Hi I'm Emma
My hobbies are horseriding,motorbiking,skiing and swimming. I guess I get my love for horses from my mum.  She broke horses in with a friend so I basically grew up with horses. Motorbiking, skiing and swimming I got from my dad.  James and I have mini motorbikes ourselves because we've got a big orchard to ride around on them. With skiing and swimming dad was the one who took us out in  the boat or to the beach the most.

One of my strengths is my determination.  I got this strength a couple of years ago. I had this stubburn pony called Ellie. She would never do as I said. I would try to make her go but she just wouldn't. She was so bad until one day I got on this bigger pony called Bugsy and then went back to Ellie and she felt so small. I felt powerful so I made her do what I wanted and that was the end of her bossing me around.

My other strength is I have a friendly personality. It's good because my dad owns cherry stall in the summer so I get to work in it to earn money. The fun bit is that most of the time I get to serve the customers so I get to chat to them and be polite. This one particular customer told Mum and Dad said, "what a sweet little girl you have!"  I got my friendly personality from Dad and my cheeky personality from Mum (just in Mums case I got her looks) :)

India

HI my name is India. I am 11 years old.

My hobbies are playing with animals, hanging out with my friends ;Amber, Jessica, and Jade, and doing anything to do with TAYLOR SWIFT, and listening to music.

My strengths are running and drawing.

When I first realized that I was good at running I was at training for athletics. I was put into the A relay team.It was a good and bad thing that I was in the A relay team. It was a good thing because it was my first time in the A team but it was a bad thing because my sister was in it too. 

When I first realized that I was good at drawing was when I was 10. I went to an art class and we had to draw a rose and a back ground. My one was pretty good but it was not the best.My rose was red  and in the back ground it had a foot path and a building.
