Beth rode a mix of Clydesdale,welsh moutain pony,Arab and some stuff that they don't know .Pearl was the name of Beth's horse,she was a deep liver chestnut with a blaze and a half sock on her left foreleg .Greer rode a welsh mountain pony called Will , Will was a snowy white gray .
The first activity that they did was to watch the first group whilethe 3rd group did a scavenger hunt .The first group did trotting poles and an obstacle course.The obstacle course was they had to go around a barrel then through the trotting poles then a smaller set of trotting poles ,after they finished the two sets of trotting poles they go around or in between to barrels , then raced to a square and put there hands on their heads for four seconds then race to make the fastest time .

For the Birds
It was a nice sunny day at the farm when a little bird flew on to the power line, then another and another. They kept on piling in on the small one that got there first. They started fighting who got the best spot .I couldn't watch this go on any longer “stop” I yelled when they all looked at me i felt so embarrassed i could blush .
When I got their attention all they did was laugh at me because I looked different to them .While they were laughing at me and imitating me i flew right in the middle of the conversation and one of the birds (that I called blue bird) stuck his beak straight into my stomach and it surprised me so much that i fell backwards and they started pecking at my feet and my claws came off one by one until the last claw when one of the birds realised that they will be swept away when he falls .But it was too late i was on the ground and there was feathers flying everywhere. They dropped like flies when they came down at first slowly then they came thick and fast .
The funny thing was when they came down they had no feathers on it was hilarious I could not stop laughing .
That's my story of how some bullies get bit in the butt.

The magic tack
One day I was cantering through the forest on my black horse Midnight he was a Grand Prize show jumper and was really fast. Oh ,I forgot to intaduch myself my name is Crystal I am turning 15 tomorrow and I am getting some new tack it's great.
The next day
The next day
Yay it's my birthday today I got my tack from my parents and I got an iPhone 6. What I didn't realise that the tack came with a horse he was a horse that they got from the wild and it looked like midnight and was in the same stall as him. My parents must of sold midnight and switched them,I learn that the hard way I got the tack onto who I thought was midnight but it was a semi wild horse who couldn't be controlled under saddle.
Any ways I was tacking up Black shadow as I called him anyway I was getting on to Black shadow and my mum came around the corner and said " I hope you enjoy your new horse sweety " she said I had no idea what she was talking about .I Was going to try do some jumping in the arena but midnight wouldn't listen to me so I thought . I was getting so frustrated with Black shadow I put my new tack on to see if he would behave on the way I asked my mum what she ment when she said enjoy your new horse. She said that she got a new horse for me as a birthday present that came with the tack.
So I went on my way and tack up Black shadow with the different tack and he was an angel so he went on to being as good as Midnight in show jumping and a bit faster, it looks like his previous owner had no idea how to own a horse.

The bridge
One day in the thick jungles there was a Mustange with his little sister and they had been thrown out of a nearby zoo with their enemy a Bengal Tiger and her little brother.
These animals found each other after a year in the wild, they meet at a water hole in India ,the Bengal Tiger said that she should get the water because she lived here in India .The Mustange said that he should get it because he found it first .No I DID , NO I DID ,NO I DID ,NO I DID AND THATS THE END OF THAT.The little Mustange and the Bengal Tiger Cub said 'why don't we just share the water hole' 'no 'said the big siblings we will fight for it .Ok then we will leave see ya said the little ones.
my speech
Did you know that 115 million animals are used every year for cosmetic testing in American laboratories. I am here to tell you about how horrible animal testing is. To do this I am going to tell you the process of animal testing, the products used and the after effects on the animals, and lastly HOW WE CAN STOP IT!
Firstly, I am going to tell you the process of animal testing, in this example I will talk about drug testing. First they come up with the idea of the product or drugs that they are going to test. Then they find the people that are going to help. Next they use computers to make the drug or product. After that they do the research that helps them test the drug on the little cells of the animals. I'm going to tell you about some of the horrible things that happen to the animals.
Ok, now it is time to tell you about the products and how the animals suffer from animal testing. Did you know that some of the injuries on animals are brain damage, poisoning and some other painful experiences. Some of the most common products that are tested on animals are make up, toothpaste, drugs, shampoo,and hair coloring. Now it's time to tell you about some of the animals that are used, the most popular are dogs, cats, horses and monkeys. For example, a study was run on dogs where they put skin lotion all over a dog’s fur and waited to see what would happen. It resulted in the dog’s skin being burned off. Can you imagine being in place of that dog? We need to stop this.
It is now time to tell you how we can stop animal testing. We should make ECO friendly products at home and not use products tested on amimals. This will help stop animal testing and will let the companiess know they should find a new way to test - don’t give them your money and your permission to keep doing animal testing. You can also buy ECO products that are not tested on animals such as kitchen care, bathroom care, fruit and veg wash, cream clenser, dish detergent, and air fresheners.
Get educated on what products are tested on animals and stay away from them. Spread the word about animal testing and get others around you to help stop it as well.

