I just haven’t had a chance to write lately – I’ve been so busy looking after all the horses - especially now that the girls want me to rug them. This keeps their coats looking nice and stops them from getting bitten. I really need to get a summer rug for Sparkle as well. It’s so much extra work putting the rugs on and off, but at least the summer ones can stay on all day. They actually protect the horses and help to keep them cool. I didn’t know that! I’ll definitely have to get one for my baby!
I’m SO excited because this Sunday is my birthday!!! – Finally! And all my friends are coming over for a pool party sleepover on Saturday. I can’t wait to show them Sparkle. Mom said that we’ll be able to give them pony rides on the grass by the pool. She said that she’ll put Sparkle on a lead rope and lead them around. I can’t wait!
I wonder if I’ll get that new saddle? Mom and Dad said they won’t tell me what they’ve got for me. They said it’s a surprise and I have to wait. I hope it’s the Wintec! I’m so excited – I’m definitely not going to be able to sleep tonight.
