My first Competition (Horse story)

It was 7 AM Saturday morning. I opened my eyes and looked out my window to see my horse Pine galloping in her field. I knew today was going to be a long hard day because it was exactly one week from my first competition . Although I've been riding for 5 1/2 years. One of the problems with this would be Angela. Angela started riding at the same time as me, but she has been doing shows for three years. I rolled out of bed and dragged myself downstairs for breakfast. "hi mom" I said when I reached the kitchen "what is for breakfast?" "Bacon, eggs, and toast" my mom said before handing my dad plate with bacon and eggs.

"You excited for your competition next week?" my dad said opening up his newspaper. "Yeah" I said quietly. Then I munched down my breakfast and ran upstairs to get changed for school. After I pulled on a pair of jeans and top I quickly brushed my teeth and pulled my brown hair into a nice ponytail. Then I hurried downstairs and grab my bag. "Bye mom bye dad" I yelled running out the door.

I went out to the paddock my horse was in and kissed her. Pine my horse was 17.2 hands and a Palomino. Then I went to catch my bus.

When I got on my bus I saw me BFF's Meghan and Reagan. " hey Emma!" Meghan said. I sat down beside them. " how is Poppy?" I ask Meghan

Poppy was 16.2 hands, and black with a white star

" she is better now. The vet said that her hoof is ok but I can't ride her for 7 weeks," Meghan said sadly.

"oh. What about the show?" Reagan asked.

"I am dropping out," Meghan said as our other BFF Elle got on

" Hi guys! What's new?" Elle said as she sat down beside me.

"Poppy and Meghan are dropping out of the show next week" Reagan replied sadly.

"Oh," Elle said, "Emma can I still come to your barn tonight to start to get ready with Ally?" Ally was 17.2 hands, and she was a brown Quarter horse and Arabian mix that had one white stocking.

"Ya my mom said yes but you have to come at 4,5 or 6 o'clock," I said.

Finally we were at school as soon at we all got off the bus Meghan said to us well pointing at a new kid "He's cute." Then we all giggled because that was something she did a lot.

After we were in the class we found out that the boys name was Christopher.

By the end of the day I was counting the seconds till school was out. I new Pine was going to be happy when I get home because I ride her tonight.

On the bus ride home all I could think about my show and Pine. The second I got home I went to see Pine. She was happy to see me but I had to go do my homework and have dinner before I could ride with Elle.

" Hi Honey," mom said tome as I walked in the door and sat my bag down, "Do you have homework and don't forget to do your chores."

"ok mom," I said well going upstairs to do my homework
