Heather Proudstorm | 16 | Eventing | Nightmare "Prince" | M: Open -Heather would be tacking Prince up, getting him ready for XC training. Once she finished, she gently patted the gelding on the neck before leading him out of the barn, heading straight over to where the Cross Country Course is- -Once they got there, Heather brought the large equine to a halt, putting the reins back over his head before gathering up in her left hand while gripping his short mane and her other hand gripped the back of the saddle, she placed her left foot into the sturrip before lifting herself up, swinging her right leg over before sitting down in the seat of the saddle, placing her right foot into the other stirrup while having the reins in both of her hands now- -Once they were inside the XC course, Prince was already starting to get excited as he was tossing his head a bit while rearing up a bit, obviously ready to go. Heather counted down in her head before squeezing both sides of the equine's sides, not long as he shot off like a rocket going to space. The red-brunette would be holding on tight while her gelding galloped down the track, ears flicking backwards and forwards while nostrils flared to bring in more air into his lungs as he ran, his pale hooves beat against the earth as dirt flies up a bit, obviously covering more ground from his galloping strides then they flew over their first obstacle in the course, landing as they continue to keep going but Heather would be on him a bit to slow him down on the tight turns of the course- |

Lisa: After the horses had their breakfast, Lisa thought she should give each of them a bath, and then possibly ride them. "Ladies first!" she said with a grin. Once Snowflake was out of her stall and tied up, Lisa went to go get everything. When Lisa was gone Snowflake untied the knot in the leadrope, and trotted down the barn isle. Once Lisa returned she found a broken leadrope and no horse. Where did she go? Is she okay? What happened? she thought. She found Snowflake grooming Valegro with her teeth by his stall. "Snowflake! Why? What? How? I was so worried about you! Oh, I see I used a flimsy leadrope." she said as she saw the other half of the rope dangeling from her halter. "Well I'll check you for injuries, and then give you a bath" she said as she put Snowflake back away. |

Lindsy - "Hey, Lisa!" She called as she hurried down the barn aisle. "I see you got snowflake, I saw her trotting by me and venus. Also, I was thinking of taking a trail ride with venus, want to come? It would help keep her fresh and responsive for the show." |

Lisa: "Yes, I forgot she was a master at untying knots. I would love to come! I don't know which horse though. Is Venus a Dressage horse?" she said. She was relevied that Snowflake was okay, and not hurt. Oh, what a horse I have. That Snowflake is quite the character. At least she didn't get hurt or anything, like my previous horse. she thought. Her last horse had got loose and ran into the road, got hit by a car and gotton hurt so badly he had to be put down. That had happened not that long ago. She felt like crying she missed him so much. Ususally she was cheerful and happy but right now it was hard for her to get the pictures of him dying out of her mind. |

Lindsy - "Yes she is, but I want to convert her to eventing. And take as much time as you need on your decision. I will be figuring out which trail to take." |

Lisa: "My ultimate goal would to have my horses become world champions, but I don't think that will ever happen. What's your ultimate goal for Venus? Okay, I think I'll take Snowflake, and we'll train later. Thanks for inviting me!" It took almost all of her energy, not to start crying while saying that. What's wrong with me? Why do I feel great some days, but horrible other days? Is there something else bothering me? Well Lisa, cheer up you're going on a trail ride with Snowflake! But she couldn't seem to cheer up. Maybe reading a book will help. |

Lindsy - She slipped the bridle over her mares her head, "Yeah, my goal is to be a 3* eventer." Anyway, what about the gray fleck trail? It seems easy but also a little challenging." |
|
|
| |
|
Lisa: "Sure, I think that would be a great trail to ride on! That will test our horses I guess. Thanks again for inviting me!" she said. She was feeling much better now. It feels so good to have nice friends like Lindsy. I'm very glad I came here. To bad it wasn't with Jax, my old horse. she thought sadly. She brushed Snowflake and got her tacked up and all ready to go. |
