My Amazing Pony Games Day PARTY!

For my 11th birthday, I had a friend sleep over the day before my party. Her, myself and 3 of my other friends went to my riding stable (where I did lessons) and we had a pony games day! Let me start from the beginning . . .

So, the invitations that I sent out had a few horse cartoons and and a horse picture on it as well as some party information such as where we were going and what to wear (which was some long pants and boots/runners). I was all excited the night before, so I couldn't sleep!

When we got to the riding school, we all got given our horses. I got Max, who I always ride. The horses names were Max, Bella (pony), Milly, Doc and Tania Tucker (TT) After we had groomed the horses, we got to dress them up. I put a cowboy hat on max with holes for ears. I put a sparkly saddle cloth on him, a hawaiian lei, I braided his tail and mane and I tied all bows on him!

It was time to get started! We played all different games and won a ribbon each time we did so. I loved the obstacle course and weaving between poles. It was really funny to see some of my friends ride because most had never ridden before! In the end I got 3 1st places, a 3rd place and a 5th place. I had such a great time!

When the games were all over, we went up and I opened my presents, and I loved them all! Then my instructor came out and she gave us all a ribbon with our over all places on it. I came 1st out of everyone! I was just SO happy!

Then the instructor gave out 2 trophies: one for the best dressed up horse and one for the best horse and rider partnership. My friend and the pony, Bella, got the prize. It was obvious that she would win, because she was so cute and easy to make pretty. I was really nervous about who was going to get the partnership award. I really wanted it! And it WAS awarded to me! I was so happy! It has a horse head in bronze on it and some engraving, plus my riding club logo.

After the party, we went to MacDonald's and had some food and an ice cream cake. AFter that, we went to the park and played on the equipment until it was time for everyone to go home. It was the best birthday EVER!!!!!!!!
