K is for Kemur Camp

Keith + Murry =... Kemur... Kemur Camp!!

Soooo i decided to write about Kemur Camp!

I have been going to Kemur since i was eight. I love it at Kemur, reuniting with friends and making new friends. Thats actually where I met Emilie Vos last year, Kate Carter about three years ago and Jenny about four years ago!

My first year of Kemur four years ago was great, I met so many new friends. I remember my first week of Kemur, the first time I had actually ridden a horse in a "lesson" it was great. And I had my very own pony for the week! Her name was scarlet, she was an amazing animal to me, all I ever wanted to do was be with her! Have you ever felt that? Like you love something so much you never want to let it go! So why don't I tell you something really good about Kemur Camp, you don't even need to bring a friend you'll always meet people there! I had so much fun my first week of Kemur, I convinced my parents to go another week! Leaving wasn't easy especially leaving Scarlet And off I went the rest of the summer flew by and I was back at Kemur. My second week at Kemur i rode the Kemur classic pony, Flash!

After my first year of course, I went back for another. I had to wait all summer, which felt like 10 years! When to Kemur of my second summer, I met Kate and Jenny ... I think unless it was my first year! So I rode a fat little pony called Willy, he was an amazing pony. Well he was actually really stubborn at first, but i just kept trying with him. That week flew by like nothing, but it was defiantly enough to make me go back for more!

The next year when I came back, my first week of that summer there was great and then I went the last week of the summer. WORST WEEK OF MY LIFE!! I anded up having to leave in the middle of the week, and i had to go to the hospital!! I was very sick and people thought I was dyeing from maple leaf food poisoning. But I didn't want to miss my week of Kemur so, I went back on Thursday for the last night or two!

Sorry for skipping things but, the next year I went to Kemur I had to go back to the hospital for a cat scan!

I have now been going to Kemur for four years, I think! I love Kemur Camp and hopefully I will be a counsellor one day!

Life Lesson: Try new things, make new friends and be brave!

U is for Uncomfortable saddle!

Soooo this is really random, but its been on my mind a lot lately, and its really bugging me! Its slippery, it annoying, it complicated and it makes me in a bad mood! And its my brand new saddle!

Its a brown Kincaid saddle, I think its really cheap and everyone always says "ohhhh its just perfect for a starter saddle!".

But to me its like a terrible saddle with no seat! There are many, many reasons why I dislike this saddle, I will name a couple. First of all its very uncomfortable, second its really hard on my horses back, third of all the knee rolls are barely there and don't work and last of all my girth doesn't fit on this saddle only of course!

The saddle is clearly uncomfortable, it has very little padding in it and the leather is not worked in with makes my life harder!! the saddle also tends to be really hard on my horses back, I don't exactly remember what this thing is called but it sits on her shoulders. I also mentioned that the knee rolls are a flat a pancake, what was the point of putting them on? Just to make people fly out of the saddle I guess! And lastly my girth doesn't even do up because the saddle is so messed up!

In result to this mistake of a beautiful saddle, I'm returning it to get a new one! Which makes this blog quite pointless and just like i'm giving up, but i'm not! Its just to frustrating to ride, when riding is suppose to be a calmer and its suppose to make you happy! Which in my case its the total opposite!

Life lesson: The first thing you try isn't always the best, and maybe not the second but you need to just keep trying!!

i commented on Georgia's blog but it did not work so heres the comment

Its about SUNDAYS!

Good job Georgia it was really good, but maybe next time you could make it a little bit longer, and say more reasons why you don't like Sundays, because you kept getting off topic!! You are right... i don't like sundays that much either because schools the next day. I loved your life lesson, keep up the good work!

K is for Kesha

Messy hair, smudged makeup and a wardrobe she describes as "garbage-chic"

Can you guess who?!

Thats right, its KESHA ROSE SEBERT! Blonde, singer/ songwriter is quite a character, thats why I like her, and her songs! She dresses the way she pleased and the way she could afford, at the beginning of her career, she didn't care if she fitted in with all of the other rich singers. I think everyone should be able to do that, especially if you are famous and not to care what billions of people think of you! Kesha has been noted for her party girl image and behaviour also.

