[[Lol, dunno. They didn't count the JV races sad lol. Anyway... Ugh. I hate being JV because of this.. But varsity is so far ahead.. I mean.. A 16min 5k(3.1m) for guys? 17-19 for girls! I'm still at a freaking 23! Ughhhhhh.. Lol. Anyway.. I did pretty okay.. My spikes messed me up 'cause that course was all woodchip-py and my spikes stuck to them.. Screwed up my balance and therefore messed with my ankles... I think we all looked like ritards hobbling and sprinting at the same time.. Lol. I thought other people did, so I bet I did too XD]]
Arabella opened her tack trunk in between her horses' stalls. She took out her boots and half chaps before sitting on her trunk and strapping and zipping them on. She then grabbed the halter next to Stormy's stall and went into Stormy's stall to get Stormy. She then brought her horse out to the cross ties and went over to get her riding tack. Luckily, her practice tack was kept in her trunk instead of her showing equipment in the actual tack room. She found it easier to get to her lesson that way.
As soon as Stormy was saddled and bridled, she took the reins and started to head toward out of the barn. When she got out, she mounted Stormy and trotted away.

[[I'm not going to take the time to type in Arabella all day long XD Bells or Bella or whatever is her nickname. I believe I included that in the profile...]]
Bella asked for a slow and steady canter as she reached one of the trails, the more pretty one with a few natural jumps(like logs and creeks and stuff), so she could train as well as have a nice exercise for Stormy.
Stormy let out a short, excited whinny and pranced around in a cantering-stride toward the trail. She knew this one well enough to know it had jumps, and jumping at fast speeds was her favorite thing to do. It was much more fun than keeping a controlled, even-paced, steady canter where you're judged on your strides before a jump and how well you execute that. Stormy knew that Bella didn't care if she didn't have perfect jumps or anything, in shows or not, but Stormy still liked showing off to other horses, and pleasing Bella. On trails, Stormy didn't care either. If she hit the log, or touched some water in the creek, or ran through it period, Bella wouldn't be mad, she would laugh.
[[And we should all make guy characters and add in some romance? Lol]]

((Yeah you did. And yeah I tottaly aggree with you!))Cassandra slid the stall door opened and walk over to Carousel. "Hey girl.." She murmmed softly as she rubbed the star on the thoroughbred/paint's forehead. "Want to go for a ride?" Cassandra said slipping Carousel's leather halter on and clipping her black lead rope onto the halter. Clicking her tounge, Cassandra led her out of her stall and tied the mare to the crossties. Patting the mare, Cassandra went into the tack room, grabbing Carousel's grooming box and came out, going back over to Carousel. Pulling out the curry comb, Cassandra started to brush her, starting from the neck down, to the stomach, and then the rump, almost no dust on her.

Bella smiled as Stormy flew over a double jump set out in the trail. She patted Stormy's neck, saying 'good girl' in her ear as they galloped down the trail now. Bella let Stormy take over, basically. She could lead and do whatever she wanted to, but Bella knew Stormy would be well-behaved and not do something to throw Bella off..

Cassandra contiued to brush Carousel untill thhe coat had no dust one both sides. She nexted picked up a hard brush and sweapt accross her coat, getting all the loose dust off. Sky sat on a large boulder his lef leg up and is right leg down his hands holding his left leg, as he watched Molly graze peacfully on the grass. Her bay coat shone in the day time sun. She was tacked in english tack, a brown saddle on her back with a white saddle pad, black horse boots, and a chestnut bridle, her name pritten in gold print accross her bridle. A monarch butterfly flew passted him and landed on his shoulder. "Good luck" He thought, as he watched the butterfly fly away. But little did he know his luck wasa coming...

