Riding joy

What a fab day Poppy's had! School started with the usual get-together activities and then it was time to discover new techniques in crafts: felted wool and how to shape it into objects; then a gym lesson in the brand new sports' hall (fantastic apparently) and then... a riding lesson, a couple of miles from the Royal Palace, oh yeah.

Poppy had not been riding for over a year and we did not know how she would resume this activity - new instructors, new place, different horses.

But it went incredibly well! The weather was wonderful, warm, sunny and the riding school welcomed Poppy so nicely. She had a fab' session, was smiling from beginning to end, wanted to brush the horse and clean his shoes afterwards, it was so amazing! She was so in control, seemed so happy and proud.

It's going to be a great riding term!
