What a beautiful horse!
I loved riding when I was young but was never lucky enough to have my own.
I had half a hope at the back of my mind when DD was little that she might get the pony-bug but dance got there first and there has never been time for anything else.
They do need a release.
DD has given up a couple of classes for the first time ever (she carried on doing the lot through GCSEs and AS) but she's finally realised she can't do it all.
She's still dancing 3 times a week, as well as teaching ballet on a Saturday morning and waitressing on a Sunday.
For now it seems manageable but when exams start she might have to drop a few more classes/shifts.
We'll see how she goes though.
She's insisting that she wants to dance in one final competition in May but we're waiting for them to release the final schedule before making a decision.
Then she'll have her Last Ever production at her drama school in July, but rehearsals won't ramp up for that until after exams thank goodness.
