Horse Riding

(Left) My Riding Instructor (Philip) and I. He is an English Yorkshire Man -can you believe it, this school is full of all people from the UK! Which makes understanding the riding instructions so much easier, if I dont understand the Italian I just ask for the English translation!






(Below) Taking the small jump on the worlds most naughty horse! (Petro bit me 3 times just whils I was putting his saddle on!) This is also the worlds laziest horse- I have a bad sholder the next day from whipping him so much!












Practising the small poles before jumping. The riding park is in a beautiful place surrounded by bush and gardens which is really strange so close to the city of Turin.

























Above is my friend Vanessa, she is spanish from Madrid and working in Turin. She is the one who invited me to come with her riding at this school, she has been going for nearly a year.
I really love it, its something that keeps you sane living in the city, Im too used to having green around me, so this is nice to spend an hour in the 'country'.

Photos are thanks to my french friend Alain who also comes riding with us and has a fantastic camera!
