Heads up guys! Some chapters will be longer and some shorter. I would love it if people would want to put some of their original characters in here!
The walk to Mr. Conner's office was one of the most intimidating things I have ever done. Because 1) everyone was watching me as I walked there and 2) the office was smack dap in the center of the stables…
Reaching Mr. Conner's door I saw Alex already there. Her long blond hair was pulled into a loose ponytail. I hadn't noticed her outfit earlier, but now I don't know how! Alex looked like she had walked out of a magazine. She stood there in a pair of black breeches with black knee-patches. Tucked into her breeches was a light purple long sleeved, button up. One thing I know she hadn't been wearing when she had walked in with her cremello mare.
When she heard me she turned a sharp stare my way. After looking me over she turned and then went to glare at the door in front of her.
Taking a deep breathe I stopped next to her and we both stood there in silence for a good few minutes before we heard the clicking of boots coming down the otherwise silent hallway.
Turning toward the sound Mr. Conner could be seen walking with his head held high. Upon seeing us he looked us over and then nodded his head, stepping in front of his he opened his office door and allowed us in.
Stepping in after him Alex and I stood at the back of the room and waited for Mr. Conner to start talking.
"First off," He started out," The riding you did before I got into the arena was very nice. Your collected canters and extended trots were well practiced and near perfect synchronization. One thing, Alice you need to work on keeping Fearless focused. When you were passing the windows his head would tilt to the side and his pace would slow down." Blushing slightly for being openly evaluated by Mr. Conner I nodded my head in understanding before he went on, "Next thing: Alex your letting Princes get heavy in the bridal around corners and she needs to use her back legs a little bit more. But besides that the way you rode was very clean. "
He took a breath before continuing, "But those things are small details that can easily be dealt with. What I really wanted to talk to the two of you about was something else. There is a schooling show that I know a few people need to go to," My shoulders tensed slightly before he said, "Though that doesn't include the two of you, I want you two to go."
There was a pause in the room before Alex worked up the never and asked, "Why?"
Smiling slightly at the question, Mr. Conner then said, "Because, I want the two of you to do a routine together."
At that moment I felt my jaw drop. Stumbling for words I asked, "But, why?"
"Well for one, "He started, "I know the two of you are semi-strong at flat-work, even if you are better at show jumping Ms. White, and that your two horses seem to have a similar pace at just about everyone of the gaits." He looked at the two of us for a second, gauging our reactions and then went on, "There is also the fact the two horses coats are just about the opposite of one another just will be a nice eye-catcher."
It took me a minute to prose everything then Alex said in firm tone, "OK," She paused and took a breath, "Where do I sign up?"
Mr. Conner looked at her and then at me and said, "And you Ms. White?"
Going though a mental checklist I tried to figure out if I would have anytime to even practice or be at the barn more then I was. Figuring that I had at least an extra hour I gave a defeated sigh and said, " Ok, I guess I can find time for this."
Nodding his head in approval, Mr. Conner then said, "OK, I will work out a routine when I can. The two of you are now expected to now be here a few more hours then you already are, and be polished for the schooling show by the end of December."
Glancing over to Alex I saw her biting her lip and instantly understood, December was in a month…. WE had to be ready in a month.
