The Grey Mare
*Its been 7 months since Rufio came back from the vet because of the accident. He is now ready to be ridden again. Today is the first time Jay will not only lunge him but RIDE HIM!!! She has been waiting and waiting and today is finally the day. Jay only had one ride after she got her eye sight back and she is hoping to make this her second. Today she wanted you to ride with her so you pulled up into the driveway and halt the car meeting Jay up at the barn. You go to grab Cara when someone meets up with you. "Hi." A older lady says. "Hi?" You try to get to Cara but she blocks you. "Umm...sorry mam. But...I need in that stall." "No. No you don't. You dont own Cara. Therefore you don't ride her." she replies. You feel full of anger but you try so hard to hold it in. "Listen here. Is that your horse?" You reply...putting you teeth together be veey careful of what you say. "Ha ha ha. You think id want a ugly horse like that?No. My horse is the top class olympics horse right next to that Ugly horse. And if youd know whats best for you. You'd stay away from that horse. Cuz you know all she is made for? She is made for the sluaghter house. Yea that's right. Now move!" she pushes you down and storms off. Grabbing her horse harshly with a halter with a chain and a leadrope that also has chain. Pulling yourself up you sigh and decide to approach a adult baout the circumstances. You end up running back into Jay, "Do you know where the instructor is, Jay?" she replies, "She should be in the arena. Why is something wrong?" The girl is standing next to Jay and she gives you a stern look. "Thanks...and Nope nothings wrong." You walk away before the questions roar and find the instructor in the arena setting out cones. She looks up at you. "Hello. Do you need something?" you nod. She takes you into the air conditioned room.
"Whats up"
"Umm...a girl approached me while I was trying to get Cara from her stall and she blocked me and said some really mean things. She also said that Cara should go to slaughter!"
" oh no! This behavior is not allowed. Whst horse did she have?"
" The horse next to Cara's stall. The olympic horse."
She nods and walks out. You hold back tears of what happened and decide to grab Cara and leave the situation behind you.
You and Jay are all tacked up and ready to ride...but you two have to wait. Since the instructor is talking to another rider, the same ine who was being rude. You lay your hand on the horse that she owns. This horse is a wonderful horse. You really want the horse and Jay agrees but she likes her even more. She is a dressage horse. The owner comea back. Jay approaches her, "Hey...I really like your horse." she says. The girl responds. "She is now for sale. I quit horses.!" she gets mad. Jay smiles, "soo she is for sale? Can I buy her?" the girl hands her the leadrope. "She is free. Take her!" Jay nods. And takes her halter. "You can have her jumping and dressage tack to." she runs out. Now Jay had two horses. A mare who is a olympic jumper and dressage horse. Jay has never jumped soo that will be interesting. The instructor comes back and Jay tells her that she has a new horse. Jay untacks the new horse and puts her back into her stall. She will need to get her a new halter and leadrope. Jay agrees. Jay and you lead Rufio and Cara into the arena and hop on. Warming up at a walk and then shoulder ins and leg yields and then moving into trot and then canter. The instructor walks in as soon as we are done warming uo and we begin our lessons. You learn how to do a piaffe and Jay got to work on her flying changes and piaffe work. We finished 1 hour and 30 minutes. Having a awesome lesson and Cara was great. We had a little fuss going into canter but she did great after that. As you were you were untacking, Jay asks you a question, "Do you want to ride with me to the taxk atore? Im gonna get a new haltwr and leadrope for my new horse and im also going to buy some new bits for her as well...ones that arent so harsh!" you nod. You and Jay put Cara and Rufio into their stalls and head out. 30 minutes later the car jolts to a stop. We have reached the tack store. Jay opens the door and you walk in. She finds the bits and gets the size she wants she grabbed a regular snaffle and a french link snaffle. She then drags you to the halters and finds a really cute lether halter that comes with a nameplate and she finds the leadrope thst matches. You noticed that the mares name was "Puzzle" and you decide to put that on her halter and leadrope. You hold the halter and leadrope for her and you two walk over to the customer service person behind the desk, the one who does the name plates for the halters and leadropes. You hand them to him and Jay says the name and writes it on the paper he gives her. Within a few minutes he hands it back with a beautiful brass nameplate with her name on it. You and Jay are in wow of how pretty it is. Walking out Jay heads back to the barn and puts the stuff up into her tackbox and you head home as does Jay.
This is a really long chapter sorry about that. Also the photo represents the mare. Thus chapter was not suppose to turn out like this..I had other plans for it but I changed it. This chapter flowed nicely together like this so I left it like that.
