It had been about 2 months since Midnight and I had been training together, I thought we were ready for a simple competition, so I found a signup sheet and printed it out. Then I ran to Midnight's stall and showed him.
"look Midnight, it's a walk-trot hunter show, I think we can compete in it," I said waving the paper in front of his face
Midnight knickered,
"Your such a good boy Midnight," I said
I filled in the sheet and sent it off to the people who run the show, I was super excited to show with Midnight. It was in two weeks, so I trained for it with Midnight a lot.
Two Weeks Later
The sun gleamed through my window and hit my rug, I glanced at my alarm clock, 8:00 am, the show was at noon at 12:00 pm. My mother came in with a box.
"Here I bought you this for your show today." She said
Mother set it on my bed and left my room. I opened the box and inside there was a brand new set of English riding clothes, They were beautiful. I took a shower then put on the clothes. Mother had prepared a lovely breakfast of pancakes, orange juice and strawberry sauce. It was delicious. After breakfast, I gave Midnight a bath and braided his mane and tail. I attached ribbons onto the end of the braids, he looked beautiful. Father got the trailer ready and we loaded Midnight in. Then we were off, off to our first show.
When we arrived a man greeted me and asked for my name.
"Amy and this is Midnight." I said kindly.
The man led us to a stall to keep Midnight until the show started.
30 Minutes Later
I was on in five minutes, so I tacked Midnight up and brought him to the ring. The class before was just finishing their show. Then it was our turn, I mounted Midnight and a few other horses followed me in. We started with a walk going around the ring a few times, then we moved up to a trot. A squirrel ran across the ring, it scared a few horses including Midnight. He reared to far, falling onto his back. I fell off earlier and lay there beside Midnight, motionless. I was unconscious and could not see anything. I could here Midnight get up and was pacing around me. Mother and father ran down toward me examining me. They called nine one one and a few minutes later the ambulance came to the ring. I was brought into the ambulance and went off to the hospital. Midnight was limping and he was brought to the vet.
After a few minutes of being at the hospital, I opened my eyes and looked around.
"Where am I? Where's Midnight? Is he okay?" I asked nervously
"Yes he is fine, he is at the vet and you're at the hospital. Imgonna go let the doctor know you're awake." Mother said as she exited the room.
After a few minutes, the doctor came in and examined me.
"She has got a broken leg and a little bit of a concussion, I would keep her off horseback until the concussion is fully healed, and so is her leg." The doctor said
"I won't be able to ride Midnight?" I asked
"No, not for a while." The doctor said
"But you will after you heal." Mother said
We talked for a while till it got late. Mother and father headed home while I stayed at the hospital for the night. I was worried about Midnight, the last I heard of him was when he was pacing around me. I fell asleep dreaming about him, hurt and scared.
