Well its been a bit of a while, but I haven’t really had much to say, and I figured its better to say nothing than something really dull. So I passed my driving test (finally!) with 5 minor faults, which sits about middle with my 3 attempts, so I’ve been enjoying zooming around in my little Clio (called Alfie) but my parents have now decided that it shouldn’t change my lifestyle, being able to drive, so my car time looks to be limited. Damn - I guess I wont be driving to school every other day then.

Yesterday I went to the Poplar Park Horse Trials, which was great fun and we got to ’spot the celebrity rider’ with Oliver Townsend making his appearance in a horse box the size of a small bungalow. We also walked around the cross country course (which you can do whilst riders are riding it) which was truly inspirational. The horses are usually at top speed and they’re jumping fences 3 - 4 foot either tall or with that as a drop on the other side. The actual horses themselves were all stunning and its amazing how fit they have to be. I never really thought about it but they really do have to be top class beasts, even for the novice and pre- novice tests. I can’t even begin to imagine the actual value of horse there was there as a total…its in the hundreds of thousands at least.

So this is Kat signing off totally inspired.
