Cassie's black riding boots clacked on the concrete of the yard. She wore skin tight black jodphers and a peach tank top. Her beautiful white-blond hair was straightened so that it hung down her back, almost reaching to her hips. As she walked, she hooked the reins of the black horse she was leading over her elbow, and gently pulled her hair into a low ponytail at the nape of her neck. She pushed the ponytail over her right shoulder and put on her black Champion riding hat. She collected the reins in her hand again, and opened the gate into the large jumping arena. She shut it behind her and then walked her 4 year old 16 hh black Andalusian stallion, Dante, into the middle of the ring. She halted him and swung herself easily up onto his back. Dante lifted his feet up, moving restlessly, he wanted to go. She clucked him on into a walk, giving him a long rein and allowing him to stretch out his neck. As soo as they stepped onto the track, Dante leapt into trot, tossing his head. When Cassie immediatly asked him to slow down, he threw his head in the air and bucked. She said "No!" to him, and he walked on. He continued having tantrums, attempting to trot or canter. Cassie asked him to go on the bit, to which Dante snorted and lifted his front legs off the ground. Again, she reprimanded him and asked again. he obeyed. As soon as he'd had his say, he'd be quite willing to do whatever. Cassie grinned to herself. She loved the feeling of asking her beautiful horse to do something, and him obeying. She patted him on the neck.

Dean's slim, muscular body sat upright on Mocha's back. His dirty blonde hair was pressed down by a black helmet. His tall Dutch Warmblood stood under him. He had just bought her yesterday and was about to ride her for the first time. Walking her up into the ring, he noticed a girl. Not only was she a girl... she was really pretty! Dean smiled when he noticed that her black horse was prancing around. "Hey!" He called out before fixing his reins in his hands. Picking up a trot, he allowed Mocha to flex and curl her neck. They trotted quietly around the ring and Mocha allowed her hoofs to touch on either side.
(Sorry it is short and a bit bad. I just broke my arm and writing hurts)

Megan trotted into the ring riding Flynn, but stopped short when she saw Cassie Williams and some other rider already in the ring. "Hey, Cassie," she called to the girl with blonde ringlets. "Is it okay if I ride Flynn in here?"

Cassie noticed the boy riding into the ring only when he shouted "Hey!" and caused Dante to shoot off, spooking. She pulled him back and he kicked his back legs out, snorting. "Dante, calm, please!" she said. He was having a frisky day. "Hey!" she called back to the boy, who, she noticed was tall, slim and blonde. Three of her favourite qualities in a guy. Plus, he had a stunning mare. She rode Dante over to him, smiling. As she asked Dante to stand, she saw Megan and her horse Flynn riding into the ring. She asked if it was ok to ride with them. "Sure, come in." Cassie couldn't exactly say get out of the ring, could she! She looked back at the guy. He was cute. She smiled her best smile and said "I'm Cassie Williams, What's your name? Are you new here? I haven't seen you around..."she fiddled with her hair as she spoke.
(hope you feel better supernora!)

Dean smiled at her and watched her come over, "Sorry for spooking your horse. I'm Dean, yeah I am new. I used to ride at a barn near my house but they sold it. I had to sell back my horses. This is my first ride on Mocha." He gestured at the Dutch Warmblood under him. "Would you mind if I rode with you?" Turning, he waved at the other girl.

"Don't worry 'bout it. He spooks at anything!" she laughed. "Mocha is gorgeous." she said, looking at the big horse. "Dutch Warmblood?" she asked. She rubbed Dante's neck, who was looking curiously at the mare. "And course you can ride in here." she smiled at him. She asked Dante to walk on, asking him to go on the bit again. She turned to look at Dean. "So, Dean, what disciplines do you do?"

"Yeah." He smiled knowing that she must really like horses also. "Eventing, you?" Picking up a trot, he moved in sync with his mare. Then floated around the ring silently. Asking for a canter, they seemed to roll very smoothly. He broke into a big smile, he loved her gaits! "How high can you jump?" He was ready to set up a few jumps but he continued at a collected canter. Mocha curved her neck and stayed on the bit. Dean seemed to be glued to his black, leather saddle.

"I do Eventing, but I don't really like dressage, so we do Cross Country and Showjumping too." she grinned, he looked great cantering round the ring on his mare. "The highest I've jumped is 4 foot 6 i think, maybe higher. Usually, we jump courses of 3 ft and over. You?" She asked Dante on into canter straight from walk. He obeyed, his concentration firmly on what Cassie asked him to do. She cantered across the school and asked for a lead change. Dante changed leads smoothly, and Cassie, not expecting him to do it, said "Good boy!" and patted his neck.

Dean nodded, "I usually jump 3'9 to 4' courses and I have jumped up to 4'9 also." Dismounting, he set up some 3'6, 3'9, and 4' jumps. Mounting again, he asked for a canter and took Mocha in a circle. Coming to the first jump (3'6), he squeezed her sides and pushed himself forward. Turning off, he went back to Cassie. He liked to just warm up first.

Cassie nodded, he must be good. She watched him jump the first jump, he WAS good. She smiled, turning Dante and asking him for his perfect jumping canter. She looked towards the jump and when Dante took off she rose up into her perfect two point. When they landed she turned Dante back towards Dean, a huge grin on her face. "So, how long you been riding, then?" she smiled up at his handsome face.