Her career all started when she was 18 years old, after being in the recording studios all the time because of her parents, it really encouraged her.

Did you know that Kesha was in the song "right round" by flo-rida ... no you probably didn't notice! Kesha also just released her new album "Animal" early 2010. Her song Tik Tok was was released in August 2009 to much commercial success. It reached number one in eleven countries and set the weekly records for the most digital downloads of a female artist and of the total top forty mainstream airplay records in the US. The song also became the longest running number-one debut single by a female artist since 1977.

Kesha was born in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles to Pebe Sebert, a singer and songwriter. Her mother, a single parent, looked after infant Kesha onstage while performing.Pebe was struggling financially while supporting Kesha and her older brother, Lagan, at the time and they had to rely on welfare payments and food stamps to get by. Pebe moved the family to Nashville, Tennessee in 1991 after securing a publishing deal.

Life Lesson: Be who you want to be, like who you want to like. Try to be yourself rather than what everyone else is, and maybe you can be a leader!

Some information was off of wikipedia.

D is for Dreams

They are scary, romantic, exciting, fantastic, abandonment, fear, joy, happiness, and make me very happy... DREAMS!

A dream is a succession of thoughts, images, sounds or emotions which the mind experiences during sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history.

I dont know about you, but I think dreams are an amazing thing that the mind does, while the rest of your body is sleeping! The only thing i don't like about dreams is when you have a scary dream, because you can't control whats going on, and sometimes you can't stop it, well at least I can't! When I'm dreaming I do love it when something in my dream is going perfect, like meeting Justin Bieber or just really good things happening to me.

Another thing that makes me more interested in dreams is how people will dream something bad, and then maybe a day, a week, or even 40 years from then it will come true! This has happened to my father, about six years ago he had a dream that he was sitting in a really fancy room with the princess of Australia or someone like that, and about a year ago when he was in Australia it came true! He was sitting in the exact same fancy room with the princess of Australia.

Thats one thing about dreams that I absolutely love, because its just amazing how the mind will know that or when the moment comes that those things happen, it will seem so familiar like it was bound to happen!

Thats my theory on dreams, maybe its different for you and you just don't find them very interesting, but I'm obviously the total opposite!

Life Lesson: Think about next time you dream, and what its about and maybe you find it cool how you don't control what happens too! Also think about what kind of imagination you have in your dreams, and try to relate it to your normal life!

S is for Soccer

Shes running down the field, the pressure is on, she shoots she scores!

I love running down the soccer field with the ball and passing it back and forth with my friends! I also love the adrenaline rush I get while running, all the pressure from the crowd, and your coaches! But most of all I like having to get around the other team, while passing it back and forth with your friends! Soccer is even more exciting when your trying to get a goal, since I am just new, I miss the net sometimes but its still fun going back and trying again!

This is my first season playing soccer at SJK and I love it, but before I started I wasn't so sure about soccer... I don't know what i was thinking! Soccer is extremely exciting, but it seems more entertaining for me to be involved in the game, like forward or mid-field. Maybe your different and like being defence or goalie where you defend for your team, which is just as important!

I would highly recommend playing soccer to anyone and any age. If you have never played you should try it, like I did and again I thought I wouldn't like it but I did!!

In conclusion get up and go play soccer, practice and have fun!

Life lesson: Try new things even if you don't think you'll like them, because in the end you might LOVE it!

I is for Iby

Black, lovely, beautiful, stunning, exquisite, ravishing, moody mare!

Thats my horse Ibica for you! I have had Iby since December, she is an amazing horse. Before we bought her we free-leased her, but we loved her so much we had to buy her ;)!

She is a dutch warmblood cross with a hanoverian. She is now thirteen years old, fourteen on January first. She has deep, adorable eyes that make you melt! She has a big belly but is getting better ever since i got her.

When i did get Iby she was very out of shape and everyone seemed to think she was pregnant!! People who don't know her still seem to ask if she is having a baby. But thats because, Iby was a broad mare and she had three or two babies before the old owner had her. So it will be really hard to get rid of her belly completely, and besides it just wouldn't be Iby if she was skinny!

