Hiya!

Jennie here:

Well, I went to Yarmouth last weekend and had loads of fun with my friends. The weather was pretty dull but that didn’t stop us heading to the beach.

On the way we spotted some horses pulling carriages up and down Great Yarmouth’s sea front. I snapped some piccies of them for you to see, although we didn’t take a ride cos the people in the carts looked freezing!

A very well behaved carriage horse! He didn't even need holding on to.

Yesterday, I got the opportunity to have a lesson with Marie-Ann Trevor Roper, one of the trainers who worked on the Only Fools on Horses TV show last year.

I visited Mudchute Equestrian Centre, right in the centre of London. It was amazing to find a riding school surrounded by busy roads and sky scrapers. Mary-Ann was instructing lots of journalists throughout the day to help launch this year's Petplan Equine National Riding Festival.

Look out in future issues for snaps of the gorgeous pony Pickles, who I rode. It was really good to have a lesson with an instructor other than Jane or Bev and I feel I got a lot from it.

This Sunday I’m going to a local competition in Keyso, Bedfordshire. Make sure you and your pony are looking your best at any show you go to, just in case I turn up. And of course, good luck!

Speak to you next week, I’m sure. x
