(oh sorry, is that wrong??)
I watched Her and Ivy go over the course, they were really good and a fab team. "Yeah!..... yeah... it..... was..." I said not wanting her to know i hadn't done it. I walked Ruby in big circles to cool her down a little.

(It's fine her name is Britt hahhaha(: )
I played with my reins between my fingers and took my feet out of the stirrups, stretching my legs out. I sensed some unease, she probably just lost a stirrup or soemthing again. I thought quick and bit my lip. 'Well, I guess we should cool them down, I don't want Ivy to get too tired," I said patting Ivy. Ivy didn't look like she was tired at all, except for the bit of sweat flanked in her coat. She would keep going until she couldn't take anymore, I knew that. Then she would go into a fit of bucks. As if reading my mind, Ivy gave a tiny buck. It wasn't enough to throw me of, it just threw me off gaurd. I landed up on her neck and ignored it, not paying it any attention. I walked Ivy in circles to give her something to do other than buck.

(oh, hahahaha,lol)
I sighed, "Yeah, why don't we walk them down to the lake to get a drink and then walk back!" I smiled.

(hahahha)
"alrighty," I answered. I turned Ivy in the direction of the lake and she started trotting. I didn't stop her but I made sure she couldn't and wouldnt canter. I never took Ivy in water before that wasn't on a cross country course. It made sense that she wanted to start galloping towards it. As we came closer and Ivy saw how big it was she slowed down, growing confused. I patted Ivy to reassure her and she kept up her pace, glancing back at Ruby and Sophie every now and then uncertaintly.

I smiled and trotted Ruby on towards the lake.As I approached the clearing where the lake was i slowed Ruby down to a walk i halted her by a tree with a low branch on and she threw in a big buck because she wanted to get get into the water, it was a really hot day so i couldn't blame her. I dismounted and ran up my stirrups and unbuckled the girth, i pulled the saddle off and placed it over the low branch. I then stood on the branch, it was very solid, i pulled myself onto Ruby and she then threw in another buck, she threw me forward a bit but no more, I stood and waited for Bliss.

I looked at Ivy, then to Sophie and Ruby with uncertainty. I sighed and dismounted. I rolled up the stirrups and crossed them, took off the saddle pads, and unbuckled the girth. I hung it on a low branch next to Sophie's and looked at Ivy. Shelooked to me, as if she was expecting me to mount. "No no no, I'm not falling for that look," I said with a giggle to Ivy. I took the reins above her head and lead her over to the edge of the lake. It wasn't very deep right there, so we walked in. Ivy looked around curiously and lowered her muzzle to the water, then sneezeed. I smiled at her. She shook her mane and tried to buck, but the water was to dense and she gave up on bucking, settling with a snort and a shake of her mane. I jumped up and used her mane to hop onto her back. "Thaaaats better," I said pattiing Ivy's flank and smiling.

I walked Ruby on into the water, we were fine, i'd done this before with her. I patted her as she hoofed the water enjoyebly. I walked her on a bit more and she was absolutely fine, she put her head down or a drink and gulped up a load of water.

Ivy watched Ruby and lowered her head to look at the water. She slowly gulped up some water andjerked her head back looking at it. I laughed at her. "Good job girl," I said with a luagh patting her.

I smiled to Bliss, "Do you want to do some of the jumps at the edge of the lake bare back?" Sophie said smiling.

(Britttt bahahahhaa it;s alrighttt)
I smiled. "I'll watch you and coach you a bit, I don't know how good Ivy would do with them." I felt a slight movement in my pocket and wuickly took out my phone before it would get louder. I bit my lip and looked to Sophie apolegetically. "Umm... I have to take this, it's my dad," I said quickly. My face got red and I answered my phone. I whispered into the phone quickly. "Dad, i'm riding right now, I can't really talk," I said with a hint of annoyance. He quickly spoke, first apologizing but then talking about how he had to give me an early christmas present and how they would be out of state for christmas and he had to do it now, he would be here in an hour and a half. I smiled to myself, but hid it. What present could be so important they would bring it all the way out here? "Alright, I'll be in the parking lot or the stables with a horse named Ivy, just call me when you get here," I said smiling into the phone and sighing. We said goodbye and I waited for him to hang up first, in case he needed to say anything else. I wasn't sure if I heard right or not, but it sounded like he said 'you better get a stall ready' before he hung up. I sighed happily but didn't get my hopes up. "On second thought, sure. We can go one on a time and watch eachother. Don't take any jumps you don't feel ready for though," I said with a hint of warning in my voice. I use to push myself in front of people because I was embarassed before if I didn't jump everything in my way when I was first learning cross country. I took a jump that I knew both me and my horse weren't ready for, and I ended up breaking my arm. Luckily, the horse was fine besides a gash on his side. I felt horrible, and I learned that lesson the hard way.
(I have alot of muse today lol)

(sorry!!!!!!!!, wow you wrote absolutely loads!!!!)
Sophie smiled, "Umm.... why don't we both do them!" I said smiling, i hated being coached by people the same age as me, but i didn't want to me mean and show it, so i didn't. I waited for Britt to finish on the phone, i smiled when she put it down, I patted Ruby and smiled.

