7/10/02 Dear Diary, Today I just left Vermont. I felt bad for 2 reasons. 1 because I left Vermont and 2 because Grace wanted to stay! Luckily she changed her mind.

Well m ... oh oh oh I forgot to tell you something. On the days of 7/9/02 and 7/8/02 I had horse riding lessons! The first riding was a little better than the second because Orion (the horse) gave a smoother ride. Besides the fact he's hard to get cantering, he nips when you get on and that he bucks other horses if they get too close (not that he buck anyone while I was riding). When I rode him I used a dressage whip, and use dressage letters. He's very good. The second ride, on the other hand, I rode Buster. I only got to canter ONCE!! And I kept doing sitting trots without stirrups. The reason I didn't jump or anything is because I rode in a regular lesson, but not to me. I'm used to a hunter jumper class. The one thing didn't like Buster, was he kept stopping. Well ... back to my first story before the lesson that my 9 ½ birthday party is coming in a precise of 3 days, 58 ½ hours.

Well ... that's today's stories.

Sincerely,
Elaine

ps I got Saddle Club
