Once we were Hero's.
Freshly trained horse, not good
Slowly she adjusted her place in the saddle and leaned forward. As she tightened her grip on the reins she slap a crimson color whip against the skin of a beautiful white horse. She felt the horse lunge forward in a burst of energy, flying out of the starting gate. The horse made a B line for the first jump in the course. From the sidelines a young girl watched every movement of the girl on the horse. The horse lifted its front legs ready to fly of the first jump. The girl Lifted her body off the saddle and went over the jump with great ease. She flew over the next jump as if the horse was winged. The horse slowed down as it turned for the next 3 jumps.
"Terrance! Pick up the pace!" The girl on the sidelines yelled.
Terrance cracked the whip against the horse's skin and the horse sped towards the following jumps. Suddenly the horse reared backwards, throwing Terrance forwards. She crashed into the jump, braking it. She rolled over and suddenly sprang up. "I'm okay Justine! I've been through worst!" she yelled as Justine came running up. "What'd I do wrong?"
"The horse just spooked, happens all the time. And this one is freshly trained so of course its bound to screw a few times."
"I guess. I can't wait to get this baby out barrel racing" Terrance said as she grabbed the reins of the horse and pet the horse's nose.
" Whoa, whoa! One thing at a time, you decided to teach her to jump and then barrel race." Justine said rolling her eyes at Terrance. Terrance placed her foot in the stirrup and swung her leg over. Justine handed her the reins and grabbed on to Terrance's arm and pulled her self over the back of the horse. Terrance turned the horse around and headed back the long trip to the holding pins. At Justine's house the field was only big enough for holding pins and grazing lands. So they used their friend's fields to train and work the horses. Justine had 5 horses at the moment plus 3 minis. For Terrance the horse they rode now, was her first horse. She has worked long and hard to pay for the horse and now she finally got to work with it. Justine, of course, trained all the horses she owned plus Terrance's horse.
"Is Vicky still going on our trip? I mean she said something about her horse not being able to make it." Terrance said racing her voice over a passing car.
"Yeah, she's still going. She'll being using one of my horses. Butter Cup. Oh, crap look at the time. Speed up, dude."
Terrance tightened her legs and the horse moved into a slow lope. After 5 minutes they were back at Justine's house. Terrance unsaddle and cleaned the horse in about 40 minutes, she fed the rest of the horses and head up towards the house. She walked in the back door and made her way up to the front of the house. She walked over to the couch and fell onto it.
"Wake up." Justine said throwing a pillow at Terrance. Terrance got up and grabbed the soda Justine was offering. "Are you going to head home or stay here?"
"I need to start packing for the trip. So I'm going home. Tell your mom I said hi but I'm going home." Terrance grabbed her keys on the coffee table.
"Alright, are you going to use Wings or one of my horses?" Wings the nickname of Terrance's horse. The horses full name was "Let the Elven Sprits take Flight"
"I suppose I'll use my horse. What's the point of having a horse if you don't use it?"
"Good point, bye Ter."
"See ya, Jessy." Terrance walked out the front door and walked towards her car. She unlocked the door and climbed in. She turned the car on and sped off home. Out of no where her cell phone went off, scaring her. She swerved to the left but quickly gaining control again she pulled over to the side of the road. She grabbed her cell phone and saw it was Vicky's number. She answered "Terrance here, whattcha wont?"
"Terrance, are we still doin' the trip?" Vicky asked
"Yes, your usin' Butter Cup." Terrance answered back.
"Butter Cup?!?! More like Butter Ball!" Vicky yelled into the phone. Terrance pulled the cell away and started back on the road.
"Hey she's a good horse. I trained on the horse, that horse still has some spirit in her and besides she must be better than your horse if Justine said you were using her and not Milly. I swear that horse has peanuts for brains. She's crazy."
"Hey watch it before I kick your ass."
"Can you call back I'm on the road." Terrance asked as she turned into another street.
"Oh sure, bye." Terrance hung up the phone and made on last turn into her driveway. Her mother was still at work so she had the whole house to herself. After gather her things she got out off the car but tripped over a meowing cat at her feet. She fell into the grass, flat on her face. She got up and grabbed her pierce and keys off the ground and eyed the cat. She petted it and walked towards the porch. She opened the front door and through her stuff on the floor. She walked into the Kitchen and made a small snack.
The house phone rang and she answered it. "TERRANCE!!! Where's my duffel bag! You were the last one to have it! I've looked everywhere for it!!!" Justine yelled into the receiver.
"Jessy, honey. Did you look under that big pile of clothes in the corner of your room?" Terrance asked climbing the stares up to her room. When she got there she set done on the steps listening to her friend.
"Okay, you were right its there. See you bright and early 6 am right? Oh and by the way I get to do this because Vicky just called and now there's a ringing in my ear" Terrance quickly pulled the phone away form her ear. Justine screamed a high pitch scream and even though the phone was at arms length it still hurt her ears.
"Bye Justine" Terrance said cheerfully. Terrance got up and walked towards her room. She opened the door and shut it behind her. A few moments later she heard another car pull into the driveway, mother was home.
After a few hours of packing, the phone rang once more. Terrance's mother answered it. "TERRY!! PHONE CALL!"
"OK MOTHER!" Terrance yelled back "I can here" She said to herself. She picked up her phone and listened.
"Terrance, I can't remember how many days the trail is." A voice asked
"5,Vicky, I'm gunna go to bed soon so don't bother calling unless you have a major death wish." Terrance hang up the phone and made her way over to her bed. She fell onto and wrapped the covers around her. Soon she drifted into a deep sleep.
