Good Afternoon

As we are coming close to the end of the semester I have found I am doing less at my placement, since I already have reached the 64 hours I haven't really been doing a whole lot there since I have so many other things going on in my life right now, with final assignments coming due and exams to study for.

I did however get to work a day where we competed in a costume class with the kids and their ponies. I thought it was going to be just a fun little class that the kids did, but I was very wrong. Even though it was just a costume class, everyone went all out and there were some really cool costumes. The class was separated into teams of three and the teams had to have a matching theme. Since we have so many kids we had a few different teams. We had the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe as one team. Another team dressed up as "pretty in pink". There were teams from other barns that were pretty neat too. This one team dressed up as the incredibles, and it was super hot out as it has been all summer and I felt bad for the girls because they were full body spandex outfits that looked very warm haha. The team I worked directly with dressed up as the ghost busters, I even got to spray paint green on the ponies, and I dressed up (I really just wore a hat, but it was still cool) as well. The day was incredibly fun, and my team even won the costume portion of the class which is super exciting.

Here is a picture of one of the riders, her pony smooch ( who may or may not be my favourite) and me after they got a ribbon for doing really well in the over fences portion of the class.
