ItalianoGACKT Official Blog update. Translation below:
I relaxed for the first time in awhile.
This scent is special.
I heard that there was a horse ranch in Gotemba so I decided to go horse riding.
As it was the first time that I’m riding a horse in a long while,
and with the ligament in my left leg torn,
I don’t know how much of a hurdle it will be so this was a good chance too.
With the thought of wanting to try various things, I tried straddling a horse.
I didn’t have much trouble.
However,
This horse ranch specialises in the British too,
so since we’re here, I tried some obstacles too.
When attempting obstacles, what’s important
is how smoothly you enter your approach,
and you feeling as if you’re one with the horse when it’s jumping.
If you drop your line of sight, your posture will collapse,
and the horse too will end up feeling anxious.
Also, you might say it’s splendid,
but for the first time in a long while, I fell from the horse during practice.
As expected, I couldn’t stand on my left leg and when by balance went off,
my knee slipped right off and I fell.
Those around me were worried but
if you’re conscious of how you fall when falling off the horse, it’s not that dangerous.
Especially so when the soil at the horse ranch is soft.
Also, horse ranches that use rubber tiles and such
make it more difficult for both the person and the horse to get injured.
It’s the first time in 10 years that I’ve fallen off a horse but
I was able to properly understand
what kind of posture makes my standing on my left leg ineffective.
After practising for awhile,
I headed out and took a walk with the horse.
I went into a mountain path for a little, and ran through it fast to get to know the path.
I haven’t had enough time with this horse.
I love horse riding to death.
If I were to get a girlfriend
the minimum requirement is that she needs to be able to ride horses.
Anyway, I’m enjoying gracefully riding a horse like this but
today, again, I was asked by that Student Council President to go to Camui♂Gakuen’s Gakuen Fest in Nagoya.
I wonder if I can make it at this rate.
I thought of heading straight to the venue right after horse riding but
because I didn’t have a change of jackets, I decided to go shopping.
The Student Council President of Camui♂Gakuen
sent me picture after picture of the rehearsals.
It was about time that I had to go, it seemed like he was getting angry.
It’ll be troublesome getting angry.
Can’t be helped, I guess I should go watch…
I suppose it’s almost time for it to start.
I’ll look forward to a good Gakuen Fest tonight too.
