camp was...
fun? hot? blazing? smelly?
hahah. but overall it was quite meaningful i suppose, nways now i think i have sunburns. on my leg n right shoulder blade ... at least i think they're sunburns... manda sez i'm too dark n tan to get sunburns lol. oh and on that subject, i'm like... darker :( i'm gna start looking indian soon! and i got SLEEVE MARKS!!! just when i though i got rid of those accumulated at rl!!
after i got back, arranged with jun to go 2 btsc... like 2 hrs b4 haha. so went down n walked ard 4 a bit then found sue n sandra fitting chuckie wth saddles. so apparently sunshine is getting chuck's old one? or smt like that. i dno how it turned out. then sandra got us to put gold ridge's saddle together. i never realised a saddle was soo light! so it's basically heavy cuz of d iron stirrups. nhow i wrote his name a new girth in attached it ( i did it nicely cuz i noe chun would probably kill me if i wasn't done nice ;) )then me n jun out new rubber bases on a pair of stirrups. it's soo hard!! plus i nearly stabbed myself with d hoofpick i was using haha.
after, we help with sandra's walk-trot class. they had penny, patch, sonny, bilco, songkla and oj. d riders were this family. d mom rode bilco, d dad rode sos, d oldest girl rode oj, d younger girl rode sonny, n their brother rode patch. this REALLY cute girl, petra, was on penny. she was having a trial lesson 4 new members ( ENVY!!) so jun lead patch, sandra did bilco, n i got penny. she couldn't trot very well so i taught her to rise to d mon-day tues-day method which sue taught us like EONS ago. and it worked!! lol so poor tired ole me ( all pooped from camp) had to run beside her in d sandstorm within d arena and pant out "mon-day, tues-day" etc in time with penny's strides, keep penny slow, and run at d same time lol. i'm so good at multitasking :D haha
so anyway, d family was having a back to back lesson; riding 4 1 1/2 hrs STRAIGHT! so halfway i had to bring petra and penny down and this lady came up on glory. then had a quick drink then went up again and took over 4 jun while she had a drink then we both helped out untill d lesson ended.
after, jun washed patch then we went uo to c sue's jumping lesson with tirtha, tosca and tanis. lol it was kinda funny cuz all their names start with Ts and sue got them a bit mixed up.sandra was there helping with d jumps so me n jun helped her a bit then sat down on one of d jumps and talked abt d new horses!! so apparently, we got 3 horses coming down from denmark. one is a mare who used to b a police mount. one is a lil pony called PIANO!!! so cute yes?? nways he's abt bobby-sonny size. then there this GIANT, BIGG bay abt ammaretto size. i think they're gna put him in chuck's old stall. there's like no where else big enough. so nways they're still in denmark waiting 4 d vet check. then after, they're gna b flown down n quarantined at kranji. i DO hope they'll get use to d weather here... :S i'm kinda worried...
