Some of my cousins live in Sussex, next to the Ashdown forest. They have 2 cats and a horse. The horse is called Magic and he is a piebald pony, which means he is white with black splodges. When we went to visit Magic we saw the farrier. A farrier is a person who fits horse shoes to the horses feet. He has a special furnace in his van to heat up the shoe and he hits it into shape, before he fits onto the horse. It does not hurt the horse when he bangs on the shoe with nails.
I got to ride Magic in a little field. When I first rode Magic we went around the field in a walk. After a few minutes we tried trot but trotting is a bit bumper, so to make it more comfortable we have to stand up and then sit down. When a horse is trotting its legs move in diagonal pairs. I felt happy riding Magic because it's good fun working together.
