Oh, Marilyn

Standard

Not that famous actress, a lovely horse girl. She is honest in lessons, patient enough to carry such an unskillful rider as Mei-Shun. On the other hand, she is so charming and friendly, a little bit mischievous once leaving the ground. Yes, we know you do not like to be squeezed by a saddle belt. Please stop yawning 8 times after that.

Just to See You

Standard

It rained this morning. Mei-Shun had reserved a class, while insured it by carrots for horses in case it got harder — and it worked. After postponing her class to tomorrow evening, she visited the stable. Hi, guys. Did you have good breakfast? Here is a little treat for you.

Flowers for Piano

Standard

This bouquet from Shin has pleased us so much so far, yet roses are quite delicate. They look so tired that Mei-Shun gave them a cut-and-clean treatment. Here is one vase accommodating half of them, to get along with Ms. Piano. She missed her only player for a while, just kept herself neat and quiet.

Hi, friends.

Hi, friends.

Surprise Gift

Standard

Thank you so much, Professor S. She kindly sent Mei-Shun a delicacy of handmade again. Truly amazing is her technique and sense of beauty to employ such cute rose-shaped crystal beads. And this jade rose represents her warm regards. That must be why it just fits on the little cup behind Mei-Shun’s collarbone.

Purrr ... I love it, too.

Introductory Lesson

Standard

Thanks, Maroo. He is very handsome and kind, a white pony, 20 years old, played a role of Mei-Shun’s partner yesterday. Our club let us prepare for riding; we have to brush his/her body, clean inside horseshoes, put cushions on the back, etc., before lessons. Nice idea it seems — we agree with them. Soft pats and gentle talking during preparation would help our wordless conversation.

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
