Show jumping and car breakdown

This week the weather was lovely. We spent the sunny week-end at Sofia's show jumping competition. On Sunday she fell off the pony before the competition, but then she won it. She has quite a bruise behind and the riding jacket got scratched, but fortunately she didn't get badly hurt.
On Saturday my car broke down when we arrived to the show jumping place which is about 50 km from our house. I was lucky again, because we had almost arrived to San Nicola and when we stood there and tried to get a lift, one of the owners of our riding school happened to drive by and he took us there so we arrived on time. There was nothing to do with the car, I had to leave it there and get back on Monday when the wrecker came and took it to our car mechanic. My car has stopped quite a few times these last months for one reason or another and this time it was a costly repair, so we decided it was time to get rid of it and look for a new one for me.