(It's aightt. And yeaaa hahahha(: I was in a good mood and yeaaa(: I didnt even realize it was that muchh!)
I bit my lip and looked down at Ivy, patted her and looked to the jumps. "Actuallllly, why don't we just have fun doing this one and just not competitiveness or anything, I just wanna have fun with Ivy right now," I said with a slight smile. "Oh, and sorry bout the call, they're bringing something and," I shut my mouth for a second. I really didn't want to get my hopes up, but what else could he have said? "It sounded like he said 'you better get a stall ready'" I said finishing. I smiled awkwardky at Sophie waiting to see what she thought.

(Hahahaha yeaaa, im in a good mood right now too but I dont have that much time lol)
I smiled at Sophie. Thank god I wasn't the only one that thought that. "Of course, as long as you ask before you don anything," I said with a smile and a wink. I looked at all the jumps and bit my lip and thought for a moment, looking at the different jumps. "I don't really care, I can jump anything right now!" I said with a small laugh. I did like a ditch near the edge, and a pretty high bush, there was also a small section where a puddle formed that was small enough to jump, but big enough to be a challenge. I looked to them and looked back at Sophie.

(lol!)
Sophie
I smiled happily back to Britt, "Ohh! thanks Britt!!, what the price limit?" I said smiling excited for her. I giggled and smiled looking at the jumps confidently, "I'll go first!" Sophie said Trotting Ruby on confidently and then turned her in a big circle, on the circle i asked her to canter, i got a lovely transition and then headed for the ditch. Ruby leaped it perfectly and cleared it easily, I then flew over the brush fence with space left, then headed over to the small puddle kinda thing and Ruby was about to spin around but then i urged her forward and she flew over it, i circled her back towards Britt and Ivy and went on a flat out canter back past the jumps to Britt, i slowed down to a trot then walk and then halted by Britt.
(i'm feeling in a good mod to!)

I giggled a little. "By the sound of it, he's bringing a horse. Im happy. After we're done with this I think I'll go set some stuff up, maybe head out to the store if I have time so I can spend some time with the horse," I said with a huge smile. I Watched Sophie go over the course, she looked happy and she brought Ruby back quick. "That was amazing! Great job bringing Ruby back and urging her over the puddle, that was awesome!" I said happily clapping my hands together. "Alright, my turn," I looked eagerly at the jumps and gathered my reins. I shoved my heels down, got a good grip around Ivy's sides with my legs, and urged her forward into a canter. Ivy loved jumping ditches, and jumped it without a problem, our takeoff wasn't too early or late like before. I gave her a quick pat and clucked to her, urging her towards the brush. These were my favorite. We jumped over it without a problem, Ivy threw her mane and whinnied heading towards the puddle thing. I gave Ivy room to eye it, she looked a little confused as to what it was. I shoved my heels down further and secured my legs around Ivy's sides, up in the two point position. Ivy lowered her head down to eye the jump, but jumped the puddle anyways without hesitation. I was unbalanced a bit, but I was happy. I dropped the reins on Ivy's neck and dropped my stirrups, guiding Ivy and slowing her down next to Sophie. I circled my ankles around stretching them out, and did big arm circles. Ivy stayed still, she looked happy with the last good ride. It was a great last ride with Ivy if it came down to that, so I patted her and gave her a hug around the neck, kissiing her shoulder. "Ivy, your awesome," I chuckled happily to her.
(Hahaha, good moods do wonders on our posts(: )

Sophi
I smiled to her, i was happy for her, it sounded like it was her birthday! Sophie sighed a little looking away from Britt, "That's great!, i'll help you if you like!" I smiled as she comented, "Thanks, we work as a great team!" I said smiling, i watched Britt go over the course she worked well with Ivy,"Nicely done Britt!" I said smiling to her.

