IN THE
HOT SEAT

THIS MONTH IN THE HOT SEAT IS TODD KENTON! LET'S FIND OUT ALL ABOUT HIM...Todd and Brownowl

Hello! Now, you are Todd Kenton, you are seven years old and you live with your mum, Barbie and your dad, Paul.

So Todd, what are your hobbies?
I love horseriding - I go to lessons with Mrs Barlow, and I ride Brownowl. I've just done a showjumping contest, and I came second! I was so pleased.

Have you ever had any accidents while riding?
Yes, once I fell off Brownowl, and landed badly on my arm, which broke. Thankfully, after a few weeks in a plastercast, and then three sessions with Juliet the physiotherapist, my arm was as good as new, if not better! As soon as I had recovered, I was back riding again.

What are your dreams?
To become a professional horse-rider or show-jumper, and if I don't grow too tall, I might try being a jockey and win first prize! I'll have to practise a lot though!

What about school?
Well, my favourite lesson is Physical Education, because I love all sports. I also enjoy Science - blowing up the school (not really!!) - and I find History very interesting, but I hate Maths, it's so difficult. My best friends are George Williams and Stacie Nixon, and my favourite teacher is Mr Inns, the P.E. Teacher. It was really good when we were all invited to Miami and Jason's Wedding. Although I was teased a bit for being a Page Boy, I really enjoyed the whole ceremony, especially the party afterwards with all the little 'uns dancing around!

Todd enjoys soccer... ...and swimming!
