Chapter 1
Stella Brown was your typical horse mad girl. She strode into the stables, taking in the smell of horse sweat & hay. She strolled over to the stable with the nameplate that read "Firenze" and unbolted the door. She stepped inside, and there was the most gorgeous horse. He was a bay, fairly stocky, around 15.2hh. Just the sight of him made Stella smile.
"Hey there, Firenze," Stella whispered, "Are you going to be good today when I ride you?"
Firenze nickered, as if to say yes. Stella grinned, and walked out of the stable to go to the tack room and fetch Firenze's tack. She pressed Firenze's bit to his mouth and he took it at once. She fastened the straps on the bridle and Firenze held his head perfectly still. She placed the heavy saddle onto his back and done up his girth. Firenze puffed out his belly, but then reluctantly sucked it back in when Stella asked.
"We're going to be doing some jumping today, Firenze," said Stella, "You mustn't go all strong like you did with that beginner you were carrying last week!"
Firenze stomped his foot, getting impatient.
"Ok, ok! We'll go now!" laughed Stella.
