"Silver, Look where you are going." Heather Fox said . I saw that I had missed a vertical that I was supposed to jump. Charm, my chestnut thoroughbred / draft cross, tossed his head in confusion as I gave him mixed signals.

"Sorry, I lost focus." I said.

"Yeah I noticed. Now do the course again and this time don't screw up." Heather said as she fixed her plum sweater. Heather and I have been friends for some time now. When times where ruff for me heather and her two friends , who call themselves the trio, really helped me out. Even if the wont admit it. Julia ,a former trio member, has since been expelled for writing an unfriendly blog. Now it is only Heather and Alison.

I cantered Charm towards the first jump. Charmed jumped over the 3ft high oxer with ease. I turned him to the right towards a triple combination. The jumps varied in size. I guided him toward the jump that we had missed earlier. Charm started to hesitate. I pushed him with my seat and hands. Charm rocked back on his haunches as I lifted up in the saddle. I realized when we were in the air that we took off to early. Charm hit the top rail of the jump and landed on the soft ground hard. I lost both my sturips and started to slip to the right. I clutched the front of the saddle and halted Charm and dismounted not wanting to look at Heather I know what she will say.

"Sasha, what is going on!" Heather said.

"Nothing just thinking of Brit. I hope her first date alone with Andy goes well"

Heather sighed as she dismounted. "So do I but that doesn't mean you can mess up on your riding. Now get back up on Charm and do that last jump again." I nodded as I mounted Charm. Brit had been attending to Canterwood crest academy for a couple months. She and I were instant bffs. We have been living together for a couple of months and it has been going great. She and Andy have been crushing on each other ever since Brit came to Canterwood. Brit was so excited to go out with Andy alone tonight. They have gone on dates with my boyfriend Jacob and I.

I guided Charm over the last jump this time I put my full focus on the jump and Charm. We cleared the jump and I dismounted charm and started to walk him around the big indoor arena.

"See you later silver." Heather said as she and Aristocrat, her dark chestnut thoroughbred gelding, walked in the barn.

I led charm into the barn and saw my friend Callie.

"Hey Callie , what's going on and hey Black Jack" I said to Callie and her black morab gelding.

"Hey Sasha and just going riding."

"Have fun" I said as Charm and I walked to his stall. I untacked Charm and led him into his stall.

"Bye boy I love you." I told Charm but he already had his head in his hay net.

I when I got to Orchard I decided to tackle the mound of homework I had just for that day. Canterwood was known for its extremely tuff classes. If you work hard enough you should do well.

I had just closed my algebra book when Brit walked in.

"OMIGOSH how was your…Brit what's wrong." I said alarmed. Brit has tears draining down her face.

"It's Apollo. On my date I got a call from his owner. She sold him to a girl in New York. He is leaving next week."

"Oh Brit , I am so sorry I knew you were dreading this day. Let's go talk to the Trio, I mean Alison and Heather." I said after I hugged her.

"No, you go I just want to be alone anyway"

"You sure"

Brit nodded and I grabbed my keys. I went to the 2/3 of the trio's suit and knocked on the door. Alison opened the door. Her long sandy brown hair was in a loose bun.

"Hey Sasha come in." Alison said." Did Brit come back from her date yet?"

"Um yeah that's what I wanted to talk to you guys about."

"What did Andy do and what should we do to get revenge?" Heather said.

"It's not Andy. She got a call from Apollo's owner. He got sold and he is leaving next week." I explained to them.

"You're joking!" Alison exclaimed.

"I wish I was but now we have to comfort Brit and help her find a better horse then Apollo, even if she thinks that's impossible."

"No, there is another thing we can do." Heather said.

Back at my dorm Brit, Heather , Alison and I were talking about Apollo.

"You don't know who bought him." Alison asked

"No I don't know anything about the sale but I do know one thing I am never riding again." Brit said.

"OH yes you are. You know since you said that we are going to practice now." Heather demanded.

"No Heather I don't want to see Apollo right now" Brit said.

"Do you want me to yank on your riding clothes."

"FINE!" Brit yelled.

At the stables we all had our horses tacked up and lead them into indoor arena.

"I say we do something really difficult so it will keep our minds off of stuff." Heather suggested and we all nodded.

"I say we do dressage. Let's start with some turns on the haunches at the canter." Alison suggested and again we nodded.

"Ok I will go fist, then Alison, then Brit, and last Sasha so we can show her how it's done." Heather said as I gave her a mean look.

Heather cantered Aristocrat to the end of the arena and cut threw the middle. At the middle of the arena Heather signaled for a turn. Immediately Aristocrat turned on his haunches. After the turn Heather cantered over to us. After Heather, Alison went and did just as well. It was Brits turn.

"Sasha, you go first then I will go. Please?" Brit asked me. I nodded and turned Charm towards the end of the arena. I canted charm towards the middle and gave him the signal. He swished his tail in confusion. I strained him out and asked again but this time I put more presser on his side. Time he listened. I patted charm and cantered him back to the group.

"Ok Brit your turn." I said. Brit nodded and cantered Apollo to the end of the arena. Brit had a death grip on the reins. Apollo was getting frustrated as he tried to move forward. Brit asked him for a turn but Apollo wasn't listing at all. Normally Brit would stay calm and ask him again but she got frustrated as well.

"Come on Apollo!" Brit exclaimed now giving Apollo mixed signals. Apollo was so frustrated that he reared!

"Brit!" I screamed as I cantered Charm over to the two. When Apollo had all four hooves on the ground I grabbed his reins.

"Brit are you alright." I asked her.

" I'm FINE!." Brit screamed at me as she got back on Apollo. I was still holding on to him incase he reared again. Brit yanked the rein out of my hand and almost galloped Apollo toward the middle.

"Brit slow down!" Heather said. Brit tried to turn Apollo on his haunches. Again Brit gave him mixed signals. Apollo wouldn't turn. Brit got mad and dismounted. She started to scream at him.

"WHY ARENT YOU DOING IT YOU STUPID HORSE." Brit screamed. I realized she was crying now. Apollo got so scared that he galloped away from her. He was running everywhere. His reins where dangling in front of his legs.

"Whoa boy. Whoa." I turned to look at where the voice came from. Mr. Connor. Oh no Brit was going to get in big trouble.
