I turn on the car, pushing though the thoughts after what had happened two weeks ago. My baby, who was one month, was taken out of her room at night. I've had family support though this whole thing but all I what is my baby. The car rumbles as I drive down drive way, of my new house. Adam, my husband and I bought this house two weeks before Maddison was welcomed into this world and now we've been in here for two months. The house is all unpacked because all I can do is keep busy. I've been trying to get a job as we need the money. That's where I'm of to today, I've got an interview and 'Saddle Shooop and More'. I turn of the dirt road past Mickayla's house and on to Millers Drive. I reach the corner and see that there's a horse trailer laying on the road. I little further up is two cars crashed into each other. I pull over and stop the car. As I run over to see if everyone is alright and man comes over to me. "Are you guys alright?" I ask.
"Yeah but I can't calm me horse down." He says.
"Ok let me help." I walk over to the horse and slowly crouch
Down beside it. It's a beautiful Mouse Grey gelding. He kicks and tries to get up but fails by the barb wire fence that's stopping him. "Shhhh.." I tell him. "Easy boy, clam down." He starts to calm down as I rub his shoulder. "That's it boy." I say as I put my hand over his eyes. By the time his owner comes over the horse is calmed down but his owner sends him into a kicking attack. "Shhhhh...." he cuts the fence off the horse with a pair off pliers. Once the fence was cut, I grab his lead rope and slowly get up with the horse. He rears and kicks. "Wow, easy boy. Calm down." I say reaching out to him. He calm down and his owner takes his lead. "He's lame," he says. "Me names John and this is me horse Fire Jumper. I was gonna put him in the Olympics but he no hope. Sooo better just better put em down." He starts walking away with the horse but I run after him, "Stop. Let him try to fix him, I can train him, get him back on the Olympics" I say stopping him.
"No, it'll cost to much."
"No it won't, cheap fee. 100-200 a night. Please." I beg.
"Maybe, here's me cell. Call me tomorrow and I'll give you me answer."
"Ok my name Tia, by the way." He walks down to him crashed car. Rude.

"Hey babe." I say to my husband dropping my keys in the marble kitchen bench. "How was your day." Adam asks. "Eventful." I sit on a wooden chair, he comes over to me and gives me a kiss. "There was this crab at the corner of Millers Drive and a horse was involved."
"Oh no, really. How bad was it." He says.
"Not to bad, everyone was ok including the horse." I say standing up to go to the fridge. "Actually I kind of saved the horse." I get a water bottle out of the fridge. "That's good, how was your interview." He asks.
"I didn't make it but I may have a job tomorrow. The owner of the horse said he consider letting me train his horse back into shape." I say.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, 100 or 200 a night. Feed, water and shelter included."
"That would be an interesting job but what would you do after it."
"Don't know?" Our conversation kind of ended their as Adam wet out and watched TV. "I'm gonna go get changed and then do some riding on Champagne." I say, Adam nods as I walk up stairs. Champagne or Champ is my chestnut trick riding horse, I've had her for less then three weeks and she's a great horse. Just like the house, I've been keeping busy with her. We know how to do a lot of tricks, the Spin The Horn is my favourite. She's a really good horse but I've had to go to the gym a lot. Some other tricks that I can do are:
One foot drag
Back drag
Spritz stand
Shoulder stand
Reverse one foot stand
Forward fender
Layout fender (Indian Hideaway)
Spin the horn
Hippodrome
Vault
After I got dressed I walk down stairs and out to the stables. Boomer winners saying 'Hello.' I give him a hug and say I. "We'll go for a ride this arvo." I walk over to Champ and tack her up.
I mont her I the sand area and warm her up. She rides nice but a little off with her trot. I work on her trot and once I'm happy with her balance I start to do some tricks. My second favourite trick is the death drag but it's the most dangerous one. You have to swing down behind the horse with your head close to the ground while the horse is in a galloping. I haven't been able to do it in a canter yet and I should have someone watching me but who cares, I don't have a live to live if I don't have my baby...
