Marsterton show
On Friday night my mum, sister, other sister, our dog and our three horses me went to Masterton show. We went over the Rimataka hill witch was really steep and windy. We stopped at subway and got dinner then carried on it took us about two and a half hours to get there. When we got there we got the horses out and set up there yards, got ready for bed then went to bed.
When I woke up at six the next morning I got dressed, did my hair then feed the horses. When I got back to the truck I had a up and go. About an hour later I started getting my pony ready, got changed then got on and started walking to my ring.
When I got there I saw some people I know doing a practice round witch I didn't do because my horse was already doing a lot and he didn't need to do one. I then warmed up and herd my name called, went to the gate and did my intro round witch is seventy centermeters this was my practise round even though it was a round but It wasn't qualifying for horse of the year/ nationals. I was doing show hunter witch is judged on style and rythem. I did a good round and came second in the class.
When I had got my ribbon I did my second round this was now eighty this was the high points round. Another good round coming third now I have more points !! I wait for my next tern then go in again. I do a good round and come second in the championship round. I get fifth in my next round I cant remember what is was called.
The big ponies witch my sister is in then do a round. The next class is equitation you can be from each category to do this. I do my round I start with a double witch sadly we had a stop at but once I cycles and did it again I did a really nice round sadly I had that stop and got points of my score so I didn't place in that class I would have got second to if I didn't have a stop.
I go back to the truck un tack my horse,put him away then hang out with my friends. When I got back their were dogs everywhere!! There were even a few in our horse truck there was a really cute black and white one called Molly that belonged to the people that were parked next to us.
Then we found our cousin Libby she was riding to. We watched some kids do like a show thing and ate dinner then we turned around and found there was a dog eating off our barbecue. A bit later I went to bed.
The next day I woke up got ready then rode again instead today I was doing some showjumping. I walked my course then rode my horse loved it this was more fun!!! We zoomed around clear then got a ribbon. My sister did some rounds then we packed up and went home.
It was a long drive when we got home we did animals then un packed the truck and I went to bed !!!!!!!!!!! I only need two more points until I'm qualified YAY.

folk dance
At the moment in my class we're learning a dance for a fancy dress. The whole school is doing a dance for each class. Room four my class is doing a folk dance.
It's a partner dance you line up opposite to your partner and cling arms skipping in a circle than one person does the same with the line of people after each person coming back to do it with you partner. Once that person is done with that line the other person goes down the other line.Then they go at the same time down different lines then meet at the end of the line.The other people then do the same thing weaving up and down the lines.
This dance is really fun and I have enjoyed doing it !!!!!!!
