I started riding horses when I was seven. I’ve been to lots of really cool places, Ride with Pride was first, Wagon Wheel second, then Showtime Farms, and last, Shady Oaks. The history of all these places is a very long story, but I will tell it to you anyway. I went to Ride With Pride for about a year and decided that I wanted to go to a more advanced place and went to Wagon Wheel. In between all that I met a really nice girl named Katie.
Mandi is on John and Katie is on Rio.
Mandi is on John and Katie is on Rio. She liked horses as much as I did. We also noticed we had a lot in common. Well, we wanted to take horseback riding lessons together and went to all of these places together starting with Wagon Wheel. 
I was there for a really long time but then I got the news that they were moving their ranch to far away in Texas. So we had to find another place to take lessons. We had heard a lot of great things about Showtime Farms and went there. The lessons were only thirty minutes long and it was really expensive so we looked for another place. 
We found Shady Oaks and that’s where Katie and I go to this very day. There are four horses. Their names are, Sinclair, Sandy, Tia, and Doc. We ride Sandy and Tia. The teacher of Sandy is a really nice teenager named Charlotte. She owns Sinclair also, but she just got him and is warming him up to the new place and to herself. Tia’s owner, Carol, teaches me dressage on Tia.

What AWESOME pictures Mandi!!! You've been riding for a long time now, huh? Pretty soon you're going to be WAY better than me. Uh oh. I better get riding more! I took a lesson the other day here in California and I'll probably take one a month. I love your pics. You look great and so happy. Love you!
Hi Cathy!

I am so impressed with your writing Mandi. You have such a good vocabulary and I could just see how you felt about the hike and your determination to finish was very evident. I loved the pictures too. That letter boxing is quite the fun hobby for sure. I suppose it would be a good idea to carry around some spare letter boxes incase you went somewhere that was very hard to get to but worth it. Then you could leave one for other people.
Hi Grandma!!
Thank you! I like your writing to. I'm sorry it is taking me so long to email you. I keep coming over to start and then I have to get off. I love to letterbox, I just don't like the kinds that are 2 miles long. Keep checking for more articles, my next one's about DaisDog (Daisy)
I love you!
Mandi
