Chapter 27: The Final Show

Alice POV

"Casey are you almost ready to go? We don't want to be late!" I called up the stairs. She was fifteen now and still always seemed to be rushing around getting ready at the last minute. Today was going to be a big day. Today was the day of Casey and Catty's last horse show together. Catty was getting older and wasn't as good as clearing the higher fences as he used to be. Casey still loved Catty, we all did, and we were still going to own him and Casey was still going to ride him every day to exercise him and in lessons. They were just both retiring from shows.

Casey ran down the stairs in her best riding outfit finally ready to go. She picked up her bag full of grooming tools and things she would need to get Catty ready to win his last blue ribbon.

"Okay I'm ready to go." She said.

"Wait! One minute!" Esme called. She was upset that she wouldn't be coming with us today. She was going hunting with Carlisle and Edward. She was a nervous wreck; every time Casey was near a horse Esme was always there and even though she had fallen off multiple times she never had gotten really hurt.

"Good luck," She said and hugged Casey.

"I might need it!" Casey replied.

"Okay everyone else is in the cars, can we just go now?" I asked getting annoyed.

"Olay Alice!" She said grabbing my arm and pulling me out the door.

We arrived at the barn in record time. The barn was small and cozy. It was our favorite of all the barns we had to move Catty to. It was just perfect. It had a riding ring and tons of trails to ride on. It wasn't spotless but it was just perfect to me.

Catty stood in his stall munching quietly on hay when we came in. People were rustling all around us trying to get their horses ready to compete. Their were horses, riders, trainers, vets, braiders, judges, and parents everywhere all running around the small barn.

Casey had cleaned Catty's saddle and had him tacked quickly. We had come and braided his mane last night and it held well, we only had to make a few light adjustments in the tail. He was a pony and you didn't have to braid his mane and tail, but Casey always liked it done.

We led Catty out of his stall and checked in with Casey's trainer.

"Okay. Case you ready? You're going to show in the three foot class, but since he's a pony they lower the jumps to two feet six inches. All right? Okay, good luck!" she said as she walked over to the next girl.

We went over to our seats to watch the show. The first horse and rider pair was going into the ring for the dressage competition. If I was an equestrian I would defiantly do eventing. In eventing you get to do a little bit if everything. You show your grace and training in dressage, your endurance and speed in cross country, and a little bit of both in show jumping.

We watched all of the horses and riders do the different tests then it was time for Casey to have lunch. We ate in the field behind the barn under the big tree in the shade. It was so peaceful.

"Can you believe that after today Catty and I are never going to show again!" Casey asked.

"I can't, we've been driving all around the country so you could show that pony and now it's all over." Rosalie said.

"Yeah, but most of it was fun," Jasper added.

"We've had a lot of fun too!" I said.

"Yeah remember when Emmett fell in the muck bucket!" Casey reminded us and we all laughed.

"That was hilarious!" Rosalie said.

'No it wasn't, not for me at least." Emmett said pouting.

"We'll it was pretty funny for us!" I said as Jasper patted him on the back rewarding his idiocy.

"Remember our first show ever?" Casey said lying back in the grass.

"Yeah I have to say that was the best one of all," said Rosalie.

"It was right before we moved on your birthday," Jasper said.

"Wow things have really changed!" I said lying down next to my little sister.

We stayed in that field for a while. Maybe taking its beauty in or maybe reminiscing. It didn't matter. We were together and Casey and Catty were going to compete in a little while. Things felt alright. Just perfect.

The they announced that the three foot jump class was beginning. We all jumped from where we sat and laid and headed out toward the riding ring.

We sat back in our seats and watched a couple of girls and boys ride. They were doing pretty well for the difficulty and height of the course. Then Casey went over to the warm up area to get Catty ready to go out and compete.

There were three jumps set up and Casey following the routine she now knew by heart. She always would take Catty through his paces first before she even tried to jump him. Then she would jump the practice jumps three times and be done. She always did the same thing and she always looked good doing it. She was the best child rider I had ever seen, but then again I'm probably biased.

"Now we have number twenty four Casey Cullen riding Catty Wumpas!" I announcer called out over the loudspeaker as Casey rode into the ring.

She stopped at the starting line and pat Catty on the neck whispering something to him. She sat up straight again and listened for the bell. It rang and Catty sprinted out onto the course. The rule was no talking why Casey is riding so we were all silent. The cleared the first fence just barely, it looked like Catty was having a hard time clearing the fences, but then again it was the first fence he was just getting going. The next two fences went fine and the fourth Catty jumped with inches to spare! It was going so well!

I clapped my hands together and they cleared the next two jumps which were set up as a combination at a slight angle. Catty ran so well for her. Her blonde hair blew with the wind as they ran and jumped. I was so happy! It looked like we were leaving here today with another blue ribbon to add to the collection!

The last jump was set away from the rest slightly. It was an oxer, one of the jumps that Casey found difficult to count strides for. I saw her mouthing the numbers counting to the right number until they would take off.

Then something happened. Catty took off early without warning. Casey wasn't prepared, but after riding Catty do much she leaned forward anyway. When Catty's forefeet struck the ground one came out from under him. Casey went flying and Catty flipped over landing on his back struggling to get to his feet. We all raced out into the ring.

Okay I'm still looking for music for the playlist and a name for the sequel!!!! PEASE HELP ME!!! I have one suggestion but I need more and then I'm going to put up a poll so that everyone can pick the name!
