i walk into the arena and everything seems to start to slow, this always happens, whenever i enter the arena my breath starts to slow, my hearts picks up the pace a little and i hear nothing but mine and my horses breaths slowly coming together at the same pace.
The judges ring the bell and off we go, over the first jump and the second, sharp turn on the third jump but still cleared it, a smile slowly forms on my face, we might have luck on our side today and clear them all. Over the triple we go, clearing it in one swift movement. OVer the cross pole oxer only clearing it by a millimetre as it wobbles on its stand. two more jumps left.
Two jumps. Two jumps left. The hardest two jumps left. My heart picks up its beat and it feels as though it'll burst out my chest. Two more and 30 seconds of time. We can do it. I'm sure of it. Sharp turn. He took the stride too early. We're going to miss it. But he saved it with the tiniest bit of movement in his back legs. One. One jump left and if we clear it we could win the competition. 2 strides. 1...2...Brodie launches himself into the air like a cannonball.
"A clear round for Elizabeth Granger and her horse Gyspsy Joker!" announces the commentator, pride bubbles up within me, i feel a smile forming on my face, we do a canter lap while i praise brodie, he deserved it, this was his last show for another two years, we are taking a break for his happiness, so he can have more free time in the field and isnt working his butt off every day and for my benefit because i need to study hard, because of exams coming up, im going back to shows once my big exams are over.

A/N : Hi, so i would like to say that im really enjoying writing these stories and i feel really appreciated by @chestnutbitch who has voted in a few of my chapters and i have thanked them personally and im sorry if you dont want to be mentioned but too late because you have seriously helped my confidence go from a 50 to a 70 so thank you so much for this.
i would also like to mention that im writing another book at thhe same time as this but it aint gonna be published to i finish this one because i would like to finish a book before starting to publish another, in case you were confused or anything by the name of the horser in this chapter, brodie's show name is Gypsy Joker, and thats real brodie's show name as well, but im getting this whole weekend bit done right now because the real brodie has retired on the 11/03/2023 so im just having a hard time accepting it so brodie in this story might not be mentioned for a while but i dont know when im going to publish this but by that point i might be feeling a bit better and might've edited the chapters to mention brodie.
i know this is a lot to read and im really sorry about that, please vote and/or comment and again special thanks to @chestnutbitch for how supportive you've been.
