HELLO. I am here to help revive this thing.

Wowee today was really eventful! ALL of us, save NATSY who's in GUESS WHERE!, were at the club today. That's Jun, Chun, Fei, Daph, Kath and me! And then Magic spooked while Chun was mounting and she tumbled down onto the hard concrete ground! >< Owww. That's Magic, that's HIGH up! Then Sandra tried to catch Magic but he CANTERED right onto her foot! That's GOTTA hurt man. She had to limp everywhere hahah.

So poor Chun sat out of our lesson, which happened to have 7 people in it! Because Sue was on emergency leave. The horses were all fresher than normal, and Bea who I was riding (my first time too!) was really nervous. She spooked but it was all right. Chuckie, however, was surprisingly calm today hahah.

Hope the casualties are FINE! (: And see you all very soon. :D Hohoho.

u noe i'm really getting good at smt:

FALLING!!!

i just fell AGAIN 2day!!! at my polo club lesson. on smint. lol and within 5 days of my last one. i think i'm on a falling streak. i'm cursed :S haha. i think he bolted cuz watercolours came too naer and then he took me on the LONGEST bolt of my life. and then i lost my right stirrup. and plonked on my butt :P. i'm like having all my falls clumped 2gther. 1st pip in dec. then songkla last fri then smint. lol and all in diff places haha. i just noticed that while typing.

i think i'm paying back for nt falling for... 2 yrs?? lol. remem my mood used to b like i wanna fall! and now i'm like no thank you. i like staying in d saddle if u please. so ironic.

oh and guess what. songkla like kinda gave me a early valentine's day prez. today during PE rite. i told my teacher that i fell off a horse. and she TOTALLY overeacted. she was like "OH MY GOD! Are you okay?! Can you walk properly??" lol so fun and then she gave me reduced rounds. so while everyone was panting and sweating running like 6 rounds, i got to walk 2 rounds :P haha. and to top it off. she made them do like 20 push ups. and sit ups. and i just sat there all un sweaty. and felling like some evil evil army officer :P haha

on the subject of overeacting, guess what my mum's reaction was? lol if it wasn't for d dinner that night, she would've DRAGGED my down to d'equestrian and bought me a protective jacket. and on sat she was distracted by my dad' CNY office party. THANK GOD!! or else u'd b seeing me wearing one even for flat lessons :S .

anyways, if i'm gna make a habit of falling every so often i'd better learn to fall with CLASS :D haha. anyone giving tuiton?? ;)

<3 kath

and HAPPY VALENTINES!!! :)

hello! i rode for the first time in 2 months yesterday! (: everyone in the class happened to get their favourite horses, but sandra said it was just a coincidence. haha. so.. we are on was quite good but i was quite bad - my legs are much weaker now, and wearing the bangkok boots for the first time didn't help. we did lots of sitting trot today! we are on is super BOUNCY! kathleen helped take pics, and sue said my riding didn't deteriorate that much! lol. we saw minx! i think she's for the ponyclubbers. :D i want to ride her! i remember i had such enormous trouble sitting her trot in sentosa, bumpiest trot in the world! then chun and fei came. did the feed and went to watch part of the twins, daph and frances' lesson before leaving for tuition. CHUN MUST LEARN TO STOP SMILING WHEN SHE RIDES! :P okay bye! dawnee.

2006-01-21T11:29:00.000+08:00

love, jun

2005-12-04T21:15:00.000+08:00

hiiiii. today was such a sucky day. :( had buffet for lunch, i didn't eat much but i was SO full, and just looking at food made me feel sick. Anyway, riding was pretty hot today! was on stanley and he was okay at the beginning, just that he wouldn't accept my contact and bring his nose down, no matter how soft i was in my hands! (except in walk, but his walk's easy so no biggie..) i feel sad. will someone tell me why he's so tensed up?

