"Not too shabby! It's the willingness that i wiuld want to work on with you two but other than that, not half bad!" He asked Valenciago for a passage and said "come on, match me!"

she matched him and shadow willingly went "hey carl I'm thinking I might get another horse and breed shadow after a couple of comps what do you think?" she asked him looking over at him "that way I could still do jumping and dressage"

"That could be an interesting idea!" Said carl, "I would suggest doing one season with her on the team so see how well she goes and wether her skills, movement and trainability are worth passing on, but that could be a great idea! Would you be looking for a more experienced new horse or a 3yo to train up yourself? Asked Carl enthusiastically

"i was thinking training a 3-year-old," she said smiling Shadows ears pinned sick of being ridden so Raven got off her and put a lead and halter on her

"3yo could be fun" said Carl, halting Valenciago. "I got this boy as a 2yo and trained him myself. It's really rewarding producing your own horse, especially if they get to FEI competition and win consistently." He smiled "you certainly have the talent, patience and ability to pull it off! Were you thinking mare or gelding? I would suggest a gelding, they are typically more willing and easier if you haven't produced many horses but mares can be nice too! Just don't get a stallion, two and three year olds are sweet but four and five year olds can be quite a pain, that plus stallion hormones will almost drive you crazy. I know!" He chuckled pointing to Valenciago

"Well I am getting a stallion" she laughed "I found a nice one he needed help and I told them I would take him"

"Oh!" chuckled Carl, "well i mean, that is a good reason to get a horse! When do i get to see the youngster?" He asked excitedly. Carl loved young horses, they were so full of life and still figuring things out

"soon very soon" Raven smiled she went to her saddle bag and pulled out a book then she pulled herself into a tree " you can join me if you'd like!" she called down to him

"Sure!" Said Carl, dismounting the tall stallion and tying him up. He pulled himself up the tree next to Raven

She smiled happy that he was with her
