Astaria-What flying feels like.

My mares name is Astaria pronounced A-sta-ri-a.
She was always frisky and always ran away from me in the paddock and always refused jumps so when mum and I toke her to Pony Club cup day we brought along our camera and I tried her over some small jumps , she jumped them perfectly. I got off her cooled her down then got back on her and done our dressage which we came 2nd in. Next I was freaking out because it was our show hunter and she had never done show hunter before. Which was bad but there was something diffrent about her today. It was like she knew what she had to do. She cleared everything in her way and we finaly learnt how to fly. Winning is nothing its the bond between a horse and a girl (For me because im a girl) that feels like flying because nothing else matters except what we feel for each other.
Here is a picture on our last jump!
That day Astaria trained me not the other way round. Now Astaria and I are New Zealands best Horse and rider! Nationaly ranked thou is again nothing compared to what Astaria and I share together.

Astaria is an TB :) and is 15.5hh!
