Mckenna walked into the arena, leading her beloved Canadian Horse, Breezy. They had been together since Mckenna was 9, and they have been best friends since. Breezy stood silently as Mckenna put her left foot in the stirrup and climbed up. She walked Breezy around the arena, then went to a trot, then canter. When she was done with warming her up, she climbed off and set the jumps up. Mckenna didn't jump that high, but she was trying to work on getting it higher. She climbed back on Breezy, and pushed her into a canter. She counted the strides, then flew over the jump perfectly. "Good girl, Breezy!" Mckenna exclaimed. She turned her around, and they cantered towards the jump again.

Molly walked into the ring on her horse, Monopoly. "Hey! Mind if I join you?" She usually jumped higher but Monopoly was still being retrained. She needed to work on smaller jumps with him. She picked up a trot around the arena then a canter. The canter was becoming stedier than it used to be.

"Sure!" Mckenna said. Breezy neighed as the horse entered the arena, and then cantered around the arena. Mckenna pushed Breezy into a trot, focusing on her posting, to make sure she was on the right diaganol. The sun was making it hotter outside, and Mckenna tried to not work Breezy too much. She didn't want her to get too tired and hot.

Molly brought him back to a walk and let him move around, "I'm Molly." She smiled over at the other girl. Mo tossed his head but put himself back on the bit before being asked. She picked up a posting trot and moved at a crossrail that was set up. They trotted to it's base and moved into a canter on the landing. Molly slowed him down to a walk again and stood him in the shade for a quick rest.

"I'm Mckenna," she said. Breezy neighed and threw her head up. "Don't worry, I didn't forget to introduce you. This is Breezy." Breezy moved her legs, wanting to canter again. Mckenna didn't have much time to lung her today, since she woke up rather late this morning. She patted Breezy and said, "Easy, girl."

"Nice to meet you. This is Monopoly or Mo. He is my other horse's son." She grinned when Mo walked towards Breezy and attempted to sniff her. She readied herself to pull him back just in case. "Are you new here?"

"Yup!" Mckenna giggled as Mo attempted to sniff Breezy. Breezy didn't seem to mind, and sniffed him back. "How long have you been riding here?"

"Cool. I have been riding here since it was build." Molly smiled and remembered when it was just her and two other girls who rode at Starry Skys. "It has grown so much since then." Mo snorted and lightly pushed Breezy with his nose.

"Oh wow! My old barn shut down after the owner died. I had been there for 7 years." Breezy pushed Mo with her nose, after Mo pushed her. They seemed to like each other, and Mckenna couldn't help but smile at how much it seemed Breezy liked this place so far. "Do you have any other horses? Besides Mo and your other horse, of course."

"I am sorry." Molly couldn't think about how it would be to lose Gena. She had become very close to her. "No, I just have two horses." Mo whinnied and tossed his head. Molly watched the horses play, "They seem to be friends already!"

"I'm going to have two horses soon. Breezy is pregnant. I'm looking to buy a horse too." Mckenna giggled as the horses did seem to be friends. "Awe, how cute! I'm happy Breezy likes it here."

"Oh wow! That is awesome! Who is the sire?" Molly gazed at the mare now wondering how the foal would look. She loved foals, they were so cute!

"Conjack. He's for sale right now too." Mckenna patted Breezy and smiled.

"Really? What is he like?" Molly knew some people looking for horses.

"He's a really sweet horse. Just needs some extra training, because he doesn't like being around large groups of people. He's never been at a show either. I think if a new owner were to turn him to a gelding, he would calm down a little."

"How old is he? What disciplines does he do?" Molly blushed from asking so many questions.

"He's 14 and he does English and Western." Breezy whinnied, and Mckenna shushed her.

"Sounds a bit old to be gelded." Molly smiled, "Does he jump?"

"You're right. He does jump, but not too high. Probably just some cross jumps 2 feet jumps."

"Oh. Why are you selling him?" Molly wondered. Mo snorted and pawed at the ground.

"He's not mine. I know the girl who is selling him. Her name is Charlie Smith. Her parents are so strict about riding, and they don't like Conjack. So they are making her sell him." Breezy began to get figity and threw her head up. Mckenna pulled her back so Breezy would get back on the bit. "I would love to buy him, but I'm already looking at a different horse."

"Oh, well I hope he goes to a good home! I am going to go over some more jumps. Want to join me?" Molly turned Mo and trotted him around a bit to warm him back up. When he was ready, she trotted him over a crossrail. "Good boy Mo!" She turned him at a small vertical and jumped that, cantering out.

"Sure!" Mckenna followed her, trotting over the cross jump and went to the small vertical jump. They went over beautifully, and then cantered out. Mckenna always loved jumping. So much, her cousins had even asked her to teach them to jump because they were fasinated when Mckenna did it. "Good girl, Breezy!" Mckenna exclaimed as they continued to canter towards jumps.

Molly let Mo walk for a while before trotting him over another jump. After that one, she picked up a canter and cantered a crossrail. "I have to get Mo back into shape. He pulled his stifle and had stall rest for a year. It was really bad and now he has to start training all over again. He was actually an eventer horse."

"I'm so sorry to hear that." Mckenna cantered over another jump, then trotted over a crossrail. "That's gotta be hard." Breezy picked up a canter and they flew over another jump. "Breezy once was not able to ride for a few weeks because of an accident in the showing arena. It wasn't that bad, but Breezy fell had a few cuts." Mckenna pulled Breezy back down to a trot and patted her.

"Ouch. Falls can be bad." Molly walked around the ring to cool Mo off.

"Well thankfully Breezy only ended up with a couple of cuts. Another horse in the arena though that ran into us jumped the fence. The stirrup got caught in the fence, and, well, it didn't end well." Breezy trotted towards Molly, and she slowed her to a walk. They walked side by side.

"That is terrib-" Molly was cut off when a loud crash of thunder sounded in the distant clouds. Monopoly whinnied and lept into a gallop. He raced around the ring and Molly held onto the reins. After a minute, Molly had him in control again and brought him to a walk. She breathed heavily as did Mo as they walked around the ring. When he was calm again, she called out to Mckenna, "I think we should put them away before it storms!"

Breezy jumped when the loud crash of thunder was sounded. Mckenna spun her in a circle, getting back in control of her horse. "Good idea! I think Breezy needs some rest too." Mckenna got off and walked towards the exit of the arena. She stopped and waited for Molly and Mo to catch up.

Molly dismounted and led Mo out behind Mckenna. She led him to his stall and untacked him. before letting him loose in his box, she gave him a carrot and patted him. Closing the door, she went over to Mckenna.
