The first week I went to Guatemala to a very important compeition were many talented riders with great horses participated. It was a wonderful experience because I got to know many new people and I got to see them riding. The level was amazing I had never seen something like that they take the sport very seriously. Even the smallest kids have the best riding gear. I wish that here in Costa Rica people took riding so seriously. Our riders did very well in the competitionon of them won the 1.20 open category and the over all team won second place, just below El Salvador. This was the first time in many years that the team of Guatemala didn’t win or got to be in the first three places. The third team I believe was Honduras. About thirteen Costa Rican riders competed in the one star CSI competition.  I hope that next year I have the cance to go and compete and to go see all my friends. While there I got invited to other competitions like this one in El Salvador, Honduras, Colombia, and another one in Guatemala. Just after I arrived from Guatemala I left for the school trip to Manuel Antonio in Quepos, Costa Rica. Manuel Antonio is a national park in Costa Rica that beatiful beaches and a great diversity within the flora and fauna. We saw monkeys bird and other wonderful animals native from this beatiful area of transitional forest. At the beggining of the trip we went to Turubari a park in the road to Manuel Antonio, I had a great time and enjoyed the canopy a lot. The second day we went rafting. It was one of the best things I have done in my life, I really enjoyed the adrenaline and swimming in the river it was very cool. The third day was my favorite, we got to relax and go to the beach, then we went and did some community service inside the park and went for lunch in a restaurant in front of the beach. Then we got to the hotel packed our things and went home. The busses were really nice we even got to see two movies while traveling it all was a great experience! Thank you Ms. Rumford for planing the trip!
