I was my boarding schools Chrismas party. It was awesome until my friend Ally introduced me to her. Sabrina Taylor. The unbeliever. In horses, that is. Im an equestrian, and everyone knows that I would rather die of a bad fall than of old age. Of course, if I die of old age that would give me もっと見る time to ride, but I'll be old and unable to.
"Hey Ally" I 発言しました walking up to my friend.
"Hey Lea.". He grinned back. "This is my friend Sabrina. Sabrina Lea." We shook hands. She looked me up and down and frowned.
"I have heard your name before, あなた were on some knd of event." She tapped her chin. I felt pride swelling in my chest that she remembered my name.
"Yeah, I'm on the Equestrian team." I beamed. She frowned, looked away and took a sip of her drink. "What?"
"Well, horse riding isn't a real sport. The horse does all the work." She 発言しました flatly. Pride was replaced with shock, then with anger. "I remember actually once we had to write a persuasive essay on allowing gum または something in school, so I took the idea and wrote a letter to some guy on the Olympic board on how horse riding isn't a sport."
"Escuse me?" I 発言しました coldly.
"Oh no." I heard Ally whisper.
"Horse riding ISNT a SPORT?!?!" I almost yelled. Some people looked at us.
"Oh, shush, its just some hobby." Sabrina waved her hand.
"Think あなた can do it?" I challenged. Something about this girl told me she wouldn't back down from a challenge.
"Is that a challenge?" she asked over the edge of her glass.
"possibly"
"Than I accept. I'll see あなた at the 納屋 tomorrow at, say, ten."She turned to walk away.
"No. Horse riding is a demanding sport. I'll see あなた at the stables at seven." I walked away before she could protest. It was so ON.
次 日 at Seven ten.
Sabrina appeared at the 納屋 door in front of me.
"Your late." I tried to hide a smirk.
"What ever."Sabrina waved her hand and followed me inside.
"So, you'll be riding ヒイラギ, ホリー today. She's pretty smooth, being a lesson horse and all." I called over my shoulder as I walked to the tack room.
"So were is she?" Sabrina asked looking around.
"In her stall. We have to get her tack first." I opened the door and ushered her inside. She looked around, wrinkling her nose.
"Why does it smell in here?"
"Because it does." I went through the racks till I found Hollys saddle, and waved Sabrina over.
"That's her saddle, pick it up." She did as she was told. When the saddle slid of the rack, Sabrina huffed and slid her arms もっと見る securly oroand it. I danced around, picking up Hollys bridle, blankets, girth, and Running Martingale, pilling them all on 上, ページのトップへ of the saddle.
"Why aren't あなた holding anything?" Sabrina groaned.
"You 発言しました あなた could do it." I turned and led her all the way to Hollys stable. She looked at us blankly and munched on some hay. Sabrina caught up with me. "Okay, now tack her up." Sabrina looked at me, the tack in her arms, and back to me.
"I don't know how to. あなた have to take lessons to know that. I just 発言しました I could ride because it's so easy." She rolled her eyes.
"Well, tacking up is a part of riding." I sighed as I took the tack from her and tacked ヒイラギ, ホリー up. Some time later, we were standing in the middle of the arena.
"Okay, now get on.". I instructed. Sabrina walked to her side and I giggled.
"What!" She snapped.
"Nothing, Ive just been doing it for so long that I forgot some people don't know that あなた alwase mount on the left side." I grinned as she walked around and mounted. Unfortunately she knew that あなた use the left foot for the left side. THAT would have been funny to see.
"Okay, now walk her out to the ウォール and go around the arena." I stepped back. Sabrina nudged ヒイラギ, ホリー with her knee, but ヒイラギ, ホリー didn't move. Sabrina did it again. Nothing. Again, and ヒイラギ, ホリー finally moved.
After there warm up laps, and Sabrina almost ran ヒイラギ, ホリー into a wall, I told her to do a posting trot. I thought I saw confusion flash in her eyes, but she kicked ヒイラギ, ホリー and she responded によって picking up her pace into a trot. Sabrina bounced in to saddle. She had no leg control, no correct diagonal, and no idea what she was doing. I almost laughed.
"Now canter." I shouted. Confusion flashed again in her eyes, but this time I could have sworn she had fear in there as well. Sabrina kicked Holly, but she kept posting, so ヒイラギ, ホリー didn't do anything exept keep going. After five ties, I got bored.
"In order to canter あなた have to stop posting and squeeze with your calfs." I announced. Sabrina shot me a dirty look but did. ヒイラギ, ホリー cantered. Sabrina held on tight with the reins and didn't follow または look up, so ヒイラギ, ホリー stopped cantering and walked, then stopped altogether.
"No!" Sabrina yelled. "Canter, あなた stupid horse!" she kicked ヒイラギ, ホリー hard. ヒイラギ, ホリー neighed, tossed her head like she was going to rear, but backed up. Sabrina took a sharp intake of breath and leaned down. I laughed. Sabrina glared at me.
"What's so funny." She was trying to look intimidating, but she couldn't.
"You! あなた say horse riding is easy and anyone can do it, yet あなた have no idea what your doing!" Sabrina dismounted, left ヒイラギ, ホリー standing there and stormed out of the arena. I giggled the hole time I untacked ヒイラギ, ホリー and the rest of the day.
"Hey Ally" I 発言しました walking up to my friend.
"Hey Lea.". He grinned back. "This is my friend Sabrina. Sabrina Lea." We shook hands. She looked me up and down and frowned.

I don't know what happened to him at the Belmont, but there is one possible theory. Before the race the commentary was made that Big Brown had been getting a legal shot of steroids once a month. The owner stated that he wanted everyone to see that he could win the race without the shot. This is his first race without the shot, perhaps this might have affected his performance. Just a theory. However, the temperature was a steamy 93 degrees, I can't imagine running a mile and half in that kind of heat. He was also fitted with a new pair of custom glue-on shoes, don't know how much affect this could have had on his surefootedness.
I was sitting out in a field just wondering when will I ever get my dream horse I closed my eyes for a 秒 and i heard a horse running towards me and i 発言しました "i know your there Colton (my little brother) and if your agervating me about my dream horse just leave" then i looked up and saw a beautiful black horse with a white 星, つ星 on it's head and i looked around and saw nobody and it already had a saddle and 手綱, ブライドル on so i just hopped on it and urged it to go and it ran like the wind and I was having the time of my life i yelled WAHOOO and i guess my mom heard me because she ran out and yelled "Hey where are あなた first-aid kit または 救急車 and i turned the horse around and went out of the woods and met my mom and she 発言しました "Where'd あなた get the horse ain't this your dream horse?" I 発言しました "yes" and my mom 発言しました "you can keep it" and i squeled today my horse's name is Misteria she is a girl who was 3 months pregnant with my new コルト spirit.
THE END
THE END
