Sara smiled and patted her big Thoroughbred's neck. Desert had been re-shoed, and was ready to be worked again. "Ready for ths, crazy kid?" she asked him. He tossed his head and nickered to a few horses out in the pasture. Sara laughed.
He hadn't been ridden in a couple of days, so she'd lunged him first and he's been great. Now, Sara gently asked him for a walk. Desert sighed and flicked his ears. He was still his lazy old self. "Get up, lazybum," Sara laughed, giving Desert a firmer squueze with her legs. Grudgingly, the gelding obliged, and began to walk around the jumping ring.
Sara warmed him up thoroughly at a walk and a trot, then asked for a canter. Desert lazily rolled into the faster gait, and Sara turned him toward a small jump. He cantered over the 2' crossbar, barely lifting his legs at all. Sara frowned.
"Come on, Dez," she said, pushing him to canter faster. She circled him around and rode for the same jump, this time giving Desert a little tap with her heels right before the jump. He jumped properly this time, and pigrooted after he landed. Sara laughed. "There we go," she said, patting him on the shoulder.

Cassie trotted along the path towards the jumping ring, on the back of her big Andalusian stallion, Dante. She has her iPod earphones in - well, only one earphone, and was listening to Nevershoutnever, her new favourite band. She smiled when she saw Sara, and turned Dante towards the ring. When D saw Desert, he whinnied and tossed his head. "Hey S, Hey Dez!" Cassie called.

Sara looked up and grinned when she saw Cassie. "Hey!" she shouted back, waving. Desert whinnied in reply to Dante, pinning his ears at the stallion. Sara laughed at her angry gelding. "Whatcha listening to?" she called to Cassie. She rolled her eyes at herself for screaming and trotted Desert over to the fence of the ring.

Cassie rolled her eyes at Dez. "Hello, grumpy." She said, affectionatly to him. "Nevershoutnever. You heard of him? I'm so in loveeee with his music right now!" She pulled the earphoes out and wrapped them round her ipod, then slipped it safely into her pocket. Cassie walked D inside the ring, saying "Don't mind if I ride, do ya?"

Sara shook her head. "Nope, never," she said with a smile. She laughed as Cassie walked Dante into the ring. "Course not," she said as Desert pinned his ears warningly at Cassie's stallion. "Desert doesn't mind either," she said with a laugh, forcing her gelding a little closer to Dante. "See? He's not gonna eat you," Sara said to him, stroking his neck. She smiled at Cassie. "On the other hand, I'm not too sure if you're safe, Dante," she laughed as Desert stamped his hoof in irritation.

Cassie giggled at Dez. He was always so moody. She pushed D on, and began walking round the ring. "So, what've you been up to lately, then, S?"

Sara laughed. "Not much, actually," she said to her friend. "While Dez was out I looked at a new mare..." she said evasively, turning Desert away and winking at Cassie over her shoulder. She cantered him towards a small vertical and gave him a kick before it. Sitting up into her two point, Sara smiled as Desert popped over it effortlessly. She patted him on the neck as she trotted him back over to Cassie and Dante, grinning. Pulling him to a halt, she laughed at her friend.

Cassie grinned and clapped at Sara and Dez. "Aw, you look great!" she said. Cassie began trotting D round, asking for an outline. He went straight into it, as usual. She patted him on the neck. "Clever Boy!"

Sara laughed and smiled approvingly at Cassie and Dante. "Nice yourself," Sara laughed. She gave Desert a rub and then grinned at Cassie. "So, after we finish with these two, wanna keep me company when I ride my new mare for the first time?" she winked at her friend and laughed when Desert snorted indignantly. "Aw, I still love you bud," she said, smiling.

Cassie grinned. "Of course I do!" She clicked with her tongue and Dante moved off into canter. Cassie cantered him around a few times, then turned to a 3'. Dante cleared it effortlessly. "What breed is she?" asked Cassie, still cantering.

Sara laughed. "Thought so," she giggled with a smile. She watched Cassie and Dante clear the jump and laughed. "Good one," she called out. She smiled again. "She's a Haflinger," she said. "A tad smaller than whate I'm used to though," she laughed, rubbing Desert's neck. She aimed him towards the same jump Cassie and Dante had just cleared and pushed him into a canter. "Come on Dez!" she groaned, trying to get her lazy gelding to move faster. He snorted and kept his own pace, catleaping over it then skidding to a halt after it. "You're so graceful," Sara muttered, walking him on again.

Cassie smiled at Sara. "Aww, cute! How tall is she?" She giggled as Dez cat leaped the jump. "He's so silly." she said, then turned Dante and did a couple of other jumps.

"She's 14 hands," Sara said, smiling. "But that's okay, coz I'm a shorty," she laughed. "She's done shows and stuff, and I'm hoping she'll help Desert settle down a bit if he has a friend going with him everywhere." Sara smiled again and pushed Desert into a trot, lapping the ring and then aiming him for a 2 foot jump. She gave him a nudge in the ribs just before the jump and he cleared it fine. "Good boy," she smiled, pushing the lazy thoroughbred into a canter and popping him over a couple of bigger jumps. "There we go," she smiled, patting his neck and bringing him back to a trot.

Cassie smiled. "Aw, cool. I can't wait to meet her." she smiled. "I've considered getting another horse, but then I think I have more than enough with D here!" she giggled.

Sara laughed. "I can't wait to ride her!" she said happily. "It's funny, I never ever wanted another horse except for Dez, but I think it'll be fun having Toffee around to do things that big sooky-lala can't." She smiled and hugged Desert around the neck, laughing when he took a couple of steps forward and snorted. Sitting up, Sara wiped the sweat off her face. "Well, I think Dez is done," she said, grimacing. She walked her gelding around the ring to warm him down. "Good boy," she smiled at him. She grinned at Cassie. "Wanna wait here while I go get the new chicky?" she laughed.
