[/img] I lead Red Blossom's or Red my 7 year old red roan arabian gelding into the ring and froze and whispered,"oh look at it Peng You (Friend) it's huge!" I looked patted his on his shoulder and swung himself into the saddle. I settled myself in the saddle and ran a hand over my tradition chinese braided hair and asked Red for a collected working trot we went around the ring a few times before I asked her for a canter and we sailed around the ring gracefully Red's rusty red points glinted blood red in the setting sun. I looked outside at the sunset before turning my attention back to Red.
I looked up as the door opened and someone else came into the ring. I nodded to them to let them know I saw them then I asked Red to do a complicated combination of Piaffe's and passages and even a levade. once done I smiled and patted Red's shoulder and said, "hao wǒ de péng yǒu (Good job my friend)" tags tag here outfit link here credits ♥ r o s e[/center]

"Hi Courtney! Is this Red?"
I had decided to ride again, seeing as I didn't have much else to do and, well, riding is my favorite thing!

I was walking my lively Palomino, Dream, into the Indoor Dressage Arena until I noticed someone else in there. I hope I didn't bother them... I say as I give a small nod to the pretty dark-haired girl on a roan-colored pony, and judging by it's dished face, it seemed to be an Arab. I lead Dream into the middle of the ring, looking down at my outfit. Sharp peach-colored breeches and a crisp fall blazer. Not my usual sporty look, but I'd decided that if I was gonna practice my, er... dressage skills, then I'd go all out. That's why I'd groomed every inch of Dream and combed his mane to perfection, cleaning his tack and hooves before coming to the ring. Plus, I loved pampering my sweet five year-old gelding to the max. He was just cool like that. I carefully- yet gracefully- mounted with a small bump in the saddle. I patted his strong, cream-colored shoulder before clicking him into a perfectly paced walk. Dream had a lively bounce to his already-energetic step, so I half-halted him. After the warmup, I clicked him into a collected, smooth trot. I felt like I was floating around the arena as we turned to corners. Suddenly, an unexpectedly strong gust of wind hit the arena, making the white dome covering them shake wildly, falling towards them before bouncing back up. I had a split second to curse under my breath before Dream flipped out. He rolled his eyes back, sidestepping and tugging the reins out of my hands. Despite my efforts, I couldn't re-grab them and he stepped right on the middle of them, snapping them in two. The pretty palomino gave a huge rear, and I promptly leaned forward and clutched some mane, staying completely calm. The worst had to be over, right? Wrong. When a second gust came, Dream bounced into the air in a flighty gallop, his hooves shooting dust off the arena floor. crap... I thought to myself as I tried to calm him. But he'd done this before, and he wouldn't let up. Last time, I'd jumped off, but this time I knew it wasn't near as safe as staying on. Dream, frazzled, sweating and shaking, the whites of his eyes devouring his usually charcoal-colored eyes. He did another jump, and he had yet to spot the other horse. "Get off!" I scream to the girl, knowing it wasn't safe for her to stay on. Suddenly, Dream did a sharp turn toward a jump that had been set up, his shoulder crashing into it before he could stop himself. The saddle slipped and I was thrown off, my side crashing into the jump.The side of my head hits the jump standard and I don't have time to cry out before all I see is black...

I slowed Red as another girl came in and started practicing I steered clear of her but when her horse started to panic I pulled Red to the side watched in horror the girl somehow stayed calm and sort of collected through out the whole thing until the horse threw her off and she slammed into the jump. I gasped and hopped of Red and quickly tied him to a near by jump and hurried over the girl. I checked for a pulse then I tapped her cheek and said, "Ni hao I mean hello? can you hear me? hello?' tags tag here outfit link here credits ♥ r o s e

So this is what nothing feels like... I thought to myself, but I could hear, ever so faintly, a girl's voice. Can I still speak? "My horse. Get my horse." I tried to whisper, and I had no idea if she'd heard me or if I'd even managed a sound. I made no attempt to sit up, because I could feel pain pulsing through my veins as is.

I nodded hearing her comment about getting her horse. I got up and walked slowly over to her horse I smiled and said, "Hey there pretty what happened? did you get spooked? Come here buddy you can come meet Red he's my horse I think you two will get along just fine" I talked softly to them as picked up what was left of their reins and led them over to Red and did a loose slip knot and rubbed their nose. tags tag here outfit link here credits ♥ r o s e

Somehow, I knew she'd gotten Dream. "Thank you." I struggled to say, before straining to reopen my dark brown eyes. I tried to move, but a double shot of pain welcomed me when I sat up. I groaned, closing my eyes and twisting to make sure I hadn't broken anything. "I'm all about first impressions." I whisper, my sarcastic but silly sense of humour shining through my, ugh, pain.

I smiled softly and knelt beside her again and said, "No problem and don't worry I threw on somebody on the first day of school once so i'm the queen of first impressions" I looked her over and said, "Here let's you to the Nurse's office" I tried to help her to stand so I could get her to the nurse I said, "I'll untack and groom your horse for you while you're with the nurse"tags tag here outfit link here credits ♥ r o s e

I let myself smile gratefully. "Thank you so much. I'm so treating you to hot chocolate later." I say, and grin slyly.

I smiled and said, "You're very welcome and sounds good to me" I helped out of the arena and towards the Nurse's office. I knew i'd be back to my dorm really late because I had to untack, put the tack away, groom, put away, feed and water two horses and I knew I had a bunch of homework to do as well so i'd be up REALLY late trying to get that done. tags tag here outfit link here credits ♥ r o s e

I smile, slowly but surely standing up and feeling a shot of pain in my left leg. I yelp, letting my weight go to my right and leaning against the sturdy jump standard for balance. "My leg..." I trailed off, clutching Dream's soft mane.

I nodded and wrapped my arm and her shoulder and said, "Here lean on my shoulder don't worry about your horse Red'll make sure she stays still he's good like that" I glanced at Red and muttered something in chinese to him. This was turning out to be a very very interesting first ride here at canterwood. tags tag here outfit link here credits ♥ r o s e

I lean into her, trying not to put all of my weight on her and supporting some of it with my right leg. I turned my head to smile weakly at Dream before we were on our way to the nurse's office. "Thank you again." I tell her, smiling and giving her a quick hug. "Meet back at the stable after I get my leg checked out? I can turn Dream out and we can head to the Sweete Shop?" I suggest.
