Dear Jazmine

Hello my name is Melanie and I am a year 8 student in room 14. I am 12 years old and I was born on the 13th of August 1996. I have a brother Brandon, a mum Debbie and a dad Mark. I also own a cat Tabby and a dog Splash. We live on a 50 acre farm about 5minutes out of town.

I absolutely love horses. I have three ponies that I competitively show jump. My ponies names are the Phantom Warrior (Blaze), Jazz Cheval (Jazz) and Miss Tint (Minty). I am very successful with my ponies and I am currently being trained by Donna Smith, who represented New Zealand overseas. She was going to be part of the Olympics team but her horse broke down. I hope to continue excelling in this sport you never know I might be at the Olympic Games one day.

In my future life I would like two become an Accountant as well as a professional rider. My goal for this year is to win a championship event at New Zealand’s Horse Of The Year and prepare for the 2010 Pony Of The Year that stands at 1.30m to 1.35m.

My best friend is Katrina, she has been my best friend since year 4! I admire Katie McVean (show jumping rider) and Donna Smith (Evening rider) both of them have represented New Zealand like I hope to in the future.

Know you now I love anything to do with horses and I am a keen Show Jumper. Hopefully you will know a lot more about me!!!

Yours sincerely

Melanie
