Let's do this (Open!)

[peyton]

I lead Spud my 9 year old black and white tabino arabian gelding into the the Jumping ring and stopped looking around the large ring with it's large fancy new jumps and I was sickly reminded of my old stables Mistco Farms. I sighed and walked so I was facing Spud and put my hands on his cheeks and whispered, "Let's do this buddy we'll show the world that we're ready for whatever they throw at us" with that pep talk I walked to Spud's left side and swung myself into the saddle.

Once I was settled I urged Spud into a forward working trot and we circled the ring a few times as a warm up before easing him into a canter we circled twice around the ring before I turned him towards a low 2.0 foot jump and as neared it I rose into a perfect two point an sailed over the jump with ease I barely shifted as Spud landed. I glanced at the arena gate as someone else came in.

[Carmela Vigil]

You could say that Carmela Vigil woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. Or you could say that she didn't get enough sleep. Whatever you say, you could all agree on one thing: Carmela was not in a very good, sunshine mood. It wasn't the I'm-going-to-kill-everyone kinda mood or even the don't-talk-to-me-unless-you-wanna-be-slapped kinda mood either. Nope. Carmela's mood changes like the weather; sometimes she is light, happy and sunny for days on end. Other days she could be surly and bitter about the miniscule of things. Today wasn't really a bad day for her. I mean, it wasn't like it topped her Top Ten List for Worst Days Ever. It could've been a pretty decent day. But c'mon, this is Carmela we are talking about here. Nothing about her could ever be decent in her standards.

She talked some sense in herself and decided to blow off some steam at the stables. Carmela hadn't practiced in ages and was just waiting for Mr. Conner to call her into his office to inform her that she was off the YENT. Nope, she couldn't allow that. The paddock she had chosen for her and her horse, Drifting Memory to practice in wasn't empty like what she had expected. Inside their was a single rider, a boy from what she could see. Carmela mounted Memory and led her to the wall to began their warm up, unsure if she should introduce herself or not. The kid did like new after all; She had never seen him before.

I looked over again to see a grumpy looking girl enter the ring with her horse I smiled and said, "Morning, i'm Peyton Kane I don't think we've met yet" I clicked my tongue and ask Spud for a canter and we swept forwards into a nice working canter and guided Spud towards a black and white 2.4 foot vertical and I rose into an easy two point position as we sailed over the jump and as we landed I smiled and patted Spud and said, "Another good jump eh? buddy" I smiled and asked him for a nice collected working trot.

[sammie]

Sammie always seemed to walk into the wrong things at the wrong times. At least, lately. She'd felt like going totally b*tch on her friends lately, but of course she'd never do that because she was mad about something else- she loved her friends. Sammie had been spending a lot of time with her ex-racehorse gelding, Midnight; practicing hard and just having fun and forgetting about everything else. But as she looked up, she knew by the fact that Carmel was there that this would be an awkward practice. "Hey Peyton. Hey... Carmel." She said cooly. She hadn't had a good morning- no decaf coffee left in the Media Center, a hidden pile of homework she hadn't known about and her hair hadn't been cooperating. But she'd tamed it eventually- now it was pulled into a flawless french braid running down her back. At least I have Midnight. I tell myself as I gracefully mount, strapping my helmet on and clicking Midnight into a swift, collected walk.

I looked over as another person entered the ring another glance told me it was Sammie and her horse I smiled and said, "Hey Sammie" I shorted my reins and made Spud do a circle as she started throw his head and shift restlessly he was certainly eager to get on with jumping. I smiled and patted his neck and murmured, "Alright buddy let the fun begin" I clicked my tongue and urged him into a canter we circled around Sammie and her horse to reach a 3.7 oxer. I applied some pressure to Spud's sides knowing he would try to slow down and throw me off balance and as we rose into the air I rose into a two point position and we landed safe and sound on the other side I calmly asked Spud for a nice working trot and we circled back towards Sammie and the other girl.

[sammie]

Even in my dark mood, Peyton lifts my spirits and I smile my alluring smile. "Hey- omigod! Spud is gorgeous..." I tell him, smiling brightly. I think Midnight's glad to have another guy to hang with. I think to myself.

I smiled and said, "Thanks Midnight looks pretty amazing too he's got nice legs and shoulders" I ran a hand over Spud's neck hoping my hour and a half of grooming had pain off and that the running braid i'd done his mane was still in tack I never did like doing his forelock in a braid or tail I only went to that length when we were going to be doing a show or for the video that helped me get into CanterWood Crest. I glanced at my outfit hoping I wasn't covered in dirt and horse hair I was wearing a dark grey t-shirt which was covered by a stiff black protective jumping vest and my sleek cream colored breeches and tall black boots and the sleek black leather gloves that covered my hands and my brand new Ovation helmet i'd had custom made to have my name engraved on the back.

[calliefan234]

I lead Harles up to the ring, hoping it to be empty. Instead theres Sammie, Carmel, and... a boy I didn't know. I say hi to Sammie and give a half wave to Carmel. I didn;t want to come across as rude, but I did NOT want to talk to Carmel. I smile at the boy. "Hi. I don't think we met. I'm Violet." I say, smiling. Harley nudges Midnight and sniffs at the other horse.

[peyton]

I look over at the gate as yet another girl leads her horse in she greets Sammie and waves to the other girl then turns and speaks to me I said, "Hi, I'm Peyton Kane and no, I don't think we've met thought you may have met my cousin I don't know where he is though he said he'd come from his dorm to see me oh well he's probably busy with his horse Spongebob that's ben for you" I ran a hand through my hair and glanced around the ring the next jump was a yellow vertical with flower boxes under it Spud's least favorite jump to jump/

[Carmela Vigil]

Carmela Vigil. She introduced herself to the new kid, to Peyton, giving him a half smile Carmela turned Memory around, eager to start practicing when Sammie came into the arena, riding Midnight. Carmela gave her an awkward two finger wave. Sammie. She said, her voice taking on her default monotone. Then low and behold, Violet came into the arena also. Did these girls have a tracking device on Carmela or something? It seemed very well planned right now in a two against one battle. Still, she wasn't about to get ran out of the arena. She rode Memory up to the wall, getting started with the simple warm up. Carmela had a feeling someone was going to start at least something.

[sammie]

I smile, and suddenly I'm giddy to tell my Bff, Vi, about Peyton and I's date. "Hey Vi!" I say to her smiling brightly and giving Peyton a flirty look. Violet and I have to get together.... I need to share this with someone!!! I tell myself.

I smile at Sam, dangling my feet by Harles' side.

[peyton]

I smiled awkwardly at the three girls and said, "So...nice to meet you Carmela and uh...you three know each other?" I blushed at how stupid my question was because there was some tension going on between the three girls I decided I ought to stay away from them before I got thrown into a major girl drama. I trotted Spud towards the far end of the ring.

[sammie]

I squeeze Violet's hand before trotting over to where Peyton is, pulling Midnight up beside him. I lean my head in and whisper, "Sorry about that. Carmel and I are kind of in a fight." I smile at him, my alluring, beautiful smile. His eyes are so... I grin.

I blushed and said, "It's alright I need to keep practicing anyways I gotta get ready for my tryout for the intermediate team in front of Mr. Connor in two weeks" I patted Spud's shoulder and wiped some stray dust off of his gleaming white a black coat before glancing around the arena to find the next jump he would be jumping.
