(1.5) A Visit to The Beach

 The next morning I was dismayed to discover it was still raining. Come on its suppose to be summer!

First order of business was to fix the toilet I had broken the night before for you never no when you might have to go.

Next I tended to the garden and I was quite pleased to see that the Apple Tree was ready to harvest.

Diamond was the first one to taste the fruits of my labor and she seemed to really enjoy it.

I saddled up Diamond and we headed out to go riding.

Acorn was not enjoying being left behind but I was desperately trying to finish Diamond.

Our destination this time was the beach.

Even though it was still raining I wasn't going to let that deter me from enjoying the beach.


At first I was a little hesitant about swimming in the ocean but I soon got over it and start to have fun.

All to soon it was time to head back. I felt like quite a daredevil as I rode home because I was riding an unbroke horse with out a saddle.

When we got back home Acorn was quite happy to see me.


When I was inside getting ready for the show their was a thunder strike that scared Acorn half to death. I guess he was thinking it would start a fire.


I ran outside and manged to calm Acorn down before he hurt himself.

I came so close to having a perfect day mounting and dismount that was until we got home from the show.  It looks quite painful doesn't it?

Acorn once again won and my trophy table was slowly expanding. As I went to bed that night I contemplated entering Acorn in the Intermediate Racing Class.
