Hi from Hannah and Maisy!

Maisy and I had a great but very, very busy summer holidays.

It started with a PC gymkhana day with our Horse Behaviour Achievement Badge. We learnt how to tell how our ponies look like when they are cross, happy, cold or excited. We also played loads of games which was ace.

I had a new pony to take to camp, which I have on loan. She is a New Forest Pony called Galaxy, 13.1hh and 10 years old.

She was fab at camp and won the most improved rider/pony combination trophy!

Galaxy and I then went to the New Forest to stay with my friend Libby. We rode out all over the Forest and we joined in a New Forest PC rally. Libby's Grandad took me sailing, which I'd never done before so was especially exciting.

There was another gymkhana in the last week of the holidays and we had a police lady come and teach us how to keep our ponies and tack safe. I learnt loads.

I've now got loads of work to do with Galaxy and Maisy over the next few weeks because we have the Pony Club National Endurance Championships and The Lions Tail PC Team Challenge coming up. I will have to ride every day now, trotting up to an hour and a half to make sure both ponies are fit enough for their classes. Maisy will be doing 33km and Galaxy 20km.
