Lea nudged Rachel in the side with her elbow as Pam explained to Tara what she was going to do and on whom. "I bet she'll fall off! That would be so funny! Am I right? Am I right?!! Ha-ha!" she laughed quietly, clutching her stomach for air.

Pam nodded and walked over to Rachel and Lea. "Girls, watch over Tara and don't let her hurt herself, okay? Rachel, I'm putting you in charge of both girls. Don't let them get into another fight again, okay? Thanks a million you guys, I owe you." Pam waved slightly and walked back to her office.

"Yeah, we'll take real good care of Tara, right Rachel?" Lea said to herself, winking to Rachel.

Talamanca whinnied to Domingo, the short 14.2 hand high pony that Tara was saddling. She rode English as well, just like Rachel. She and Domingo showed in the class lower than her, the 14.0-14.3 hand high class. Rachel was in the 15.0-15.3 hand high class.

"Okay, all ready to go. Want to do a few jumps, Rachel? We could go almost simultaneously!" she suggested cheerfully.

Rachel nodded and smiled, moving Willow off towards the jumping arena once again. He whinnied loudly and she laughed a bit.

Lea groaned and looked away from Tara and Rachel chatting on and on about horses and their favorite breeds, favorite color, favorite type of jumps, and so on and so forth.

Once they reached the arena, Rachel, Lea, and Tara all dismounted and fixed a few jumps. Tara set up an oxer, Rachel set up a high jump, and Lea set up a cavaletti.

"Okay, I'll go first, unless Rachel wants to," Tara said, about to let Domi move forth.

"No, I'll go first," Lea snapped, giving Tara a quick glare and then cantering Tala toward the first jump, an oxer. Talamanca picked up some speed, leaping over the double jump. Tala then turned to the right, changing her lead, and then jumping over the cavaletti, then turning to the right once again and jumping over the high jump. Tala's back leg brushed against the top bar, knocking it over and spooking Tala. "No! Bad! You stupid horse…" she murmured, dismounting and forcing Talamanca to move forward, pulling hard on the reins.

"Hey, take it easy. What did Tala ever do to you?" Tara said, dismounting and taking the reins from Lea's hands.

Lea's face turned red with anger, "I can do whatever I want! Now give me back Talamanca!" she shouted, spooking Tala once again. "Stop that, you stupid horse! God…"

Rachel watched silently, she had had enough. "That's enough out of you two! Lea, you and Tala stand over by the cavaletti. Tara, you and Domi stand over by the Oxer. Until then, you two are not going to talk or fight or anything. You are not even going to look at each other! Okay?!!" she exclaimed, pointing both in opposite directions from each other. Rachel groaned loudly and trotted over to Pam, who was busy typing on her laptop.

"Is something wrong between Lea and Tara again? I can hear them, those two are loud," Pam said, looking up from her laptop.

Rachel nodded, "Yes, they are really loud. They won't stop shouting; they are so mad that their horses are spooking."

Pam shook her head, "That is disappointing. They should know better than to do that, especially with the horses so close by."

Rachel nodded once again. "What should we do?" she asked, walking with Pam back to the arena.

"Well, I'll talk to Tara privately. Then, you can talk to Lea, since you two are best friends and real close to each other."

"Okay, but they are kind of…in a bad mood. They won't talk much, I can tell," Rachel explained, then going over to Lea to 'chat.'

"What do you want, traitor?" Lea snapped, looking at the ground and making a small divot with the tow of her boot.

"I was just going to say 'hi' and talk to you. But since you in such a bad mood, no need to," Rachel answered scornfully, turning to walk away.

"No, it's just that you and Tara have so much in common, it seems like she is taking you from me…" Lea explained, not looking up from the divot she made.

"She is not taking me from you!"

"Oh yeah? Well here's a news flash for you, Rachel. There's no need for her to take you from me, because I'm leaving! Just go ahead and let her take you from me!" Lea exploded, taking off without Talamanca or untacking her.

"Okay, great…now I lost a friend…" Rachel muttered under her breath, heading toward Pam and Tara at the other end of the arena.
