The Storm Before Dawn

Chapter 19

Today is November 1st. Only 29 full more days until my show. I know that seems like a long time, but I still am helping my mom with the rescues and other barn chores. I have to get four horses ready for it! I sent in my entry yesterday and here is what I signed up for.

_Gunner_

Third level 1 and 2

Showjumping 4-5 foot

_Onyx_

Three Day eventing 3-4 foot

_Flash_

First level 1 and 2

Showjumping 4-5 foot

_Dawn_

Training 2 and 3

Showjumping 1-2 foot

Even though the show is over a course of three days I am going to be busy.

I asked Zoe and Zara if they wanted to come with me, Zoe could and was really excited about it, but Zara's mom and dad were going on a vacation and she was going to her aunts. Zœ and I were super excited about it and we were planning like no one's business. We were coming up for a work schedule and stuff like that.

Sky was got her stitches out a little while ago, and was feeling so much better! Joi's pregnancy was going smoothly and Zœ and I were coming up with names. We have come up with this:

Fillies:

Super Nova (Nova)

Milky Way (Milky)

Rising Joi (Rise)

Colts:

Rising Gold (Trophy)

Star made of Joy (Happy)

Our favourites are Super Nova and Rising Gold.

November 2nd

Beep... Beep... BEEP!!

Another Monday morning with school and working horses. I look at my clock 4'0 clock. This is definitely a down to working so many horses, and helping with chores in the barn.

I slip on my jeans and an old t-shirt. Twisting my hair into a bun I trot out to the barn and grab a wheel barrel. I quickly clean out my horse's stalls and a few of the rescue horses. My phone dinged and I checked it.

Zœ: U up?

AS: Since like 4

Zœ: Can i come over?

AS: Sure

Zœ: Do u need help?

AS: Some of the rescues need 2 b worked.

Zœ: Ok

AS: I need 2 go work Flash and Gunner

Zœ: C u soon!

Dumping the wheel barrel and putting it back in the tack room I grab Flash's tack and grooming kit. We left some of the horses in the pasture last night, and Flash was one of them.

It hasn't started raining yet so it wasn't muddy just dusty. Flash cantered up to the gate when I whistled for him.

"You ready for a ride?"

He nickered and bobbed his head up and down. I quickly tacked him up and warmed him up before asking him for some extensions and leg-yielding. He was really soft and easy to collect. We worked for another half hour then I put him away and went to get Star out.
