Paralympics Hong Kong 2008 day 4

Hello, Greetings to Peadar, Anne and Emmet today, and thanks to Marion for her text message. Today I was up at 6.30, left for the stables for 7.30 and was riding by 8.15, we just walked, the heat in the morning is pretty severe and you can tell Youri feels it as well. Youri is getting more up beat which I dont know is a good thing or not. This morning we got in the main competition arena and I introduced him to the pandas hiding in the bushes but he didnt seam to mind. The crowd are alot closer to you than what you see on tv so I hope he will be ok. I was really tired today and after riding and having breakfast I got a bit emotional and headed to the bed at 11.30 and slept till 4.30 and had enough time to go to a tailor to see if I can get a jacket to fit me and headed back to the stables at 6.30 to ride at 7.15. We then had some craic with Team South Africa and went for dinner in the grooms dining quaters and its an experience not to be repeated!! We did some more socialising and got back to the village at 12. Thanks to all who have supported me. Greetings to Liam, Dee, Kate, Zara, Jan, Mags, Gemma, Wayne, Helen, Mary Anne, James, Margaret, Charlie, Setanta Choir, Dun Lughaidh Sec School, Geraldine and all her gang, Ray and Nula and Thresa and Lee and all the folk who have support me for so long. THANKS A MILL please let me know if I have missed anybody.
