The Riders Academy

I went up on the platform infront of my class, with four others, Lucy, Ashley,Chelsea and Erin. Plus Jess and Natalie as reserves! I received a arm-band that said 'Captain' on it, and a saddle cloth with our collage logo, and Dragon's name on it. All the team got saddle cloths, and we all got polo shirts, in our school colours of Blue and Orange, with the logo on again. It was all pretty cool. We joined hands, and celebratory-lifed them up.

I tacked up Mushu, thinking that my mare felt neglected. I was going to go into the school for a jumping session, and managed to persuade one of the grooms to put up jumps. My big grey mare was going well, and soon enough we were jumping 1.20m, good enough for an eventer. I took her inside, and started mixing feeds. After I distributed the feeds I cleaned tack; that took a while. Since all of my horses are eventers, (and I have wealthy parents and sponsors) each horse has: A black jumping saddle, a black dressage saddle, a black bridle, a flash noseband, a plain noseband, a running martingale, traveling boots, brushing boots, a collection of rugs (stable rugs, fleece rugs, traveling rugs, fluorescent rugs, fly rugs, coolers, rain sheets, lightweight outdoor rugs, mediumweight outdoor rugs, and heavyweight outdoor rugs), two saddlecloths, (one for training one for showing- but three for Taz) and two headcollars (one normal one, and one leather one).

It took me 4 1/2 hours to get through 12 saddles and 6 bridles, and I was knackered by the end of it. I grabbed the coolers, and took them to the washing-machine rooms, where there is 20 washing machines just for horse things. I stuffed the coolers in, put my coins in the dispenser, and went to the club room.
