EXTREMELY LAZY. dno how kyra rides him 4 elementry dressage test. Needs alot of seat and leg and whip to get him going... but he has nice eyes!! haha and is terribly photogenic. gets really grumpy when approached. Walk and trot are very slow but can get nice. canter is very smooth!!! but slow. feels VERY VERY nice in 2-pt position aka jumping position.
Only You:
Dark chestnut Mare. also a showjumper. needs a little thwack here and there but otherwise ok. Very hard to get on d bit. not nice w/ side reins cuz she pulls down on ur hands which is terribly irritating. Very hard to get into canter from trot. Bucks when whipped juz b4 going into canter. Canter is very smooth!!
KumRai:
EXTREMELY SMALL Chestnut pony w/ 4 white socks which makes him look kinda pinto-ish. rode him 4 jumping. anticipates jumps and seems to walk trot and canter v fast but it's actually okay (cuz of his length of leg u c) does not work well with short reins. not easy to halt from trot. also anticipates canter alot. all one has to do is do sitting trot and he zooms off into canter. u dun even have to give d canter aid. canter may seem a bit fast but it's quite ok. EXTREMELY EXTREMELY SMOOOTH!!! FANTASTIC JUMPER!!! :D:D:D
however tends to refuse d jump somtimes and runs out on d left.
lol okay i think this is a long enough entry... haha ok byeeee
