Training A Star (Horse Story)

Star's Old Owner

I woke up the next morning with a ginormous grin on my face. I was going to ride Star for the first time!!!! I changed into my tan breeches, tall boots and a hunter green polo. I grabbed my hairbrush and brushed my hair and did a quick French braid. I ran through the kitchen and grabbed the back pack I ha organised the night before. It included a lot of apples, carrots am horse cookies, a sandwich, a power bar and a juice box. I then went to the garage and grabbed my bike then pedalled furiously to the stables. I live around 2km away so it's a quick ride.

I arrived puffed and out of breath. I saw a trailer, but it wasn't Mandy's. I thought its probably one of the students floats so I brushed all memories away of the trailer and powerwalked to Star's stall.

I saw a lady around 30 walk to the office but I was too preoccupied to notice.

When I got there I grabbed his new grooming kit and started picking out his hooves. Star nuzzled my pocket, expecting a treat. I smiled and said, "star, can u wait a minute. U can have a treat later. I then grabbed the curry comb and started working all the dead Hair out his coat. I then grabbed the body brush and started stroking his sides. He nickered happily. " So u like that?" I asked. He bobbed his head in agreement and I nearly collapsed laughing. " Awh, your a little treasure" I said.

After nearly an hour I stopped his "beauty treatment" She sparkled and shimmered in the light and looked drop dead gorgeous! I slipped the old rope halter and the new leadrope on her head then I brought her out into the aisle. I tied her to a near bye set of cross ties and grabbed her tack. I slipped the royal purple saddle blanket on her dark bay back. I then lowered my old all purpose saddle on her back.

I didn't want to use the new stuff until I was sure she didn't roll. The saddle fit her perfectly so then I did up the girth and grabbed the bridle. I slipped it onto her face and she eagerly accepted the bit. I then led her down the aisle to the indoor arena.

She stood square as I massaged her joints and did some t-touch. She was already calm but I was trying to calm myself down. I swiftly mounted and nudged her into a walk. I quickly positioned myself so I was show ready. I asked Star to walk on and she did, it was a perfect medium walk.

I then after 2 1/2 laps of my stretching and Star as well I nudged her again and she broke into a gorgeous trot. It was smooth enough to sit to effortlessly but bouncy enough to post to. Then I asked her for a canter. I soon as I did the same lady who I saw earlier came into the arena. "GET OF MY HORSE" Star went crazy, bucking and rearing, I could tell that she hated this lady. I slowly calm her down and the lady ran towards me and push me, trying to get me out of the saddle. Star then reared a d galloped to the end of the arena. She was sweating and shaking.

I dismounted and patted her and talked to her quietly. Mandy came up to me a d introduced me to the lady. "This is Brooke Stevens, Star's old owner, or so she says. she wants Star back." I said calmly to her," Ian sorry Brooke, but Star is my horse so BACK OFF!" I said the last two words so aggressively that Brooke backed away. I then led Star MY beautiful buba to his stall. " I am sooo sorry boo, Brooke is your old owner, why u were in the RSPCA so she can't hurt u. Don't worry your gorgeous little head in. Momma's always here.
