lot of the time.
Oh well, weâre both here now and thatâs that, so thereâs no point complaining about it. Hopefully thereâll be some younger girls she can make friends with, anyway.
I canât wait for everyone else to get here so Pony Camp can really get started! Then Iâll have LOADS to write about!
Iâm quickly writing this while everyoneâs getting their stuff unpacked
Can you believe it? Me and Tegan have been put in a room together, because weâre sisters! All my sleepover plans are completely ruined and itâs going to be just like it is at home (i.e. BORING!).
When everyone started arriving Jody showed us all upstairs and there were these three really lovely older girls and three younger, and I thought, oh good, two rooms of four, so I can go in with the older ones. But then it turned out there are actually three rooms and that Iâm sharing with Tegan.
I really wanted to ask if I could go in with the older ones instead, but I didnât want to seem a fusspot, and anyway there are no spare beds inthere, so I tried to act like I didnât mind. As well as our bunk bed thereâs a single bed by the window. Jody said it was her daughter Millieâs and I cheered up âcos I thought, Well at least weâll be sharing with someone else . But then she said Millieâs away this week staying with her auntie, so it really is only going to be me and Tegan. All my imaginings about midnight feasts and whispering girly secrets went poof out of my head and I just stood there feeling glum, until Tegan brought me back to reality by making a big thing about having the top bunk.
Unpacking my stuff on the bottom bunk did cheer me up a bit, though. I kept thinking, Wow, Iâm actually here at Pony Camp â and staying for a whole week! I donât suppose sharing with T will be all that bad. Maybe when she goes to sleep Iâll be able to sneak into the older girlsâ room for midnight feasts so I donât completely miss out. Iâm definitely not going to let it stop me enjoying this week, anyway. After all, I canât wait to meet my pony, and thereâs the trail ride to look forward to, and all the lessons and mucking in on the yard (and mucking out â urgh â hee hee!).
Oh, weâre being called downstairs now â time to go and meet the other girls properly, and find out which pony Iâm getting!
Pony Camp is FAB!
I’ve really REALLY cheered up now ’cos I’ve had the most fantastic day!
I’m writing this in our free time after tea. We were supposed to go swimming next, but the sky looks a bit grumbly-thundery. Jody wants us to hold off for a while to wait and see what the weather does, so I’m sitting at one of the picnic benches outside the barn. Claudia, Bailey and Dannii (the three older girls I mentioned before) are here with me, writing in their Pony Camp Diaries, too!
The younger girls are in the games room doing something (I’m not quite sure what), but Tegan’s here with us. She didn’t want to write in her diary ’cos she’s not that fast at writing,and she’s already done a pic of her pony, Twinkle, so she’s making a giant daisy chain on the grass instead. Oh, there’s such a lot to write – I’d better go back to where I left off.
We got down to the yard and Jody introduced us to Sally, the other instructor and Lydia, the stable girl who’ll be helping us with our ponies this week. Then Sally got us to say our names to each other, and our ages and where we’re from. Claudia is 12 and from London, Dannii’s actually 13 and from London, too. (How cool, I wish I was from London!) I was really surprised when Bailey spoke because I was expecting her to be English, but in fact she has an American accent. She’s 10 and a half, like me, and she’s flown over here specially for Pony Camp this week (all on her own, how brave!) ’cos she wanted to go to a proper English riding school like she reads