Dean smiled back at her, "For a while. Since I was about 7 years old. There was a barn next door, you?" Dean turned Mocha at the first jump again and then slowed her and jumped the second one at a collected canter. Turning her, he let her speed out a notch and cantered to the four foot jump. Clearing it, he brought her to a four foot oxar and soared over it. Slowing her down, he walked her to Cassie.

"My mom was a riding instructor at our old barn. I've been riding pretty much all my life." she grinned, and asked Dante to canter from a standstill, approched the first, second and third jumps and soured over them easily. When they landed, Dante put in a buck. Cassie pulled Dante back and asked him to walk. She was quite used to his bucks, he only did them out of excitement.

Dean watched her and smiled, "Your a good rider!" He liked how Dante was so firey. Picking up a faster canter, he jumped all 6 jumps and jumped up to 4'6. Pulling off his helmet for a minute, he brushed his hands through his blonde hair. He didn't want to get too sweaty. He waited to see what course Cassie would take.

"Thanks! So are you!" She waited for Dean to come back, then said to him. "I'm gonna try D over the 4'6... on it's own, then I'll do the course." She trotted Dante over to the biggest jump, then asked for canter. Before he took off, Cassie tapped him in the shoulder with her crop and Dante soured over it, bucking three times in a row when they stopped. Cassie let him canter back round the ring, then turned him towards the course, jumping the jumps in the same order as Dean had. Dante was flying. Knoeing Dean was watching her, Cassie rode the best she could, perfect two point every time. She trotted back over to Dean, a triumphant grin on her face.

Dean smiled as he watched her, "Great ride!" Turning Mocha at a line, he steadied her at the canter and gave her a squeeze as they lept over a 4'6 jump. Landing, they galloped at the 4'9 jump and Mocha didn't come close to touching it. When they landed, he galloped over the course that they had done last time. He managed to keep a slower gallop and then slowed to a trot around the ring. Patting Mocha's neck, he laughed, "Good girl!"

Cassie raised her eyes "Some speedy mare, you got there!" she smiled and wrapped her arms round Dante's neck.

Dean blushed a bit, "I didn't hold her quite enough but I was ready for some speed." He looked up to meet her eyes, "What are you... doing later?"

"Don't worry. I have trouble with the beast like that!" she patted her horse. When he looked into her eyes and asked what she was doing later she almost fell of Dante in surprise. Was he asking her on a date?! "Umm... nothing." she felt her cheeks redden "Why?"

Dean laughed but tried to hide who nervous he was, "Well... I wasn't doing anything but maybe you would like to see a movie?" He liked thta she was blushing, it was cute. Mocha flicked her ears back asking Dean to get on with it.

Ok, so he was asking her on a date. She switched her flirtiness on. "Okay, sure." she smiled at him, happily. She leant down and patted Dante, asking him to canter straight from a halt. She looked back over he shoulder, grinning at Dean, as she headed towards the biggest jump and jumped it with space to spare.

"Cool." He smiled trying to keep cool about everything. Watching her carefully, he smiled as she sailed over. "Did you just beat your record? That was great!" Following her, he asked Mocha to canter it in a very collected manner. Her hoofs landed on the ground lightly and he trotted her around the ring once before walking. "Bareback?" He asked her while sliding off of the Warmblood's back and tugging the saddle off. Laying it on the railing of the ring, he mounted from the block and waited for Cassie.

"Yeah, actually." she winked at Dean. "And yeah, I love bareback!" she jumped of Dante and took his saddle off, leaving it on the rail. She asked Dante to stand, then walked back a few steps and vaulted onto his back. She wasn't showing off, she just liked doing it and had always done it. "OK, ready!"

Dean smiled, "Want to canter around a bit? I love the feel of cantering bareback and I want to get used to how slippery Mocha is." Laughing, he patted Mocha and asked her for a nice collected canter on the rail. Her neck arched and she steadly, moved onward.

Cassie watched Dean cantering round the ring. She smiled. When he was done, she asked Dante to go on the bit and then to canter. He did, at a lovely smooth canter. She grinned, she'd always loved bareback. She changed the rein by cantering a figure of eight, then trotted back over to Dean, patting Dante.

Dean slowed Mocha and went to Cassie, "Wanna jump now?" He was grinning and it couldn't stop. The other girls he had known at his old barn never were up to this kind of thing. He liked Cassie... really liked her. He blushed because he knew that she would see him staring at her. He refused to be thought of as some random creep.

Cassie tossed her hair back and smiled as Daniel looked at her. She loved attention. "Sure! I'll go!" she turned Dante, and asked him for canter, turning him towards a 3 ft. He cleared it with space to spare, and she grinned triumphantly as they landed, although, as usual, Dante put in his two bucks. She sat them fine and trotted back over to Dean, grinning. "Silly Beasty!" she said affectionatly to Dante, leaning down and cuddling him.

Dean laughed, "You handle him really well!" Urging Mocha forward, they soared over the 3' brick wall before clearing the 3'9 oxer. Mocha wanted to keep going but Dean held her back and walked over to Cassie. "I better get going. Meet you around 7 at Le Lune? I'll pay."

"Thanks. I'm used to him by now!" she smiled. "And sure, I can't wait. I'll pay half if you like?" she didn't mind paying half, she would feel bad if it was really expensive.

Dean dismounted and loosened Mocha's girth, "It's fine, I can pay. See you soon!" Before she could say no, he flashed her a smile and left the ring to untack.
(Could you make the thread?)
