Ella led her mare gently towards the training ring.Natsha was due any day now.She gently flicked the lunging cavasson on her arm onto Nattie.Nattie flinched."Easy girl"Natsha stood next to Ella until Ella pushed her gently towards the edge of the ring.Nattie went the rest of the way herself.Ella smiled."Walk on girl" Natahsa broke into a steady walk and circled the arena quite quickly."Woah,"Ella pulled a little tighter on the lunging rope so Nattie didnt go so fast.Nattie responded and slowed a little.

I walked down to the ring leading Rosie. I was planning on just riding her a little more to get her confidence up, although so far she was coming along well. She was still a little bit shy, but she'd begun to trust me a lot more now. I smiled as she nickered aloud, then noticed she was whinnying to another horse. "d*mn," I muttered to myself. If the ring ws already occupied, I'd have to ride Rosie somewhere else. I recognised Ella and decided to go and say hi anyway. Walking slowly so I didn't spook the mare she was lunging, I walked to the edge of the ring and smiled, letting Rosie graze as I talked to Ella. "Hey," I grinned to her.

Ella continued to lunge Her mare.Ella lenthed the lunge rope a little,letting nattie have a free walk.Ella then tightened them slightly and gave the command."C'mon girl.Trot on"Nattie hesitated and stayed in a walk,just going into a faster one."C'mon girl!Trot on"Nattie hesitated again then did a couple of strides of trot then slowed back to a walk."Nattie!Come on.Trot on!"Natasha picked up a trot and managed one lap then slowed down again,but when ella asked again she did another lap of slow trot.Ella sighed.At this rate,she would be here all day.
Ella was trying to get Nattie to trot properly when a whinny rang in her ears.Ella looked towards Nattie,it hadnt come from her.Ella looked around and spotted rose.Then she saw Grace.Ella laughed.Then after Grace greeted her,she replied"Hey Grace.I didnt see you there"She smiled."IM just lunging Nattie cos she's due to give birth any day now"

I watched as Ella made Natasha trot around the ring, and laughed. The mare was looking like she had no inclination of trotting around a ring all day. I grinned when Ella finally noticed me. "Awesome!" I said to her, only then noticing that Nattie did look very pregnant. "I didn't know she was having a foal!" I smiled to her. "I was gonna give Rosie a ride, she hasn't had a workout for a while and I'm worried she might start forgetting all she's learned." I laughed and stroked the mare's neck, noticing proudly that she didn't shy away from my touch anymore.

I smiled. "Nah that's okay, you can give her a bit longer. I'll warm Rosie up out here, and maybe then we can swap?" I suggested. "You were here first, you don't have to move," I laughed to Ella. Rosie snorted, then lifted her head from the grass and slung her neck over the edge of the fence. She whinnied to Nattie, pricking her ears forward towards Ella's expecting mare. (Haha yeahh )

"Thanks.I'll just try to get atleast a full proper lap of faster trot and then you can come in.I'll go next door,in the next ring.Or you can go to the ring next door,i dont mind"Ella smiled then tightneded the lunging rope,"C'mon.Trot on girl"Nattie refused then went into a plodding trot.Ella laughed."Nattie!"She smiled then asked her again."Nattie bluntly refused and stopped.Ella walked over to the side of the ring to get the lunging whip,but before she touched it,nattie bound into a faster trot,and did 2 laps."Ella laughed."Nattie"She looked to grace"She doesnt like the whip"

I nodded, smiling. Pulling down Rosie's stirrups, I mounted her slowly, letting my weight settle gently on her back. She tensed, then relaxed a moment later. "Good girl," I murmured, stroking her shoulder comfortingly. I gently squeezed her sides with my legs, walking her around outside the ring. Every now and then I'd catch a glimpse of Ella managing to get Nattie trotting around the ring. I smiled at what she said. "Yeah, Rosie's the same," I laughed to Ella.

"Aww, poor baby," I murmured. "But at least it makes her go," I laughed. I shook my head to Ella. "No that's alright, you stay here and I'll pop into the next ring," I said, walking Rosie onwards. I leaned down and flicked the latch on the gate, proud that Rosie didn't even flinch. "Good girl," I said to her, pushing her through the gate and closing it behind us. I let her walk on a long rein around the ring, stopping every now and then and doing little half-circles to change the rein. Rosie looked around, interested in her surroundings, but she stayed responsive. "Ready for a little trot, booboo?" I asked her. Gently shortening my reins, I drove Rosie forward more with my seat and then closed my legs around her sides. She broke hesitantly into a trot, still a little unsure. "Keep it up, trot on, good girl," I said to her, talking constantly in a bubbly voice. Rosie kept up her trot, even if it was a little awkward and uncoordinated at times. "And walk," I said slowly, sitting to her trot and letting out a deep breath. Rosie slowed, then dropped back to a walk, flicking her ears back as she tried to make sense of my aids.

Ella grinned "Thnks."She smiled and watched as Grace worked Rosie in the next ring.She drew nattie to a stop and walked towards her.She patted the mare."Good girl.I'll get you a drink and then come back"Ella tied nattie up and then dissapeared back to the barn.She returned with a bucket of water and some apple for nattie.

(Alrighty I saw Ella leave, so I kept an eye on Nattie as I walked Rosie around the ring. Once she was back, I pushed Rosie into a small trot again, going for only a lap around the ring until I brought her back down. "Good girl," I said to her, walking her around again.

"Aww. I am Shera." Shera stood against the rail and smiled at the mare. She was beautiful and no doubt would have a beautiful foal.

Charlie walked out of the barn, exciting Firefly's stall. She saw a group of people around the training ring. She jogged up to them. She only knew a few people, but it would be a good way to meet some new people.
Charlie said, "Hi, everyone!" She gave a polite smile and waved to everyone.