A thundering of hooves swept by and Stormy galloped forward at the end of the trail. Bella giggled happily and pet Stormy on the neck as she slowed her down to a walk and walked toward an open ring. She wanted to get some show jumps in before she rode in her lesson later with her new teacher, Skyler.
Truth be told, she was excited about a new teacher. Of course, Cassandra was excellent, but she seemed so busy all the time, especially with Josh, the only guy here at SSS.
Joshua hummed a soft tune to Life Is A Highway as he walked down the large property of SSS. He wore a white and blue striped polo and a pair of dirty jeans, along with his normal brown boots. He was smiling, and sauntering slowly just outside the Racing Barn. His heart almost lept when he saw Cassandra grooming Carousell.
"Morning Cassandra." He said sweetly to her as he tossed her a bright smile and stopped by his horse's stall to pull him out. "How are you today?" He asked her as he grabbed a cross tie and hooked it to his horse
s halter.

Cassandra smiled brightly at Josh when he came in. "Not bad. How about you?" Cassandra asked, stopping grooming Carousel to watch Joshua. Her heart leapt in in excitement. She tried not to show it but it was hard.

"I'm doing alright." He said with another smile. He grabbed the other cross tie and hooked it onto the other snap in is horse's halter and then opened up his tack box to grab a simple brush to brush off some dust off his horse before he'd get him all tacked up.
Bella dismounted right in front of the gate to the outdoor arena and opened it before leading Stormy in and getting on her again.

"I actuly have the day off today...you want to go for a ride?..." Cassandra asked, smiling. She pulled out the body brush brushing Carousel from top to bottom and down her legs.
Skylar sighed and got up. He had his first class to teach in about 15 minutes. Getting up, he walked over to Molly, taking the reins and swinging into the saddle. Gathering his reins, Sky nudged Molly into a trot back to the stable, going though the lake.

"Oh? Not teaching Bella her lesson today?" He asked her, raising a brow as he grabbed his saddle pads and saddle.
Bella trotted around the ring a few times before going over a few poles and then starting to canter a few times around the ring.

Cassandra shook her head as she picked Carousel's hooves. "Nope. I hired a new riding teacher. He seemed ready so why not give it a try?" Cassandra said putting the right hoof down and going to the right hind leg picking it up and cleaning it.
Skylar came close to the stable and dismounte Molly, leading her into her stall and quickly untacking her and giving the mare a quick grooming. Not having time to cool out Molly, he put her purple blanket on and slipped her leather halter on and clipped on her lead rope, leading Molly out to the hotwalker. Clipping Molly's halter on, he turned on the hotwalker before making his way towards the ring.

"Ah, I see. Sure, then. Whenever you're ready." He replied as he put on the saddle and tightened his girth before taking his bridle in hand and unclipped the cross ties.
Stormy whinnied as Bella turned her toward a jump. Bella held Stormy back at a slow canter though, reins loose, and in 3-point.
Stormy had her ears perked and her gaze focused. That is, until a boy started to walk toward the ring. Stormy's gaze was caught off, and Bella was still focused on the jump. Stormy shied away from the jump, just at the last moment, throwing Bella off on accidnet.
Bella let out a small squeal as she lost her seating and hit the ground with a dull thud. She groaned and rolled over onto her back in the dust. What had made Stormy do that? She never did that. What took her attention away?

Nodding, Cassandra finished the rest of Carousel's hooves and went into the tack room, grabing Carousel's black racing tack. Coming out, Cassandra tacked Carousel all up and then grabbed her reins, Carousel pawing the ground and tossing her head waiting imaptiently. "Want to go out to the racing track or the trails?" Cassandra asked as she turned Carousel around and headed outside into the cold crisp fall morning.
Skylar gasped and rushed over to Bella's side. Going up to her he he knelt down. "Are you ok?" He asked, reaching out to grab Stormy's reins.

Bella let out a groan as she sat up and winced. "I don't think I'm riding anymore today." She replied as she gripped her ribcage.
Stormy snorted and nudged Skylar out of the way as she made her way toward Bella, as if wanting to protect her.
"Your choice, my lady." He said, bowing at her, before putting Truth's bridle on and following Cassandra.
