I woke up at 6:00 am. No one else was up yet, so I got in the shower and got ready for the day. When I got out everyone else was awake too. I had my riding breeches on, my blue sweater, and my tall boots. I grabbed my helmet and waved goodbye to my new room mates. I rushed down to the barn and found the tack room. I didn't wanna tack up so I just grabbed my neck rope. I opened forests stall and slipped the neck rope over his dapple grey head. I then slipped his neon green halter on and led him out to the riding ring. When we got out there I walked him over to the mounting block. I couldn't mount bareback because he's 16hh and I'm only 5 ft. Tall. Once I got on him, I took his halter off and threw it over to the fence. I clicked my heels and had him at a trot. Some jumps were set up. About 3" high. I leg him to a canter and we flew over the jumps. About an hour later I looked at the time. It was 8:00. I grabbed my halter. Slipped it over forests head and led him back to his stall. Looked like someone already fed and watered for me. I ran back over to the school. They were serving breakfeast in the lunch room. I grabbed a granola bar and say with my room mates.

Jo: hey! We were just talking, wanna go down to the stables after brekfeast and meet each other's horses?

Me: sure! I'd love that!

Callie: well mines a pony but ya know! Haha!

Jo: well still.

Jenna then came over to us and sat down. We invite her to come with us after we ate. She agreed.

After we ate, we walked down to the barn. The first persons horse we sall was Jenna's.

Jenna: this is stormy!

He was a dark bay with black hair. He looked about 15hh but I wasn't sure. We then walked down the line. In the 5th stall, was Callie's horse.

Callie: this is sunshine!

Sunshine was a palomino with white hair. About 14hh he was a small pony but he was cute anyway!

Next was Jo's horse.

Jo: this is Bianca but I call her Beyoncé sometimes too!

Bianca was a beautiful tall black horse. Bianca looked a little shorter than forest but not by far!

And next was obviously mine. Jo: and last but not least, Anna show us to your horse! I led them through the farm and we stopped at the last stall. Me: here he is! His name is forest! He's 16hh everyone gave compliments as they did with the other horses. We all took our horses out into the cross ties and groomed them. Jo and Callie tacked up, but me and Jenna stayed bareback. We all went out into the arena and mounted our horses. While the other girls jumped the cross rails I jumpy the 3 ft. Jumps. Every one looked impressed. I didn't understand why. I have been riding like this for 10 years. After a while we went on a trail ride. After that we decided to go back and get dinner.