I smiled back to Sopjie happily. I gave Sophie a nod as I patted Ivy. "Dang, I hope I work as good with the new horse as I do Ivy," I said hugging Ivy around the neck, not wanting to let go. "I think we should give them a break though. That way I can spend time with Ivy on the ground," I said looking down at Ivy, calmly sitting there as if she knew it would be our last time together. (No muse :/ )

I shrugged and smiled again. "Nothing, it's just this whole thing reminds me of when I was younger and switched barns. It's nothing," I said with a smile and started to take Ivy in circles. I really didn't wanna talk about it. My favorite horse and I were having a lesson today, and he was acting all sad and droopy, almost like he knew. I spent alot of time with him and said I would be back, but I never had the chance. It's different though, I'll still be at the same barn as IVy. I smiled and patted her. I was olde enough now that I could choose what I did and when I saw her. I patted her happily and stretched back.

Sophie looked to her and worked i out, "So your changing to a more advanced horse, don't be sad, you'll still be able to ride Ivy and groom her and stuff!" Sophie said hopefully cheering her up.

I smiled to Sophie. "Yeah your right, it's not like me or Ivy are going anywhere..." I said happily. I patted Ivy. I was even more excited now, the pang of guilt now gone. I patted Ivy and hugged her. "You know your still my favorite girl," I said smiling and patting her. I checked my watch. They would be here in two hours. I smiled and resisted the urge to jump and run to the barn.

I smiled back gently, "No your not, you'll be togeather forever!, Ivy will always be your girl! So are you getting 1 or 2" Sophie said smiling glad she'd made Britt feel better, I patted Ruby and smiled.

I smiled happily, and turned Ivy to walk back towards the barn. "For sure, number one girl." i smiled happily and patted Ivy again while walking her back to the barn. I smiled and laughed a little. "Horses? Definitely one." I smiled happily. I wondered if my dad had already gotten the horse or he was coming to pick it out with me. I just shrugged, atleast I was getting one.

When we arrived at the stables, I dismounted Ivy slowly and then rolled her stirrups up. "Alright, so we can untack and groom them, then we'll meet at the front of the barn and you can help get a stall ready?" I suggested. Ivy snorted and bobbed her head. I smiled to her. "Hey Ivy, you're gonna get a new friend, you know that?" I smiled and patted her. I lead her to the barn and put her in some crossties. I removed her saddle and saw that she was a bit sweaty. I took off the bridle which she was happy to be rid of, put the halter on, and put her in the crossties. I ran to the tack room and started to scrub her tack clean quickly then put it on the racks.

Sophie
I smiled, I dismounted Ruby gently and cearfully, ran my stirrups up and took hold of the reigns softly in my hand, "Yep ok sure, i'll see you in a little bit!" I said smiling, i walked into the barn and un did Ruby's girth and then slipped the saddle of and put it over the stable door, i slipped the bridle of and layed that over my saddle, i quickly slipped Ruby's head collar on and then tied her up my the stable, i took my tack to the tack room and then placed the bridle on the hook and the saddle on the stand. I grabbed my grooming box and then took it back to Ruby. She was a little sweaty, i ran a body brush over her and got of all the sweat and absolutely all the mud and wet water of Ruby. The wind was breezing outside and it was getting a little chilly, Ruby was a little clipped, I threw gently a lite weight field rug over her and did all the buckles and started to lead Ruby out to the field.

I grabbed my grooming box and got to work on Ivy. I rubbed her coat in circles with the curry comb, then ran over it with a dandy brush. I carefully cleaned off her legs, face, and body with a soft brush and threw it back into the grooming box. I quickly picked out Ivy's hooves, which she snorted and huffed but tolerated anyways. I quickly picked out pieces of hay and stuff out of her tail and combed her mane, then stood back to examing her gleaming coat. "I think you look okay," I said to her smiling. Ivy whinnied and bobbed her head. I smiled and laughed at heer, then led her out to the field. I gave her a carrot and off she went, galloping down into the field. "Good," I said smiling. "I hope you don't miss me, enjoy yourself." I smiled to her and turned, then ran back to the barn remembering my own horse was coming.

I smiled, I got to the field and took the head collar off, I gave Ruby a carrot, she took it gently and nicely and then galloped of to the other side of the field to the biggest patch of grass, i laughed and smiled, i shut the gate and then ran back to the barn.

Britt I kept an eye out for Sophie, and when I saw her I smiled. "Alright, so I guess we could just find an epty stall, put some hay and straw in there, just get it ready and comfortable," I said with a small shrug and a smile. (sorry its so short im in a rush..:/ )
