I smiled and listened silently to them for a moment and then said. "Kay' lets go then! Marya needs a nice trail ride or else he's gonna be dancing for hours!" I said with a smile looking back and forth and of course Marya started to back up and half rear from standing still and then after a couple circles he calmed down a little bit but didn't drop his head or flick his ears towards me, he was so hyped out.

Sophie smiled happily, "Ok then, lets go then!" I said smiling happily. I stopped Heart, "What's wrong Kayla?" I said looking to her. I went back to Heart and squeezed her on, she didn't budge one bit, I tried again and she still didn't. I then looked around to see it something was affecting her, I looked to the trees and saw something dissapear into the bushes and then Heart walked on immedietly, I shook my head, "That was very wierd!" I said looking to the others.

Elvis jumped sideways a bit when Marya half reared and then started to prance. I patted him aand shooshed him, then looked up to see Heart wouldn't walk on, and then caught a glimpse of something in the trees. I rolled my eyes, really? All the horses were acting up, what was wrong? I looked to Sophie with my eyebrows scrunched and nodded. "Yeah, just a bit," Then Elvis perked his ears forward aand looked into the distance, near the area where I caught the glimpse of something. I walked him forward slowly after Heart and Sophie, and patted him whispering nonsense to him to keep him calm if anything else happened.

Sophie walked Heart on happily, we had to go past the area, as we approached it Heart started to walked sideways and prance around, I guided her forward with struggle and then the closest we got to the place a huge snake shot out of the hedge right infront of the path. Sophie hated snakes and was terrified of them. Heart reared of fright and because I was scared I feel backwards, and was neasrly slipping of when Heart was still rearing, I screeched and was nearly crying.

(Marya really does that half rear crap when he wants to go back to his field but he doesn't actually do it with me just anyone else who tries to ride him He likes testing others.) Marya's nostrils flared at the other horses and he whipped his head wanting to go, "easy boy." I whispered and started to follow the other when the horse reared. Marya's head flew up and if anyone else had been on him he would have hit them right in the nose. Crap! I snapped in my head trying to keep from paniking and kicked Marya forward past Britt. I stopped him and jumped off his back when I saw the snake, my brain was working on over drive on what to do. Come on Kayla think! I thought to myself and then called. "Sophie hold on!" I looked to the horse and took a deep breath and said, "Heart whoa, easy." I said to the rearing horse and then when I noticed there was enough room I kicked at the snake trying to get it back into the bushes. (Sorry I haven't replied here Was trying to think of a good post.)

Sophie was begining to fall off as Kayla told instruction and then I completely let go of the reigns and then I grabbed the pommel of the saddle griping so tightly and terrified, Heart whinned loudly and then as soon as the snake was out of the way Heart bolted straigth down the path, I held as tight as I could and was so scared, Heart had never done anything like this before. I screeched, "HELP ME!" I said screeching, I managed to gather the reigns but had absolute no control, then when I wasn't expecting it Heart dodged sideways and cut sharply down a path on a tight right turn. I cam flying out of then saddle and screemed. I landed in a heap on the flaw, "Owww!" I screeched.

I didn't know what to do, all I could do was keep Elvis steady and pacing in one place. I had my mouth open in an oh-my-god kind of way and watched as Heart bolted, turned right, and Sophie fell. I panicked and thought, then looked down to Elvis. Did I trust him enough to go looking for a bolting horse and keep him calm? I sighed and yelled back to Kayla. "Can you make sure Sophie's okay?!" I yelled over my shoulder. I hadn't even nudged Elvis, as soon as the reins loosened he cantered off fast, it was more like a slow gallop than a canter. I talked nonsense to him and kept talking into a soothing voice though. I had to keep him calm and had to find Heart, there was a chance she would get even more scared if she heard us coming behind her which could spook Elvis which would make it ten times worse. Elvis seemed to know we were after something and all of a sudden flicked his ears forward and galloped a bit faster. As Heart came into view I slowed him down, fast enough so we wouldn't loose her but slow enough we wouldn't creep up on her. My mind was fuzzed and I couldn't think. I had to get Heart and pony her back to Sophie but I had to get her and keep both horses calm. I was still trying to think when Elvis whinnied to Heart. I smiled, hopefully she would whinny back and know we werent going to hurt her so I could get her without spooking either of them even more.

I cursed under my breath trying not to panic, I mean I had basicly grown up on a race horse ranch I knew this kind of thing! Think Kayla think! I yelled in my mind and quickly jumped back Marya as soon as Britt yelled to me but didn't yell back, I kicked Marya forward and he slid to a stop next to Sophie. I jumped off his back and to Sophie and quickly dropped down to my knees and said. "Sophie! Are you okay? Is anything broken?" I asked trying to stay calm and not panic, I could stay calm with anything horse but when it came to a rider falling off there horse and getting hurt I almost lost my freaking mind. I looked down the trail but couldn't see Britt or Heart anymore and hopped they'd all be okay and that Britt's horse wouldn't spook or anything like that, which was what I was also really worried about. I looked back down to Sophie spoke a bunch of nonesense to myself trying to figure something out. "How bad are ya hurt?" I asked still looking for someone who might be of some more help with this kind of thing.