Ibica is an amazing hunter/ jumper horse, she has been to a lot of shows before I got her. And she placed very well too! Iby is on a break from jumping at the moment because of the crack in her hooves.

Iby is coming to my house at the end of June, I am very excited to have her that close to me and being able to her whenever I feel like it!

Lesson learned: When I first rode Iby to try her out, i wasn't so sure i liked her... but that was probably only because i went from riding a 13 hand pony to a 16 hand mare! But now I have Iby and she is an amazing animal and made me a better rider! (:

Cheerleading

CHEER SPORT GYMS ... ALWAYS RISE ABOVE ... CHAMPIONS UNITED ... TEAL IS LOVE

Cheerleading-

I am a cheerleader, a cheer sport shark(the gym i go to) ;) I have been in cheer for three years now, and I was in dance since i was about four, which really helped me!

I can do anything from back walk overs to back tucks, and front tucks(back flip and front flip).

Cheerleading is a very fun, and entertaining thing to do! A lot of people think that cheerleading is not a aport, I'm not so sure my self either. People also think that it is all preppy girls who stand there and shout!

Cheer is much more than that, if cheerleading was like that I probably wouldn't be in it!

In cheerleading there is a routine, about 3-5 minutes long, it requires about seven sections/parts. There are usually about 25 to 35 people on a team, on the lower levels come times theres only about 5 to 15!

1.Opening, 2.partner stunts, 3.tumbling, 4. pyramid, 5. band cheer, 6.dance, 7.a optional partner stunt

The opening usually will include some motions, stunting and tumbling. The opening in my routine this year includes a lot of tumbling, I do a kart-wheel backhand spring tuck and then my motions.The opening is very important, the team should be trying there best because if it looks sloppy the judges, will have a bad impression of the team!

Next is the partner stunts, which are stunts featuring four to five people, or more depending on the group. There are many different types of stunts from very beginner to advanced. When you are first starting cheerleading you do thing like thigh stands and double base, but as you move on to higher teams you do things like: extensions, limbs, fulls, baskets, twist ups... and on and on!

Now we have tumbling, for your tumbling sections its mostly just tumbling the whole time, and the coaches will throw in some motions. Again there are many different skills in tumbling depending on your level. In more advanced, the teams will be doing a lot of back handsprings and tucks, on the even higher teams you'll see a lot of fulls and halfs and layouts.

There is also the pyramid, this is the thing that most people know or have reconized in a cheer routine! Its easy to remember because it looks like a triangle/pyramid!

The band cheer, is the cheer that was said at the very beginning its the gyms cheer, every gym has there own different cheer, that the audience cheers along with the team. The band cheer changes every year.

Finally the dance its pretty clear that in the dance, you dance! (; The dance is another important part of the routine, because it shows the judges how hard you try and how sharp and neat you are.

At the end of the routine, depends on how many days the competition is, there is the awards ceremony. Thats were you find out your places, when you get back home and you have your practice after the competition you find out where you went wrong and how to improve.

Zebras :)

WHITE AND BLACK ALL OVER!!

My favourite animal is a Zebra, I love zebras for their stripes. I also love zebras because they are very familiar to my other favourite animal, a horse! There are three species of zebra: the Plains Zebra, Grévy's Zebra and theMountain Zebra. The Plains zebra and the Mountain zebra belong to the subgenusHippotigris, but Grevy's zebra is the sole species of subgenus Dolichohippus.

Zebras are African animals best known for their white and black stripes. Their stripes come in different patterns unique to each individual. They are generally social animals and can be seen in small harems to large herds. In addition to their stripes, zebras have erect, mohawk-like manes. Unlike their closest relatives, horses and asses, zebras have never been truly domesticated.

The unique stripes and behaviors of zebras make these among the animals most familiar to people. They can be found in a variety of habitats, such as grasslands,savannas, woodlands, thorny scrublands, mountains and coastal hills. Grevy's zebra and the Mountain zebra are endangered. While Plains zebras are much more plentiful, one subspecies, the quagga, went extinct in the late nineteenth century.
