New Heights

chapter 2

¨Lila!¨ I hear an urgent voice say behind me. It is Mackenzie. Mackenzie is my best friend, i've known her since kinder garden. Mackenzie is one of those bouncy people that gets exited about anything that comes her way. ¨Have you heard?¨ ¨heard about what?¨ I say in an interested tone.  ¨Hilltops is doing a colt challenge!¨ ¨This could be your chance!¨ Mackenzie said in delight. Hilltops was the local pony club, I used to take stormy there every weekend to do lessons and rally's.

¨Thanks but no thanks¨ ¨I think I should just be helping out with the client pony's¨I say in a annoyed tone knowing Mackenzie was not going to let  this go till I say yes. ¨No¨ she says putting on her best selling voice. ¨what did you think you were gonna do after stormy?¨ ¨You gotta put your self out there!¨ ¨plus this way you get it for free¨ ¨Mrs cooper is donating her colts and filly's to the challenge and you know how hard it is to let someone else train her     horses this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.¨ putting a stop to Mackenzie's rambling I sigh and say i'll do it if you do it.¨

******************************************

The day before the challenge was torture. Listening to Mackenzie call every 5 seconds and asking what I thought the youngsters will be like . Honestly I was pretty exited I mean my mother used to train horses but I had never done It myself!

My mother died when I was 5 years old. She was in a car accident, I was to little to little to know what was going on. I had asked my dad when my mum was coming home. She never did. She was on the way back from a clinic. All I know is my mum had been a horse trainer, She had trained stormy she had done well. Before we had owned stormy he had been abused. Whipped. He still has a scar on his face. When my mum found him she immediately knew she had to save him and so she did. She had worked hard to get him to the friendly little gelding he is today. 

¨Lila¨ a call shouted from down stairs. It was my dad. ¨phone¨he called again. I rushed down stairs to answer the phone. I picked it up and held it to my ear ¨Hello¨ I say in a shy but steady voice. ¨Hello Lila ¨ a voice boomed from the other end of the phone. Immediately I knew who It was. Rick Williams. Hes one of the many trainers at hilltops and my personal favourite. ¨Oh hi Mr Williams¨ I say wondering why he was calling. ¨I understand you have signed up for the colt challenge.¨ Yes Mr Williams¨ ¨Well we only have so much stables here at hilltops I was wondering If some of the colts and filly's come to stay with you?¨ ¨The trainers of coarse will come over to train their horses.¨ he says in his royal like British accent¨I think my dad would be fine with that¨ ¨splendid¨ he says ¨can you pass him onto me so I can let him know about the details?¨ ¨sure I say with excitement knowing my best friends would get to come over and train.
