I looked down at my brand new shiny black leather gloves. "This is it" I think to myself. I look into the dressage ring and watch the competitor before me, she was good. I cringe at the thought of loosing. No I'm not a rich pride who only cares about winning, but if I don't win this competition Checkers is getting sold. Checkers is my black warmblood gelding. "Next into the ring is Lilly Seen riding Checkers". It's time to shine Checkers!
We trot into the ring and stop at X, I remember to salute. Now a half pass. All of a sudden there is a flash and a bunch of screaming. Checkers bucks I try to calm him down but it doesn't work, he rears and I slide out of the saddle on to the ground. I hear a terrified whinny and everything goes black.

Three days later
"What should we do about checkers?" A feminine voice says sounding worried
I open my eyes to see my parents talking. "What? What's wrong with Checkers?!" I say. "Honey your awake!" My dad says. "What is wrong with Checkers?!" I say again.
"Well he fractured his fetlock when he flipped over on you" My mom says. "Will he be ok?" I ask. "Well he will need lots of care" my parents say together. "But I will take care of him!" I yell. "Well first you need to worry about your self" they say.
