This one was pretty light on theme fill... I just made a new one that's jam packed with horse stuff, LOL. I don't know what half of it means, either. Good thing I'm not the one taking the test!
There are qualifications/certifications for the Pony Club, there's a whole ton of terminology they're supposed to know related to horses- equipment, sporting terms, anatomy, things related to taking care of them, yadda yadda yadda. So I made this one with a few kinds of the jumps, I made another one with a ton of pony anatomy. My daughter has one of her certification tests tonight.
I had assumed you were but didn't know for sure! We love Iceland - my wife and I honeymooned there 14 years ago. We were there during October/November; it felt like we had the entire Ring Road to ourselves. We'd drive for 2-3 hours and not see a single person. Every place we stayed outside of Reykjavik, we were the only guests, and any people working were so happy to see us. It was a magical trip. We look forward to returning at some point during a summer with our daughters and experiencing it in a whole different way.
Two vertical jumps set parallel to each other, which makes a gap between them so the jump becomes wide.
