Congratulations to Solène!
She came in FIFTH at the Saint Eynard Horse Race. She was riding Rafale, her favorite mare. (Do you know what a mare is? It’s a female – a girl – horse) Read Solène’s report on this fabulous day of victory.
Last Saturday, I went to my horse-club and I rode Rafale to revise for the
dressage’s competition. It was excellent!
In the afternoon, firstly I prepared my mare for the competition. After that, I brushed her and I took her some food.
Sunday 3rd April, I went to the horse-club at 10 a.m. and I brushed Rafale.
Then, I plaited her horsehair. Following that, I prepared for the theory. In the
afternoon, I sellered and bridled Rafale and I warmed-up my mare. Finally, I went
to the competition’s arena. The competition was a lot of fun and my mare and me
finished fifth. It was a magic day! I love competition days because they are
wonderful days.

This is how Solène prepared for this competition
Yesterday, I went to my horse-club to do horse-back-riding. I rode Rafale and we did jumping.
It was a lot of fun and the weather was very sunny. My sister was watching me during my horse lesson. We didn’t make any bars fall at the first course, but later on some bars fell.
It was a very good day.
I love horses and horse-back-riding but I prefer to ride when it is sunny!!
A regular Saturday
Last Saturday, I got up at 7.00 and I had breakfast. After that, I went to my
horse-club to do horse-back-riding. I rode my favourite mare. Its name is Rafale. At
10.00, I was preparing Rafale and the lesson began at 11.00 a.m. We did obstacle
jumping. I love hudling. My horse teacher prepared an obstacle course with 6
obstacles. Rafale jumped very well but one bar fell. I was unsaddling my mare
when my father arrived to come back home. I said good bye to Rafale and to my
friends. I went in Rafale’s box and I followed my father. It was good, but it
was raining!
