Europe » Ireland » County Kerry » Kenmare April 2nd 2009

Today we woke up in our tiny little room in our Georgian House Hostel.

(my horse was peeing and i didnt know you shouldnt sit on their back when they do, so the trainer was yelling at me to lift up my butt so i didnt hurt him) I think from galloping, the inside of my legs are numb for the next week..lol..
