DID YOU KNOW!!!

My Horse

In the holidays I got a horse !!! Her name is April . When we got her, her name was April then my granddad started to call her Tubby.

The first time I rode her it was a bit scary because when I tried to stop her she started  trotting and when I tried to walk  her to the fence she would start trotting to the fence. I think she was very excited about someone ridding her.

After that, the next weekend I rode her, she was a lot more calm . When we were putting her back in the paddock she would not go through the gate, I said to mum I can do it? So I tried to put her through the gate she but would not go! Mum got really angry so she pushed her through the gate and then she ran away!!!

Now she is very good !!!

Hunting

On the 3rd of march, our family went to Waianae. It is a hunting place, we went there last year too, we got two deer .  One was a hind and the other was a fawn. This year we got a baby pig and one stag. It was pretty cool to get a pig it was my dads first pig. We stayed there for four nights,  that was my best hunting trip ever!!!

Netball

It was a hared game, the score was7/2 to them, but it is only Twilight netball  so it not all about winning. Next week we are going to play All saints.

Parakino Sports

On Saturday the 1st of March, Parakino sports was on, if you don't on what it is, it is a place where every year people  come and ride their horses. Every year I go, I go because my grandad helps run the place and this year was the 86th year they have had it. Instead of riding all day we have some games for kids. One of the games we have are hoops, that is when there is bags of lollies and you get a hoop and try  throw it on  the bag of lollies. I love going to Parakino sports every year. 

Pet day

On Friday the 15th of November, at Fordell School, we had AG day. I bought in a lamb to AG day, her name is Lama, we got Lama from my dad's rugby coach Red. When we were going down the driveway the trailer door open and Lama jumped out and when dad, Georgie, Charlie went to get her she ran away, but when I got out of the car Lama came to me. When we got to school I was the first person to get to there, when dad left I went out to the field, I led Lama around and  I couldn't  believe that lama was walking beside me, because I had never led her before it was so exciting! When it was time for the show I was scared and I  think Lama was too.
We did not win anything but it was still fun! In the afternoon I had young framers, I was in the final, I was so nervous.I was facing Lauren and Rose, I thought I was going to lose. Since I all ready new what to do I WON!!! Yay!

When it was Prize giving I got 3rd  in Young Farmers!!!
I can't wait till next years Pet Day!
