Normandie 2013

This summer I've been to St Lô, a village from Normandie. I was there with the Spanish Horseball Ladies Team to play the European Championship. It entailed a big change for me, because last year I played with the Spanish Under16 team, but this year I was able to play with the ladies. Four girls who played with me and I we were only 17, and were the youngest girls in this championship. For this reason, nobody trusted we had many possibilities to win because we didn't have as much experience as the other players. But well, here comes the funniest thing! The first thing I have to say is that, to start with, I was a booking player, but one horse was ill and couldn't go to compete. We played the first match and we won 9-2 versus Portugal (I played this first match). Although I didn't play the second match, we won 9-5 versus Belgium. There were also two resting matches that we had to play against France, which was the best team ever. As it was expected, we lost both matches, but we ended up getting 2nd place. Everybody congratulated us, and of course, the we were the youngest ladies!! (nobody would have said... that we could get the 2nd place)


This championship was the best one, for me. Here I’ll show you some pictures:
