Clever Horses

Standard

They are just great. 110 and more horses are working for a club in Ryugasaki. They work much harder than many of us; 6 days a week from 10:00 to 20:00. Rachel, the first partner of Mei-Shun, is a 17-year-old girl who has a shiny brown coat. She is kind and patient enough to follow beginners’ awkward signs to stop, walk and trot. Thanks, Ray-chan. Mikan-chan gave a permission to communicate with you. See you next week with a banana.

Sweet Rachel

After 6 Wks

Standard

Sigh of relief: no problem in Mei-Shun’s current condition, Dr. A said. Just one thing is clear – gaining weight affects the scar resulting from the operation. The more it is pulled outward, the wider it would be. It is therefore very important for a thinner, better scar to lead a good diet.

Walking Around

Standard

It is warm today. Mei-Shun is staying in a one-person room, whose window faces the north. Feeling a bit cold in mind, she walks around the main building every day to see the sun. It looks the same for flowers as well.

2015 Performance

Standard

… has been set on November 15th, Sunday. Mei-Shun had just started to learn how to dance Suisen-Tanzen before her hospitalization. She has 7 months left for lessons, long enough to make it – hopefully.

Piano Practice

Standard

Mei-Shun sometimes ask Shin to give a request for her piano. When he chooses “flashy one”, it means Debussy’s Arabesque. “Moonlight” is either the one by Debussy or the other by Beethoven. Any pieces need a good finger exercise to play clearly.

Strolling

Standard

Mei-Shun (and Shin on weekends) started walking toward the nearest shrine. Daily exercise including dance practice is indispensable for her healthy life. It is a nice day, while a dragonfly escorted her through a narrow path between rice paddies. We are satisfied to have such a beautiful environment conserved well.
