Like I mentioned in my last post, we went to see N on Friday. This time we were actually allowed to ride them for a few minutes around the ring. We're definitely beginner riders, but I think we may have been too modest about our riding skills to N, because she seems to think we can't ride at all - which is why we've not ridden them before. I do know how to get in the saddle :P and how to get them to move faster, turn left, right, etc... Anyway, other than that we watched them being trained and cleaned a couple of hooves.

Yesterday my aunt and cousin came over, to celebrate my cousin's birthday, which was on the 26th.

We made an almond and raspberry cake, with a cool sparkler on it >:D I love sparklers.

Yep, as you can see by the candles, she's five. There've been three birthdays this month! My sister's, Mum's and my cousin's. Next it's me, in March :3

Earlier, we burnt our Christmas tree, which was fun. It blazed up really suddenly and the heat was terrific. It made a big crackling noise, too! 

 Theeeeen we went to see the horses. They owners have moved the horses a bit, and now the electric fence is working properly.
