Equestrian

"Equestrian? Mcm mane tu?"








That was my response when Encik Dzul asked me whether I would like to join it the next Sunday~ on the 9th of August X)









He told me that it was to see horse jumping~ hahaa XD I then said Insya-Allah, if I have no other plans, I will join them that Sunday, which I did! yay yay =D (quote2 blueeek)

















There were 40 of us, 36 girls and 4 pengiring (me, Midah, Izza n Kak Ida). We started our journey at around 10 am, where a bus took us to the venue which was around 1 hour away XD















We arrived at the 3Q Equestrian club at Kuang, Rawang at around 11. It started of with the formal speeches. It turns out that was in fact a one-day program specially for anak2 yatim =) there were 3 more rumah anak yatim that attended the event. Rumah Bakti, Ijabah n one more I can't recall haha XD















We sat under a few tents, and we first witnessed a simple magic show, then the event moved on to mini games such as passing the rubber band with straws, blowing balloons till they explode, calling out our rumah and we have to reply with assigned sounds (cheh haha XD) decorating a cake, drinking lemon juice from a baby's water bottle haha XD

Nurul n Wahida =)

Me n Hazira =)

Though I only witness the girls playing the games, it was sure fun to watch (and funny haha XD)







We then had lunch from Marrybrown (sedap2 hihi) and later on continued with more games, and then we headed to the ring where the competition will be held after Zohor prayers. Oh2 and we did get caps and t-shirts as well as other stuffs in our goody bags, pakai baju tu ketat wlupon saiz L *sob2* T.T







We also got free milo!! Ade truck milo dtg waktu petang by the tents, ape laggiiii ;p

This is the chalet~ The place to do our prayers. Very cosy! =)

Sitting beside the ring for the competition =)

Drum performance before the competition started! =) *sorry for the bad quality, orang lalu lalang XD*

The competition was great!! There were 11 contestants, some from the US, Thailand, Brunei, Hong Kong and Malaysia too of course =) And I'm proud to say that the winner, did not hit any poles (no penalty points, a clean run!) was Khalid Ahmad, a MAlaysian wohooo!! XD (I'm sorry if I got your name wrong XD)

All the horses gather for the victory run =)

The victory run by Khalid Ahmad!*

We then headed back to the tents for teatime and the present-giving ceremony, every rumah anak yatim got equal hampers, only their sizes differed from each other =)

Nurul, Midah and Izzah + hamper XD

Soon it was time to go home! It was around 5 at that time, and we waited for the bus for quite some time (taking pictures to kill time too hehe)

Me, Nadia and Nurul =))

We were then told that our bus was stuck somewhere in a traffic jam, and the orang2 equestrian asked us to get back in~ to ride the horses, yayyy!!! =D (quote2)







Me, Midah and Izzah let the girls to try to ride the horses first, while their trainers guided the horses for a short stroll in that sandy field =) Klu sempat then only I will try to ride one.. Which I did! hahaha it was fun!!! And the horse that I rode was really2 tall!! nak naek kena naek kerusi dulu XD

2 horses were giving us the rides~ I rode the white n brown one (kat blakang tu XD)

During the short stroll, I asked the men how old the horse was. He said it was only 3 or 4 years old. And he then mentioned that their life span is not long~ around 9 years!!! O.o Horses have a shorter life span than a cat!! (cats could live up to 20) I did some research, and they have stated that horses could live up to 30-40 years old, if they were taken good care of. I think that 9 years could probably be their life span in this era. All due to our dying world =(







Getting of the horse was a little bit scary, as it started to move it's head haha XD But I got off safely weeeee =) And I also managed to touch and feed some horses in their stable, where one of the girls showed me a shy, Australian horse which was still young. It was very white, and it even looked like a unicorn! (without a horn that is haha) tp sgt2 comelll!! XD

Australian horse =))

*swings head*

I was also able to meet two ponies!! They could only grow up to that 'small' size, but the trainer said that we could even ride them (yes, he said I could as well even though I'm bigger than them haha) But they're surely adorable!!! =)

The bus finally arrived and we were on our way back to ractar =) It was quite a long day, with the intense heat right before the competition started, so I think almost all of us fell asleep at least for a while in the bus XD

Alhamdulillah we arrived safely back at Ractar, and papa came to pick me up. This might be the last time I meet up with the sesi pagi girls, as I am only able to meet up with the evening session girls on weekdays =( Hope to see them at least one more time before heading back to the US. If not, takde rezeki je =) smoga Allah sentiasa melindungi dan merahmati mereka!! =)

I'll surely miss u guys!! =))
