-stupid templates not working
Me and Sammie walk up to the barn in comfortable silence. I turn to her and say "Meet you in 10?" I walk to Harley and Midnight's little field. I whistle, and Harley comes galloping up. I Grrab his leadline and walk him into the stables.

I nod, smiling. When Midnight sees me, he bounds over and lifts his head, proud to show off his home to me. I halter him and he follows me back to the barn. I grab his grooming kit while he goes into his stall and starts munching on some hay. I go into his stall, closing the door behind me before beginning his grooming.
By the end, he looks so shiny and flawless that it even impresses me. I tack him up, checking my watch. Wow, right on time! I head the the front of the barn, Middie in hand, and smile when Vi comes.

After I groom Harley until he shines, I tack him up and slip his bridle over his head. Not sure if we were going to do any Cross Country, I strapped on his black protective splints just to be sure. I walk Harles out ans see Sammie Right on time. I smile. "So, we can take the back trail and do a little cross country." I loved cross country, and I hadn't gotten to do it very much.

My wide grin shows my agreement. I put my foot into the stirrup and mounted, noting how much my upper and lower body strength had improved. I sat deep in the saddle and lowered my hands, fixing my posture as I strapped on my x-country helmet.

If this is what we've got,
Then what we've got is gold... I strap on my cross country vest and helmet, while mounting Harley in one swift, fluent motion. I Make sure my dark brown hair is pulled back, and not a flyaway strand escapes. I turn to Sammie. "Wanna lead? I ask, motioning to the trail. And I want you,
I want you to know Notes:

I smile and toss my utterly flawless blond hair. Sure. I say confidently, clicking Midnight into a swift, collected walk.

If this is what we've got,
Then what we've got is gold... I nod. "Hasn't it happened to all of us?" I laugh and roll my eyes. Harley's ears perk up, and I see that we've reached the start of the cross country course. I turn to Sammie. "So, we have a log, then we canter down to the bank, then uphill to the hay bales, another fallen tree, and then the gate. Do you want to go 1st? I'll follow 20 feet behind you." And I want you,

I nod. Sure. I say, clicking Midnight into a graceful, steady canter. We move as one, and it's obvious that we have a real connection. My position is flawless and I don't focus on anything but my riding. As we approach the log, I count down in my head, prepering for jumping position. We take off at the exact right time and I snap into a flawless two-point. We land without a sound, the only noise is Midnight's and Harley's hoofbeats.

I smile as Sammie clears the 1st log, then signal Harley to canter. He gets excited and bounds forward, but I slow him by leaning back slightly. I loved riding him, knowing that a 1000 pound animal was all [\i]mine, connected to me. I loved Harley to death, and this ride would prove it. When we reached the log, I leaned forward and Harley's legs snapped up, clearing the 2'9 log with ease. I cantered down to the bank, where Harley hesitated, seeing the water. I pushed him with my legs, showing him there was nothing to be afraid of. Confidence radiated through me and to Harley. He took the jump with a little bit of a long spot, but hey, at least he tokk it. I patted him and grinned. "Good boy. C'mon!" We finished the next 2 jumps with ease, and when I saw Sammie waiting, I let Harley gallop t the gate, slowing down strides before and doing an amazing takeoff. I smile and head to Sammie.

I beamed. "Thanks. I am, considering that a year ago Harley wouldn't even jump a liverpool, let alone real water." I laugh, giving him a big pat. He was obviously proud of himself, because he tossed his head happily. I giggled. "Someones happy." I said, letting him to his happy dance.
