June - The End
That's me, at the top of the page. Good looking or what? A little girl
at the Unicorn school in Kew suggested that Mary needed to take her
teddy with her. So I'm going along for the ride! I'm actually a Fortune
Centre Bear, and I'm planning on becoming the first Teddy Bear to ride
from one end to the other of New Zealand.

The only problem is, I'm just learning to ride.
Can you ride? I expect you're better than I am. I find it difficult to
reach the stirrups, and I can NOT get those up-downs, so I'm going to
have a special arrangement on the packhorse's saddle.
I'll have a GREAT view!

Mary's Mum had a special arrangement when she
rode. She had a wooden leg so when she rode she had to wear a special
riding leg – Mary says she looked a bit like a pirate – which fitted
into a sort of leather bucket instead of a stirrup. She went hunting and
everything. Some of the children who ride with us from RDA will have
special arrangements of their own I expect. So I think special
arrangements are a bit cool.

I've been at the Fortune Centre watching the
students recently, so I can tell you they are jolly nice people. Each
day they ride and they look after their horses, but they also have
classroom lessons in things like reading and writing and all sorts of
other useful things like cooking and looking after their money. They
tell me that they find the work easier than they did when they were at
school, because its all about horses. |

They are all interested in horses,
but they found school a bit boring and difficult. But
they're jolly good at vaulting. First they practice on a pretend
horse - then they get to do it on a real live one! |

 My
brother Ted is very good at tumbling! But he's not so good at
getting dressed in the morning! Mum has terrible trouble getting
him dressed and ready for school!
