Revesby Festival and my first fall!

Elise's Birthday Party

This is a bit of a catch-up since I haven't posted for a few months. Lots has happened including moving to a new house in the country, sitting exams (piano, ICT and Pony Club) and making new friends.
We have visited the summer shows in and around Lincoln but the weather has not been good.
After the muddy disaster that was Heckington Show (it was so muddy we didn't even get past the ticket gate!), mom, dad and I were reluctant to go to another country show.
Thankfully, the weather cleared up, so on Sunday we went to check out Revesby Country Show. It was more like a dog show than a normal festival as there were dog-themed events going on everywhere! They had dog racing, dog shops and even an army cross country course just for dogs!

There were also lots of horse competitions. We stopped to watch one of them and judge all of the horses. My favourite was the Gypsy Cob with it's beautiful main and tail reaching down to the ground.
Revesby was a lot of fun so we'll definitely be going next year as long as it doesn't pour with rain!

The Lincolnshire Show.
It's raining!

Glad I brought my umbrella

I'm pretty famous at Pony Club for being one of the only people there that has never fallen off a horse. Unfortunately, I lost that title on Monday! There were harvest flies everywhere and they were constantly bugging the horses. I was quite happily trotting along when all of a sudden the horse put his head right down to scratch his leg and I went straight over the top of his head! It was a bit like going down a slide since it didn't hurt much. It was actually quite fun!

Ready for Pony Exams!

Snake!!

After we finished riding, my instructor, Lora, got out her pet corn snake. Normally I'm quite nervous around snakes, but this one had such a cute face that I couldn't help myself from holding it and letting it slither all around my arms! Maybe my next pet will be a snake?

We have moved to a new house in a lovely village with a ford at the bottom of our road. Maisie loves her dog walks!