Cloudy lesson
One day there was a boy called Sora who was staying at his grandads house. His grandad had a house in the sky and his name was James.
On the last day of his holiday James showed Sora a secret, he could make clouds with a metal thingy (as Sora called it.) When Sora saw it, it was in a circular shape.James stepped up to the big metal thingy and did a big blow.The air went through the hoop and when it came out the other side it was a fluffy white cloud .
When it was Soras turn he took a big breath and "thooooo" there right in front of him there was a little cloud . It was as small as a ant compared to James's.Sora was discouraged,he took one more breath .But Sora was leaning to hard on the pole.The position of the pole bent and fell over ,when Sora stood back up he realised that he had ruined it the "look on James face will hurt me for life"Sora thought as he saw the look on James's face.
Sora felt sorry for James so he said "let's try to make different shapes"."I'll give it a shot " said James.First they made a star then they made a bunny then a heart they had great fun that day and they were never sad again .

The Catch
It was a nice sunny day and a boy was catching fish for his village by a small pond that was drying up quickly. "Huh?" the boy said as he felt his line tug. The boy sighed as he realised it was just a small fish and he needed to feed his whole village.
Just as he was about to go back to his village, he heard a soft whimper as if an animal had hurt itself. There it was again, that soft whimper filled the boy with sadness. He saw that the fox was trapped in a hunters trap, sooner or later the hunter would come and see his catch. The boy's heart filled with grief as he thought about this poor fox being skinned to be a rug. The boy put a determined look on his face but when he cut the rope to let the innocent fox free the fox bolted. The fox smelled the fish, and he dived into the bowl and snatched up the fish.
This fox was very fast and tricky to catch. It pounced on the boy once and did it again. The boy was so frustrated but the fox continue running away and wove through the trees and up mountains all the way to a gloomy and dusty field.
When the fog cleared there was a big open blue sea ,the boy looked at the sea and as the boy looked at the fox a splash came from the water! THERE WAS A BIG FISH! The boy was astonished at the amazing sight of the big fish.The boy got a stick and carved a rock into a hook. He caught fish all day long.
When it was time to go he gave one of the little fish that he had caught to the fox. When the boy was out of sight the fox sat as still as a sculpture on a rock and faded into a spirit.

Black sticks VS Japan
Before the game I went to have lunch at McDonalds to get a refill for the game. After that, but before the game I found Alexia and her dad at the game, I also found Nick who plays for my club and his sister standing with his mum - Helan she used to play for the Black sticks. They asked us if we wanted to go up to the club rooms with them. Just as we got up to the club rooms the siren went to start the game, we won the coin toss so we started with the ball. Center fowed passed to center half and center half ran to the shooting circle and passed out to the wing and tried to shoot 'SMACK!' The goalie stopped the ball like that and Japan got the ball, then we intasepted it and almost immediately they got the ball into the circle and had a shot and the ball went back and fourth for the whole game then came the penalty shot out the points that we had going in to the shot out was Black sticks - 3 and Japan - 3. Japan had their first go at the goal and just missed then we had our first go at the goal and got it! Then Japan got the ball in to the goal
and we missed, then Japan got a goal and we didn't. The final score was Black Sticks - 4 and Japan - 5 !
