I'm still alive, hurrah!!

Hi everyone! Here is another fascinating update *everyone groans*.

 Had a super duper day! Got in touch with my cowboy self and did some cattle herding - great fun! Quickly cantering to different spots to gather the herd and going through some really tough terrain and bush to get to some stray cattle.
I suppose I should probably introduce to my horse (or pony?). Ziggy is a 5 year old Arab mare. My guessing is she's about 15/15.1hh, which is why I look so big on her! She's incredibly well behaved for her age, she's a little clumsy sometimes but she's still young and finding her feet (excuse the pun). Judy has asked if I could school her and another horse which I'm looking forward to.

I had a bit of a bad start though today (Mum please don't panic). I felt fine when I woke up had an apple and some water before I got going. About 2 minutes into the ride I jumped off the horse and was sick! Judy asked if I wanted to go home but I said "No!!" I was so looking forward to today and once you've got whatever out of you you feel much better! I was fine for the rest of the day so not sure what was wrong, maybe a bit of sun stroke? Yes Mum and Dad I'm putting lots of sunscreen on, drinking water, hat, sunglasses, you name it, I'm doing it! We were out for a long time 6.30am till 11am - so very tired!!

The final part of the day was to research the rhinos and what they most enjoyed eating which ended up being Red Star Apple and Buffalo Thorn. After which we walked them home to bed.

Hope you're all well at home. Lots of love :)
