Horse race

Hooves pounding
Manes flying
Tales streaming behind
Necks matted with sweat

Hooves pounding in the fresh earth
Tearing up the dirt flinging it behind them
Neck and neck they gallop
Legs churning
Straining every muscle

Then one noble stallion takes the lead
Crossing first to win the gold

Fall festival!

I am excited that Halloween is coming! Because I like to dress up! I am having a hard time figuring out what to dress up as. If you all have any suggestions I would like to hear them! Let me give you an example of what I like to dress up in. So I like to dress up as big poofy things! I was thinking a cupcake. And last year I dressed up as a pumpkin! So please let me know if you have any suggestions!

Fall!

Hello everyone!

 I am so excited that fall is finally here!  I love fall because, the weather gets cooler and the leaves on the trees turn orange and yellow and red! And I feel like its a new start a new season, that will give birth too many new things! So happy fall!

Fall

Fall has come so we will cheer,
The time of  a new season is here!
We will jump and shout for joy,
Fall is near fall is here!
You can smell the crisp cool air,
And see the trees,
With their golden, orange and yellow leaves!
Laughing children and crunching leaves and
Crisp cool air!
Pumpkin spice and all that's nice!

Fall has come so we will cheer!
Fall is near, fall is here!
So we will shout and we will cheer!

Hello everyone! Today I went riding! And I rode a black horse named moon, her name is moon because she is big and round! Moon is an English horse, meaning she has been trained in the English style, of riding. When I rode moon, I trotted and cantered, with the saddle! That would be very bumpy without it! A trot is basically a jog for a horse. Her trot was super smooth! Almost like you are floating! Then a canter is a run for a horse. Afterwards, I rode a horse named Ellie May she is a Western horse. And I rode her bareback! That was fun!

Hello everyone, I'm Isabella!

I love horses, and I go riding once a week on Friday. Currently I ride bareback, which means I ride horses without the saddle, but I used to ride English. English is a style of horseback ridding, let me give you an example! In English riding you do dressage, dressage is basically when you are giving the horse certain commands, that when followed through makes the horse look like it's dancing! Then there is jumping! Jumping is when, you jump over horizontal poles held up by vertical poles that keep them in place. Then there is flat work! Flat work is when, you are working on a basic walk, trot, or canter. In flat work there could be poles that are lying on the ground that you go over as well. There are many different ways of riding, and I hope you have the opportunity to ride someday!
