A/N: Ok, this is my first ever FanFic so please be nice. Read and Review. In the story Sam is taking English lessons at a new barn in Darton. I don't own any of the normal PS character I do however, own anyone and everyone at Star Creek Stable. I also don't own Dazzle or any other horse from the Thoroughbred Series that I happen to use.

Chapter 1

Sam Forster couldn't wait. She sat fidgeting in her dad's car he drove towards Darton Nevada. It had taken two months of constant pestering and 3 weeks of saving her allowance, but she had finally convinced her father that she was mature enough to take English riding lessons at a new riding stable in town.

When she had told her friends Jen Kenworthy had been excited saying that it sounded fun, Jake Ely on the other hand had grunted and given her a look that said something like 'Why would you want to do that?'. She had ignored him.

"If you don't want to do this you can back out anytime." Her dad said snapping her back into the present; he hated the idea of his cowgirl daughter learning how to jump at some snooty stable.

"If I didn't want to do this I wouldn't have sunk three weeks worth of allowance into a block of lessons." Sam didn't mean to sound short tempered but she was sick of hearing that. She had only ridden English twice, when she was in Sa Francisco living with her aunt after her accident, and had never had enough guts to go faster than a walk. Other than that she had always ridden Western usually on her little Mustang cow pony Ace.

"Don't bite my head off Sam or I'll turn this car right around!" Dad snapped

"I'm sorry I was short, but I want to learn to jump, and it's not like I'll be riding Ace, this instructor will give me one of her horses to ride in lessons." Which was true, a week ago when Sam had talked to Kelsi, the instructor, she had apparently already picked out the horse that Sam would ride, she had said that for their first lesson everyone rode one of four horses. But she had also explained to not get attached because you would only ride that horse once or twice before moving to the horse you would ride for the rest of your lessons.

"Hmm." Was the only response she got.

When they finally arrived the first thing they say was a sign that announced "STAR CREEK STABLES" and showed a picture of a horse jumping a big oxer.

"Too fancy for my taste." Dad mumbled under his breath hoping that his daughter didn't hear him. Although he hated that she would be riding here he hadn't seen her this excited over anything in a long time. But she had heard him and ignored it.

As they drove down the grey gravel driveway they saw a girl cantering a big black horse over a 2 foot cross-rail fence. The horse was gorgeous, total black not a speck of white on her; she had long legs that were powerful enough to catapult a thousand pounds of horse over a 2 foot jump.

Dad parked near the bigger of the two barns and climbed out, Sam followed him and they entered the barn.

There were horses everywhere. Some alone in there stalls, some being groomed in cross ties and even a few getting bathed.

"Where are we supposed to meet this Kelsi?" Dad asked looking out of place and sounding as if he wanted to get this whole ordeal with as quickly as possible.

"She said in Tack Room 2 over the phone" Sam answered. Where was this Tack Room 2 anyway?

"Are you one of Kelsi's new students?" Sam turned around and saw the girl who was riding the big black mare earlier walking toward them, horse right behind her.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Sam answered

"You and you dad were looking a little lost, I'll show you where she is."

"Oh no, take care of your horse just point us in the right direction." Sam said trying to be polite.

"It's no problem; Dazzle's stall is right next to the tack room I'm headed in that direction any way."

"Ok," Sam said following the girl, Dad following close behind.

They walked down the main aisle of the barn until they had nearly reached the end.

"It's right there," the girl said pointing to her right. "My name is Dylan by the way, and your name is…"

"Samantha, I go by Sam."

"Nice to meet you Sam."

Dylan led Dazzle into a stall two doors down from the door she had said was the tack room.

Just then a woman came out of Tack Room 2.

"Samantha Forster, are you ready to meet your horse?"
