When I ride I feel that
-
I don't have to worry about anything and that
-
Bobby will take care of me when I'm riding him and that
-
it's absolutely fine.
-
I feel really relaxed and happy.
-
The name of my horse is Bobby Dassler.
-
He's really, really cheeky,
-
but also really funny when he's being cheeky
-
and that he's sensible when he has to be.
-
And it's not that I'm teaching him what to do,
-
he's teaching me what to do.
-
If I had to describe my pony in 1 word
-
it would be indescribable.
-
I go horse riding 3 times in the week
-
when it's school, but in the summer holidays
-
I try to go every single day.
-
I groom him, I fill up his water,
-
I muck out his stable,
-
I do everything that you have to do
-
to take care of a horse.
-
The age that I started horse riding
-
was about 2 years old,
-
but I didn't do like proper horse riding,
-
mummy just sat me on a Shetland pony and
-
it just took me for a walk around.
-
I've fallen off Bobby three times,
-
I felt a bit nervous at the time,
-
but after, uhm, after a couple of days
-
I knew that it was fine, so I just got back on
-
and I, I was a bit nervous but not that much.
-
My favourite memory is
-
when I had a water bottle and I put it at the top,
-
at the top of his mouth and, and
-
and then he, and then I squirted it
-
and he made funny faces.
-
I'd really like to do some shows in the future,
-
because I quite like competing and
-
with Bobby's previous owner
-
he was in Show Pony of the Year
-
and I really want to compete 'cause I like competing.
-
I absolutely love horses.
-
I love about horses that if you've had a really hard day,
-
when you go with'em
-
you don't remember all the things
-
that you've had a hard day about.
-
You just be with them and you forget all about it
-
and that's really nice.
