Showjumping Girl

Chapter Two

After mum had told me she had a surprise for me she never spoke of it again, although has only been two since she told me I really wanted to know what it was. This weekend I had no shows but I had a lesson with my instructor on Saturday and Sunday on both Vicky and Freddie which I was excited about, I was jumping 1.40m on Freddie.

It was now Thursday afternoon and I was mucking out stables since I hadn't done them before school today. When I saw a truck coming up my driveway, I stood there watching it and then it pulled up by the stables and driver got out. The was a transport one, I was really confused to why it was here.

The man came over to me and asked it I was Ashleigh Styles and I replied yes.

"Well in this truck I have a horse for you"

"Excuse? I'm not expecting a horse" I said

"It's what the surprise was Ash" my mum said behind me

"You got me a new horse?"

"It's not any horse, go unload it"

The man put the ramp down and I walked up to it and noticed it was my favourite horse of my instructors horse the one and only Shiraz.

"OMG, he's mine now?"

"Yes hunny, John thought you should have him and compete him in the Olympic cup as well as Vicky, so you have a better chance." My mum said

"Omg, I've got to tell Luke"

---
I rung Luke and after a while he answered

"Luke?"

"Hey Ash"

"Guess what"

"What?"

"So you know Shiraz, johns horse and how he's my favourite of his horses?"

"Yes I know who Shiraz is"

"Well he's not johns anymore"

"Oh, who did he sell him to?"

"Me!!!!!"

"Omg are serious!"

"Yes omg omg!"

Since I had already worked Vicky in the morning and Freddie when I got home from school, I decided to take Shiraz for a ride.

Since I had only ridden him twice, I only jumped him around a course of 1.10m and he jumped so amazing.

Now that I had three on my team and I was going to take Shiraz to the grand nationals I was changing Vicky from the 1.40m to the 1.30m so then I would jump Shiraz in the 1.40m the 1.50m and the Grand Prix.

----
The weekend had finally come and I had already had all my lessons on my 3 horses. Vicky had jumped an amazing course of 1.60m, Freddie had jumped 1.40m for the first time and didn't have a rail down at all. Then I jumped Shiraz 1.30m and he jumped so good like all of them, I couldn't wait for the Grand nationals which is in 2 weeks time but we leave a week earlier since it takes a good 2 days to get there. So we will be leaving on Wednesday.

---
Today was my last lesson before we leave in three days. I was riding Shiraz at the moment jumping 1.60m when we jumped the second fence and he bucked right after it and I wasn't expecting it so I fell off.
Whoops!

Vicky and Freddie both jumped great!

----
It was Tuesday afternoon and I was washing Vicky now, when my phone rung and I was surprised, it was the girl that didn't like me and I didn't particularly like her either. Her name was Vanessa.
