Kaila trotted Lyric through the woods. Her cousin Mark and his stallion Eddy trotted beside them. "Hey Lyric stop!" Kaila said nudging Lyric as she tried to lunge at Eddy. Lyric had a problem with stallions, and riding with other people helped Lyric settle down. "She is pretty wired today." Mark said holding Eddy back slightly so Lyric and Kaila could go ahead.

Kylie trotted Skittles down the long, dusty trail. All of a sudden, she heard voices. She remembered being told that all the trails on her property connected to the neighbors. "Neighbors", Kylie thought excitedly. She followed the sound of voices and came across two riders. A mare suddenly lunged towards the stallion that was riding with her. "Whoa boy", Kylie said to her anxious stallion, "we'd better keep our distance." Kylie walked Skittles up to the stallion staying clear of the mare. "Hi! My name's Kylie Williams and this is my stallion, Skittles. Who are you guys?"

Kaila reined Lyra in hand, and held her with her chin tucked in. "Hi. I'm Kaila, and this crazy goofball under me is Lyra." Kaila said, and clamped her legs against Lyra's sides as the mare tried to rear. She quickly got Lyra under control, and finally the mare stood still. Mark was quiet as he watched his cousin. Then he turned and smiled at the new girl, from under his helmet. "Hello. My name is Mark, and this is my stallion Eddy." Mark's accent was slightly british as he reached over to shake hands with the girl. Eddy stood quietly under him.

Kylie nodded to the girl, Kaila, and shook hands with Mark. "Mind if I join you", she asked, "Skittles here needs to take a break from training and, I thought that the trails might help him to relax. You see, I just got some mares, and he is going crazy over them!" Kylie laughed and patted Skittles neck.

Kaila laughed and nudged Lyra into a trot. She turned back slightly and called to the others. "I'll be back in a few, I just want to take Lyra to cool her off." Kaila smiled at them ,and trotted off, Lyra shaking her head. "You can join me. Kaila won't be back. She doesn't like when Lyra gets worked up. Then Lyra gets uncontrollable." Mark said. He nudged Eddy into an extended walk. While they were on the trail he was going to practice some of the dressage stuff with Eddy.

Kylie waved goodbye to Kaila and followed Mark. "Want to canter", Kylie asked. "I know of a few good logs that we can jump over. Skittles loves to jump. There's also a patch of sand next to the logs so you can practice your dressage." Kylie clucked her tongue and sent Skittles off in a canter. She looked back to see if Mark would follow.

Mark smiled at her. "I'm coming. Eddy is a three-day eventer. Exeapt he isn't so good at Dressage." Mark said as he cantered alongside Kylie.

Kylie smiled and led the way to the logs and sandy spot. Soon, the pair came across a stream. Kylie looked back, checking to make sure Mark was still there. "We just have to cross this stream and then the jumps and snand is right there", Kylie explained. Kylie backed Skittles and then nudged him into a canter. They went sailing over it. Kylie pulled Skittles reins back to make him slow down. She looked back to see how Mark would do.

Mark smirked when he saw the water. Eddy loved jumping water. It was the big stallion's favourite thing about cross-country. Mark nudged Eddy, and the stallion pricked his ears. He cantered towards the water, his front legs striking the ground. He took off, and flew across the water. When he landed quietly on the other side, he slowed and stopped beside Kylie. "Eddy loves water. Though he'd rather go through the water than ovre it." Mark smiled, and laughed as he loosened his reins, and Eddy trotted into the water. He splashed around in the water, Mark clinging to his neck.

Near the sand, Rover was working with Cinnabar on troting circles when he saw the other horses come up. "Hello" he said, "I hope I'm not in your way." Rover smiled at the riders, and he hoped Cinnabar would behave with new horses around.

Kylie smiled at the new rider and said, "Hi! My name's Kylie and this is my horse Skittles! Don't worry, I was just planning on taking Skittles over the jumps." Kylie looked at Mark to see what he had to say.

Rover looked at the riders and smiled. "Hi Kylie, my name is Rover. " Looking down at his horse. "And this is Cinnabar. I was just warming him up before we head out toward those jumps over there." pointing towards the jumps. "Cinnabar may be small but he likes to pop over smaller jumps, just for fun." Rover turned Cinnabar toward the jumps, "Do you mind if I ride along side?" Cinnabar snorted the air towards the other horses.

Mark smiled polietly at the new rider. "Hello there. My name is Mark, and this is my three-day event stallion Eddy." Mark reached over and stuck out his hand for Rover to shake it. Eddy tucked in his chin to his chest, and stood quietly, only moving slightly to keep Mark firmly in the saddle.

Rover shook Mark's hand "Hello Mark, Hello Eddy. You have a beautiful stallion there." Cinnabar sniffed toward the stallion, he then snorted. Rover laughed "I don't know what Cinnabar thinks, but I do believe he just said hello." Rover then turned Cinnabar on his hind toward the log jumps. "Now that we all know each other, I think is high time we head towards those jumps over there." Cinnabar lurched forward without being told. "I think Cinnabar is more then ready to go." Rover smiled as he cued Cinnabar into a canter and flew over the first log.
