EXAMS ARE OVER | Freedom

Helllllooooo,

So a while back I posted about exams and how I was unable to blog very much, but I have now finally finished them!! *hooooorrrraaaayyyy*

I had 15 exams in a period of two months so it was very intense but at least it's over now, just got to pray that my grades are good enough for where I want to go to sixth form!

I'm hoping to study Maths, Psychology, English lang and Geography at As/A2, so I guess next year will be pretty intense too.

For the duration of summer I am doing all sorts of things, these include:

  • May Ball
  • Trip to Isle of Wight (with friends)
  • Skulling course
  • Horse Riding clinic
  • Holiday to Turkey (with family)
  • Seeing Rihanna 
  • Scope championship (Horse Riding)
So i'm sure its going to be packed full of great things and I won't get too bored. 

I am going to try and start/ take part in the 30 day snap challenge, starting from tomorrow, so look forward to seeing new posts everyday :)

I Qualified for HOYS 2013

HOYS= Horse Of The Year Show 

I went to Pyecombe, which is near Brighton in England, ready for the newcomer second rounds.
It is a three round competition that starts at 1.10m, My pony Hacker Jack (Jack) and I jumped clear around the first course and so had to jump the second round, this went up to about 1.15/1.20m and again he flew around this course, jumping everything with about a mile to spare, so we found ourselves into the third round, which was about 1.25m (a jump off for either a place at HOYS or a place at Scope). The top two people qualify for HOYS and the top 5 qualify for scope, with 19 in the jump off I had to push on if I wanted a chance to qualify.

I went in aiming for a clear, but me being competitive jumped clear over the first jumped then just went for it, I went clear and into 2nd place with three riders left to go.

The next pony in went into the lead so I lost my qualifying position, feeling pretty gutted about coming 3rd I went into the ring for prize presentation to be told to girl who won had already qualified, so the qualification was passed down to me.

I now cannot wait for october to compete at hoys!! it was a brilliant day.