Sophie lay there, she ached. Heart whinned back to Elvis and slowed slightly but not to much, she was still freaked. Sophie slightly sat up and then leaned against the log, "I dunno, everything kinda aches, it was a pretty hard fall!" I said softly and weakly.

I looked back real quick, I couldn't even see the others anymore. I hoped that Sophie was okay. Heart whinnied back and slowed a bit, I patted Elvis and smiled. "Yes, Good Boy!" I said with a smile, he whinnied again. I just hoped it was enough to slow her to atleast a trot or get her to walk to us, If the reins went over her head then... I stopped thinking about it and clucked to Heart after Elvis had whinnied, I didn't want to try something and spook her more but I had to get her quick and pony her back to Sophie, Kayla, and Marya. Elvis had all of his attention on Heart and me, it was like he knew how important the situation was.

I heard the horses whinnying and ignored them and just kept my eyes on Sophie. I bit my lip when she said it was a hard fall. I looked around for anyone else to help but I guess I was as good as anyone to deal with this situation. "Okay, does anything hurt extra bad? Like bad enough that you can't even barely touch or move it? And did you hit your head when you fell?" I asked thinking that if she had then she might have a concussion.

Heart slowed to a trot steadily and then whinned to Elvis, it was a scared whine, that needed a friend. Sophie shook her head, "I'm ok, I think. I did whack my head on the log, but i think i'm ok" I siad rubbing my leg. I thought I was definitely gonna have a bruse there because I whacked my thigh on a sharp sticking out bit on the log and then whacked my head when I slipped.

I looked back again, but still couldnt see them. I hoped Sophie was okay. I looked back to Heart, she whinnied back again. It was a scared whinny and I urged Elvis to a trot, we slowly and steadily came up close enough to heart so that I could grab a rein if I needed too. I was still worried and being a bit cautious about it, so I clucked to her, see ing if she would allow me to pony her back. I slowed Elvis to a fast walk hoping Heart would follow. Elvis was still being perfect, listening to everything I asked him to do and staying calm. I focused on Heart, trying hard to stay calm and to resist the urge to jump for it and grab her reins to pony her back. I clucked again and put my palm out to her like I had a treat.

I heard the horses in the distance and ignored it only keeping my attention on Sophie, worried that she might have had a concussion. "Okay is there any spots in your vision? I mean besides the advoice little ones from the fall? Are you dizzy?" I asked quickly, I knew a lot about concussions cause everyone knew T got them enough times. I shook my head and waited for Sophie's answer hopping she was okay.

Heart reacted to Bliss, She slowed and turned and followeds Elvis, She trusted him, a lot. Sophie widened her eyes, "Nah nothing, i fell a little wobbly, but i think it's just the shook, I think i need to get back and have a rest" I said rubbing my leg. My leg was quite saw, I needed a nice sleep and rest and an ice pack on my leg.

Britt A huge, goofy smile came across my face when Heart turned and followed after me and Elvis. I turned Elvis and let him walk a little ways back to where we had come from. I was going to lket Heart just follow us back to the others, but I decided against it and carefully reached as far over as I could and gently grabbed here reins, pulling them over her head. I held them in one hand loosely, but with a good grip thinking of the snake again. Elvis snorted to her and I smiled, hoping that I could get Heart back to Sophie safely and they would both be fine.

I frowned looking at Sophie. "Okay here let me help you up, at least we weren't already way out in the woods when this happened." I said gently gripping her arm. I thought a moment and said. "Okay but just take my advice on one thing no laying down or sleeping for a little while. Cause sometimes after you hit your head that can be dangerous." I said.

Heart hesitatied a bit and pulled back as Kayla took the reigns but then Heart walked forward again. Sophie looked at Britt, "Yeah, lets get back!" I said smiling happily, Sophie nodded at Britt and then stood up slowely and looked around for Heart.

Britt~ I bit my lip and I could feel my heart start to pund when Heart decided to pull back and hesitate, but let out a breath as she started to walk forward again. I calmed down and kept an eye on Heart, talking a bunch of nonsense in a baby voice to her and Elvis. She seemed to be okay walking forward after us, I was sure she was still a little cautious and scared after the snake encounter but I was happy she was walking foward. Elvis and I lead her around a few trees and Sophie and Kayla came into view again. Kayla was helping Sophie up, and Sophie began to look around, probably for Heart. I smiled in relief, thank god Sophie and Heart were okay. (The one leading Heart back is Britt, the one helping Sophie is Kayla )

I smiled and looked around to see where Marya was, he was standing off in a near by patch of grass not even seeming to realize that anything had happened. I smiled to myself and nodded i agreemeant with Sophie. "Yes lets get back." I said looking behind me when I heard Britt coming with the horses.

