Cody Pranced around in his Natalie until Natalie came to tack him up. Once they were ready Natalie warmed him up over a couple of jumps.


" Natalie Harris and Caught In The Middle"

" Let Go" Natalie whispered as the walked into the Arena. After amking a circle they canter toward the first jump. Cody snapped his knees and pushed off with his powerful hind legs. The crowd began to clap, his ear sswivled toward the sound " Pay attention" Natalie Murmured. Cody shook his head and cleared the next with ease. Natalie eased him forward saoring over the line of jumps. They picked up the pace as the last one neared, and jumped it together.

Val eyed a beautiful grey horse leaping over the fences down below in the arena. Yasmine was excitable again but this time Val had her under control. She had the mare tacked up with her new saddle and bridle so that they could ride around and have a look at the horses participating. Suddenly Yasmine reared up and began to charge at the gate of the arena in which the grey had just finished the course of jumps. Valentia helplessly clung onto the galloping horse and quickly vaulted onto her back so she could slow her sown more easily. Before she knew it they were inside the arena. Yasmine gave two enormous bucks of excitement and began to canter towards the jumps. Val had given up slowing her down and let her continue. "Could you leave the arena immedietly!" the annocument sounded. The sudden noise spooked Yasmine a few strides before the fence so she rushed, resulting in a fallen fence. Val was undettered, she remebered the course from watching the other riders and headed towards a staggaringly high upright. Val collected her canter as she began to rush again and they soared over the red and white poles. Next up was a oxer made of four brightly coloured blue poles. Yasmine bucked again with eargerness, "Yasmine, pack it in!!" Val cried. The mare must have heard as she began to focus and headed towards the fence. Finally, there was a double and another upright. Yamine cleared them with ease and gave a triumphant whinny as she galloped out of the arena. Val wanted to get away from the show as quickly as posssible and hoped that nobody had seen her face and recognised her. Yamsie leapt up onto a bank at the end of the show ground and headed roughly towards the direction of willow creek.

The young bay stallion pranced on the spot as his rider sat watching the first competitors. Sssh boy Lizzie crooned softly, stroking her horse. As the competitor rode out of the ring with 4 faults, Lizzie rode into the practice ring. There were two more competitors before her. She popped over the jump a couple of times before raising it slightly and taking Milo over it a couple more times. Happy that he was warmed up enough, Lizzie watched the competitor just before herself, Natalie Harris the loudspeaker announced. Lizzie watched with interest as the horse and rider completed the course. They would take some beating if this were a real show. However, it was just a schooling show so places were not awarded. Still, she was confident with how Milo was going at the moment. She was about to ride into the arena for her turn when a horse suddenly tore in, its rider out of control completely. When they were told to leave, they didnt and the rider didnt seem to care. At last they had left and as they rode past me and out of the grounds I frowned. I'm sure I've seen her somewhere before... she muttered to herself before nudging Milo into the area to being their round.

Next up is Elizabeth Johnson and Luna Land Marque

The bell rang and Lizzie turned her stallion to the first fence, ignoring the 'oohs' and 'aaahs' from the crowd as they admired Milo. They were over the first fence in a matter of seconds and charging on to the next. Jump, turn, jump, turn. He cleared every jump as though he had wings. As the final fence loomed, Lizzie touched her heels to Milo's sides, asking for a tad more impulsion. The bay holsteiner responded quickly and jumped the final fence with ease. Lizzie patted his neck as she rode out of the arena whilst the crowd cheered for what had been a great, fast round.
