Zoey and Shadow trotted down to Jumping ring, had been waiting to start jumping her beloved mare, she bit her lip and paused looking over the jumps that were already here they weren't very high about 2 and half at the most, Shadow wouldn't shy at them, she went to a mounting block and swung up on to her horse, and walked her around a bit till she was sure she was warmed up, and then moved her to a nice slow trot and then a canter, Shadow was a lazy horse, but if you got her jumping it was hard to handle her, as she approached her first jump, Shadow pricked her ears forward and snorted, Z sunk into the saddle she knew what was coming, as Shadow cleared the jump she went into one of her bucking fits they weren't that bad, not if you knew her, Z tightened her rains, "whoa, girl, calm down," she coed her mare and when she was done with her bucking, Z cooled her out and started walking around again and then slowly worked her back up jumping this time, Shadow flew over every one with such pride, and the way she moved it was like floating on air, "that was great girl, want to go again," she asked, and in answer Shadow threw a small crow hop, "Jeez what's with you today," she asked, Shadow never had problems with bucking, not like this anyway, so she took her around one more time, and this time Shadow didn't throw any bucks, Z leaned down and started patting her on the neck, "good job girl," and she started cooling her out.  |

Molly walked down the long trail that connected her barn to Willow Springs. She was riding Monopoly, her horse Molly's eight-year-old son. Her eyes focused forwards as she moved onwards at a comfortable walk. She was wearing a white tank-top and black riding pants. Seated in a dark brown saddle, she dodged rock and logs. Mo's stifle injury made her cautious about stepping wrong. Monopoly's muscules rippled as he stepped on the dirt path. A slight breeze blew through the forest and allowed it's leaves to float and twist in the air and land softly on the ground. Mo's eyes darted around when he felt leaves tickle his back. Bouncing sideways, he whinnied in a worried tone. "Good boy Monopoly, it's alright." Molly cooed to her gelding as she let him move down the trail.

as she walked Shadow around the ring cooling her out she thought to herself, 'we did pretty good today' and while she thought about how good Shadow did with the jumps, all of the sudden Shadow sent a very big buck, that almost sent her flying to the ground, and while she regained control of her horse, she knew what had caused Shadow to spook, both had heard it a horse whinny, Z wasn't sure who was more spooked by the sudden sound her or Shadow, after Shadow was holding still she started looking around to see where the sound had come from and then she saw a horse on a trail just coming into sight, she turned Shadow and had her walk slowly to the edge of the arena closest to the trail, she didn't want to spook either horse, "was that your horse?" she asked, cruise at why the horse had whinnied like that, she looked the horse over he was a nice looking horse parable a Morgan or Morgan cross she thought, and looked at both the horse and the girl riding him both seemed fine, she thought while she waited for a reply.

Molly looked up from under her velvet riding hat. "Yeah, this is Monopoly and I am Molly. What's you name?" She had never seen this girl before but she usual wasn't this close to the other riding school. It was nice, she had to admit. It was nice but she liked Starry Skys more. She wished that Sam, her best friend, was there with her. She felt Monopoly jump back when the girl came over. Never getting over the other horse, he pranced under Molly's body. "It's okay Mo. It's alright." She breathed the words in a calming voice. Her eyes set on the girl near her as she smiled.

Zoey smiled "Hi, I'm Z and this Shadow," she said, pointing down at her mare, Monopoly seemed a bit jittery, so she pulled on her rains a bit backing Shadow a bit, hopping that would calm the other horse down a bit, she hadn't seen Molly before and she was pretty sure she didn't go to Willow Springs but hey she had only been for a few days, "do you board here?" she asked, patting Shadow on the neck, and looking up again she traced her scared check, this was her habit and she has yet to drop it.

Molly smiled, "She is pretty! No, I board at Starry Skys. I am guessing you board here!" Her eyes looked up at the sky then back down to the girl. "What kind of riding do you do?"

Z smiled, "thanks, she's a paint arab TB, he's pretty too, I'm guessing a morgan" she said, nodding towards the other horse, she had been around a lot of different kinds of horses in her life, "yeah I board here," and then she thought for a moment, "huh I ride english mostly, but I have rode some western," she said, she had done some minor shows in western, "but I would rather ride english any day," she added, mostly she liked dressage, but was getting into jumping lately.

Nodding, she smiled at her gelding, "I love him. He is a Morgan, a big one!" She scratched his withers, he was calming down. "Good boy Mo." She glanced back up at the girl, "Me too. I love jumping but this guy has a stifle problem so he can't do much. Do you know how to fix it? I can't afford a vet..."

She smiled, "Shadow likes shy away from jumps sometimes or just buck after she gets over them," she said patting Shadow at the same time, "I might have a suggestion for it," she said bitting her lip and thinking, "yeah, if the deal with his sniffle is 2 grad or less then a ofintra-articular injection and systemically with anti-inflammatories to try to reduce any inflammatio, and cold to ice cold hosing, systemic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as phenylbutazone or topical anti-inflammatory medication," she said smiling, "I don't know for sure but that might work, if you know the level of the problem," she explained, and waited for a reply.

Molly smiled, "Thanks." She nodded at Starry Skys in the distance, "I better get back. See you later!" Turning Monopoly, she walked back through the trail towards her barn.