(I said Britt last reply and the one before but its all good xD Ik what you mean )
I lead Heart and Elvis up towards the others and as Heart started to prance Elvis started walking faster. I tightened the reins, knowing if I loosened my grip on them he would burst out galloping, I knew the feeling and had been tooken off with a lot before. I let him walk fast though, and I could tell by the way Heart was prancing she was fine and didn't get hurt from what I could see. I kept a tight grip on Elvis's reins as we approached Sophie and Kayla and reached down to hand Heart's reins to Sophie. I smiled and almost laughed. "Well I don't think a trail ride would be such a good idea now," I said. I was most laughing from relief that everyone was okay. It was a bit scary chasing after a bolting horse on a new, young horse.

I smiled looking to the other horses as Britt came back and sighed in relief that the mare was okay. I had been worried about the mare, I glanced at Marya who still have a care in the world. I smiled and nodded to Britt. "Yeah I think I agree with you!" I said with a smile and then looked around. "So you guys wanna put the horses up and retire to the lounge?" I asked with a smile to both of them.

Sophie giggled slightly at Britt's little joke, I took Heart and took hold of the reigns and mounted up slowely and carefully. I nodded to Britt, "No, it doesn't seem like a good one now, if i wasn't for the snake, it would have been fine, i hate snakes!" I said. I patted Heart happy that she was ok and then hugged her for being a good girl. Sophie nodded, "Yeah, lets go hang out in the lounge, i need a hot chocolate bad now, It's getting cold, how bout you guys?" I said looking to Britt and Kayla. I smiled to Kayla, "Thanks for helping me Kayla!" I said smiling.

I smiled to Kayla happily and laughed a bit. "Yeah, the lounge is a must," I said ith a grin. After I thought about it though, I kind of wanted to just hang out with Elvis. He would be fine and I could walk him around oon the ground later after the lounge. I nodded to Sophie. "Oh my gosh yes, a hot chocolate would be amazing!" I said happily, imagining the taste of the warm, delicious, hot chocolate. I felt a pang of jealousy at Sophie thanking Kayla fo rhelping her and not me for getting her horse. I didnt say anything and kept the smile on my face, the fact that Heart was okay was good enough. Elvis snorted, her seemed to be getting a little impatient just standing there. I hugged his neck. "You are getting the biggest carrot I can find once we get back to the barn!" I said happily.

I laughed and nodded to the others walking over and pulling myself up onto Marya's back. "Yeah well where I grew up being afraid of snakes wasn't an option ya had." I said with a smile holding Marya up. I laughed and nodded, "Sounds great I could use something hot to dink as long as its not cocoa." I said with a smile, I detested that stuff. I smiled and nodded to Sophie. "Don't mention it anyone would have done it, being able to get Heart on the other hand might not have been as easy." I said giving Britt a smile. Helping people was easy but getting spooked out horse to stop running and come back willingly that earned stars in my book. "Come on let's get these guys back cause its getting cold." I said with a smile.

Sophie smiled to Kayla and Britt, "Deffinitely the lounge then!" I said giggling, The hot chocolates were deffinitely a yes then. Sophie smiled and looked to Britt, "Thanks to you too, you know, for catching Heart" I said smiling to her, I was really greatful to have two great friends. Sophie patted Heart happily and was smiling happily that she was ok. Sophie looked to Kayla, "Were there snakes everywhere then?" I said, "I wouldn't have been able to cope at all!" I said grinning then patting Heart again happily. Sophie smiled to Kayla and Britt then walked Heart on happily.

I smiled to Kayla and then to Sophie, now mad at myself for being jealous of not being thanked. "IT was fine, not too hard. Actually it was mostly Elvis, he was whinnying to her and she slowed down a bit and she tried pulling back once but she just followed on after Elvis," I said with a happy smile. "She's a really good horse." I added to Sophie. She may have spooked and bolted like that, but it took a horse a lot of self control to calm itself down and walk back to a person like that. I walked Elvis, urging him forward, and looked back to the others. "Come on, to the lounge! After we groom the horses and put them away...." I said pointing a finger to the direction of the lounge eagerly. I wqas eager to go relax in the lounge, I had only been there once to work on a scrapbook I was making of Ivy.

Sophie smiled to Britt and Kayla, they were great friends! Sophie smiled to Britt, "Thanks! Elvis is great too and so is Marya!" I said smiling happily. Sophie nodded and then trotted Heart on eargily to the stables, I couldn't wait to get some warmth down me.

I laughed and clucked my tongue to ask Marya to trot, he did as asked. I looked to Britt and Sophie and said. "Both your horses are great! And by the way Marya used to be one of the biggest pain in the butts ever!" I said laughing thinking of all the horsemanship training we went through and were still going through, he hated backing up for some reason so he was still learning that part. When we got back to the yard I pulled Marya's right rein asking for a stop and he ran in circles for a moment and then stopped and dropped his head to the pressure, I dropped the rein and patted him. "Good boy!" I said leaning down and hugging him.