then then THEN. near the end of the lesson in trot, he bucked horrifically, even worse than bilco bucks, and i flew off! at first, we suspected it was my whip that accidentally caused him to buck, but upon reflection, i guess it was because i used too much leg on him. and i am really pissed at myself. because i KNOW FULL WELL that i cannot use that much leg on such a high strung and sensitive horse like STANLEY! yet i still did. and URGH you have NO IDEA how much i totally despise myself for that stupid mistake! :@

sigh, anyways, i really want to thank god for my gpa. i think i hit my head when i fell again, because it hurt a little. >< in appreciation of my helmet, i've changed my msn display pic to one that includes it, so everyone go pay respects to it! =D hehe gosh, it sounds like it died or something. but STILL, i am extremely pissed at myself! i don't know how to get it off my chest! :\ even sandra's "heigh ho" failed to make me laugh, and that's saying something - remember bangkok, guys? okay, sorry for ranting so much. i know this is a superbly angsty post, so thanks for listening. *hug. :((
-lovdawne.

PS congratulations to riders lodge competition winners.. and good luck to the upcoming btsc comp participants.

< this is crazy. they're putting all the horses down ! what i happening ? i mean, i know its good to stop suffering but why not at least try to do it without resorting to death ? its not like we cant raise funds or anything like that..we can help ! the putting down of horses is like so upsetting. i felt so cold when i walked past duck's stall that day. the late dynamite duck /: and worse, patch is in it now ! i cant visit her without recalling bad memories /: sighhhhhh, why ?

2005-09-16T20:37:00.000+08:00

RIP Duck and Locomotion! :((( Loco was a really nice ride, other than the worsening arthritis he had - and then the mud fever. :( Duck? I was fortunate to ride him ONCE before his death. Restinpeace, both were marvellous school horses.
lovedawn.

2005-09-16T18:59:00.000+08:00

Hey everyone......... it's really sad to hear of their departing........ i jus hope they went peacefully........ i know duck could be such a pain sometimes....... but he still showed me that despite his age he could still canter fast over poles !! it's soo sad........ I jus wish i appreaciated him more, but at least i got to enjoy him. At least he had a nice life on earth.
RIP Duck

2005-09-16T15:58:00.000+08:00

luv kath

2005-09-05T00:57:00.000+08:00

OOOPS haha Nat! i meant.. hm.. what DO your toes do, not what SHOULD your toes do! >< lol. never mind! your explanation wasn't in vain cos you would've clarified any lost soul's doubts! yay :D anyway, i'm here to advertise the NEW look!

The 'Straight-Forelock Cut' look, which was modelled after Willy Wonka's fringe in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, is the latest fashion for equines this ~~summer~~ monsoon. It seems that Johnny Depp is always starting quirky fashion trends - even horses look good modelling them! The model featured in the above photograph is WeAreOn, and the talented hairstylist is his syce. Other syces are currently under intense training, in order to efficiently bring to you the latest fashion trends in the equine hairstyling arena!

lovedawn.

2005-09-05T00:41:00.000+08:00

hello guys.

this is the first time i've ever posted here! :D
anyway, corresponding to dawn's post, i think your toes should be pointing towards the horses nose, and they should be parellel to the ground. or slightly above your heel. hmmmm. is that it?

oh and some tips on getting your canter. you have to fix your lower leg in one position, and let the horse feel that its there, when you want the horse to canter, just make it really obvious when you shift your legs. the just apply a little pressure and they would canter.cos if you jingle your legs about, that gives your horse a million and one signals, so when you ask for a canter, the horse is confused because there are so many signals and he/she doesn't know which one to follow. it works! haha. try it. anyway, gtg now. bye!

ciao,
nat

2005-09-02T19:17:00.000+08:00

Ok caro here !!! i;m finally part of a blog............ sooo happy
Rode duck on sunday......... got told that i would be ass-whipped if i hit duck ( gezz am i that bad ? ) So he took advantage of me........ Didn;t want to follow the rest when we were supposed to be trotting nicely in a circle. So i let him have his way because he is 28 yrs old. He listened to me when we cantered though.......... it was the only saving grace ! He is nice during a jumping/ canter poles lesson, read my other post on my blog. Ok anyone free on 1 sep ? wanna go out ??

Um...hi :)
