I know I have to update my other Horseland fan fiction, but I just could not resist starting this story. So here we go, I do not own Horseland!
Chapter 1
It was a warm, sunny day in August at Horseland Stables. The whole barn was full of excitement and eagerness; a new horse and rider were coming to Horseland. "I can't wait to meet this new girl," Nani said, as she brushed Sunburst's mane. "Si, me neither, I hope she is nice," Alma agreed as she swept the barn floor. The oldest teenager of them, Will Taggert, entered the stable whistling to himself. "Alright, everyone, Katie and her horse, Thunder Rush, will be here in 10 minutes," He announced, "I hope everyone gives her a warm welcome to Horseland,"
"Katie? As in Katie Helmink?" Chloe gasped, looking back at Will.
He nodded. "Yep, that's the one," Chloe and Zoey looked at each other in disbelief and squealed in excitement. "Oh my goodness! Katie Helmink is coming to Horseland, Zoey!" Chloe exclaimed.
"I know, I know, a real champion rider," Zoey agreed, eagerly.
"Who is Katie Helmink?" Sarah asked curiously, as she brushed Scarlet's beautiful black coat. "She is the youngest rider to ever win the National Show Jumping Championship and to compete in the Olympics with her thoroughbred stallion, Thunder Rush!" Chloe exclaimed, eagerly. "She has traveled the world, competing in some of the most prestigious show jumping events that every country has to offer," Zoey added.
"Wow!" Bailey exclaimed. "That is some girl!" He closed Aztec's stall door, and left the barn with the others, as the horses began to talk amongst themselves.
"Wow! Thunder Rush is actually going to be living here at Horseland! What an honor!" Chili exclaimed proudly, and throwing his head up in pride. "Yeah, a champion show jumper," Pepper nodded in agreement. "He can teach us how to improve on our jumping and show us his skills," The other horses neighed loudly in agreement; each one was excited about the new horse. "I can't wait to meet him," Scarlet said. Suddenly, the horses head the sound of a truck and trailer stopping in front of the barn. "Hey, he's here!" Aztec exclaimed. The humans gathered outside as the passenger door opened, and a young girl stepped out, wearing a bright yellow riding jacket. "Hello, I'm Will, welcome to Horseland!" Will said, as they shook hands. "Hi, I'm Katie, I'm sure glad to be here," She replied, politely.
"Let me introduce you to the others," Will said. "This is Bailey, Alma, Molly, Sarah, Nani, Chloe, and Zoey," Katie smiled brightly at them.
"It's nice to meet you all," A loud neigh from the trailer, broke through the air. "And that is Thunder Rush, he probably wants out, after such a long drive," She said, as she entered the trailer and led him down the ramp. He was a pure white stallion, with bright yellow highlights in his wavy, sleek mane and tail. He shook his head in relief and perked his ears up at the sound of the other humans. The riders gasped in awe at the sight of the thoroughbred. "What a beautiful horse!" Sarah commented.
"Thank you, Thunder Rush is a great horse, although he can be a bit stubborn at times," She said. The horse put his nose against Nani's pocket and sniffed it curiously. "He must smell peppermints, he loves them very much," Katie said, smiling. Nani took one out and held it out to him, which he accepted happily. "Why don't we get Thunder in a stall, so he can used to the other horses," Will said. They took him into the barn and placed him in the stall besides Scarlet. Katie left with others; they were going to take her on a tour of Horseland.
