Go-Go's homework for the week was to read a book and do a small book report.  For youngers this meant: book title, author, main character, setting, and two sentences about the plot.

Well Go-Go chose the book: My First Pony.  A small picture chapter book - she was very excited to read it herself and the first 3 chapters she did read a larger portion than Mom.  Mom LOVES watching her read too; it's so much fun.

Well the last chapter was about the gymkhana Mom had to look this up.  I've never heard the word before - so Mom learned something new this week too.  And I had to share.

gym·kha·na
n.

1. Any of various meets at which contests are held to test the skill of the competitors, as in equestrianship, gymnastics, or sports car racing.
   
2. The place where such an event is held.

[Probably alteration (influenced by gymnastics), of Hindi ged-khn, racket court ged, ball ( of Dravidian origin) + khn, house (from Persian khna, variant of khn; see khan2).]
