Amelia said her goodbyes to Heather and went to fetch Moon for a ride. Then she groomed all the caked mud off his dapple silver coat. In the tackroom, she grabbed Moon's Sage Green riding set, plus sadle and bridle. she popped them all on him, and hopped lightly onto his back. Moon pranced a little around the yard, but Amelia managed to calm him down, steering him in the diection of the nearest paddock. She had decide to do some logjumps in the flat field today. Moon had only one these a few times before, so he was a little jumpy. but by the end of the session they were flying over tall oak logs.

Lisa:

"Oh, hi Lindsy! How are you this morning? It's such a lovely day!"

she said as she stroked a very sleepy Valegro. He was still snoozing even though it was almost time for his breakfast.

"When are you going to wake up boy?" she asked him.

But he didn't seem to even notice she was there.

Snowflake:

"Am I waking you up Venus? Are you still sleeping?"

Lindsy

-

"Yes, it is! I am great, you?"

---------------------------------------------------------------

Venus (horse)

-

"No, I am awake, how has dressage training been going? The extended canter is a hard move but I am sure you will master it!"

Lisa:

"I am pretty good this morning. This boy of mine hasn't woken up yet. He's such a sleepy head!" she laughed.

"How's Venus?" she asked.

She continued to stroke Valegro's neck, and she saw one eye open slighty, but then it closed again. Snowflake, was wide awake though. She seemed puzzled that Valegro could sleep for so long.

Snowflake:

"It has been going good. Thanks for the tips on the extended canter! I got it right last time! But I think that was just a coinsidence. Thanks, I hope I get it right. How has training been for you?"

Lindsy

-

"She is good, how is snowflake?"

----------------------------------------------------

Venus (horse)

-

"Training has been good. but I am getting nervous about the show, it could be any day now! What about you?"

Lisa:

"Snowflake is ready for her breakfast I think." she laughed as Snowflake started whinnying loudly and nodding her head.

"I think she's trying to wake up Valegro."

Snowflake:

"I understand how you feel. I want to win a little bit, but most of all I just want to have fun. What's your goal for this show?"

Lindsy

-

"Ha yep," She said as she strapped the saddle onto venues back.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Venus (horse)

-

"My goal is to win a little bit, have fun a lot but most of all learn. Every fail or win is a learning experiance.

Lisa:

"Have a great ride! Enjoy the nice weather!"
When she turned around she saw that Valegro had woken up.
"Hey there, you finally woke up! Let's get you two some breakfast."

Snowflake seemed to nod in agreement.

Snowflake:

"You are so right. I will have to remember that. Have a great ride!"

Jess | M: Open

She walked round for a bit and caught her breath while letting the mare catch her's too. She came up with a course that would be fairly easy with not too many tight turns. She clicked the mare back up from walk to canter and continued their lap. She lined Asteria up for the first jump and cleared it smoothly, they continued around the course and managed to clear all the jumps, Astera just clipping one. They popped around the course one more time, clearing them all and not clipping one. Jess decided to call it a day and cooled the mare off. She dismounted and lead the grey back to the barn for the night. Although they didn't do much hard work she gave her mare a quick wash off to help relax her muscles. Tomorrow was going to be another training day for the show.

Lindsy

-

It was early morning as she stretched out of her bed. She was determined to take a trail ride today to keep venus fresh and responsive. Maybe she could ask Lisa or amelia to come with her. She got dressed and had a quick bowl of cereal. She walked down to the barn and saw venus still asleep, she poured two scoops of grain in the bowl and put it in her stall. "Wake up girl" She cooed gently. She wanted to get venus up nice and early so she could eat her breakfast. When venus finally got up she took a while to eat, so while she was eating Lindsy got her tack and grooming brushes out of the tack room.
