The rain pelted heavily down as it hit the metal roofing of the huge indoor arena with a pat pat pat. The rush of the wind could be heard outside, and each door adn window was closed tightly. The inside of the arena provided much comfort from the harsh weather outside. Chase led his ivory stallion into the great arena, Imperium walking his hooves kicking up the freshly churnned footing. Chase tightened the girth one last time, as he ran the stirrup leathers down. After walking Imperium around the arena for a warm up, he quickly and easily tossed the reins over the stallions head. Chase gave a quick pat to the muscled neck before sliding his foot into the stirrup iron, and easily mounting. He gathred the reins after placing his other foot in, and asked Imperium to walk. AFter walking once around the arena they picked up a smooth and effortless trot. Soon after that they picked up a rocking horse canter, as the stallions muscles rippled under the snow white skin. They soon crossed the arena, heading to a low crossrail. Imperium easily leaped over it, tossing his head as if to say 'that was easy!'. Chase then turned him to some higher oxers, soaring over them as one also.

Chris was hurrying through the rain when a horse and rider caught her eye. She stopped and stared at them jumping. She smiled "wow hes good" Chris walked over to the arena and silently watched. Her eyes followed his movements.

After running through a complicated and confusing course, Chase slowed Imperium to a trot. The stallion, stopped planting all hooves into the turf, and raising his head high. His nostrils flared open, and his ears pricked forward. His body quivered as he nickered to the girl. Chase looked up about three seconds before the stallion stopped, sensing Imperium's motions. Chase stared at the girl. He stood as statue still as the horse. AFter recovering, he flew over a couple more jumps, and slowed to a walk again. He guided Imperium over to the fence, a good distance away but not to far away. "Hi" he said finally.

Chris smiled "if u don't mind....i'll be right back" Chris rushed into the barn. She groomed and Saddled the boy and walked towards the ring. The boy whickered to the other horse throwing his head. Chris flipped the reins over his head and mounted up. She smiled at Chase.

Chase smiled back, as Imperium lowered his ears at the other horse. His stallion instincts kicked in, swishing his tail angrily, making sure to show he was ready to fight if need be. Chase gave pressure to the reins reminding Imperium, he was in charge.

Chris nudge Boy into a trot. After a few laps she clucked him into a canter. While doing serpentines she asked him to collect then extend. The stallion acted pretty behaved except the fact this his eyes were always on the other horse. After that Chris took him over a few jumps. Boy soared over them.

OOC: maybeeee  Chase watched the other horse for a minute, but then got back to buisness. With a silent and invisible cue Imperium picke up a flowing trot, extending, collecting and so on. After a lap around the arena, he picked up a counter canter, and did some flying lead changes. He tossed his head angrily when he passed Boy but Chase gave another cue for him to behave. He then began relaxing, falling into steps before jumping easily. Chase glanced at the clock and decided he and Imperium were ready. While the horse was cantering, chase hopped off, Imperium immediatly stopping once he was half an arena away. His eyes glared fire at boy wanting to fight, but also he kept an eye on Chase. Chase gave a low whistle, as Imperium turned his head staring, he then trotted over recieving a pat from Chase. Chase then proceeded to strip off the saddle and pad. Imperium shook happily, as Chase placed it on the rails, and then pulled the bridle and bit gently out of hte horses mouth. He set that on a post also. "Mind if i raise some?" he asked talking bout the jumps. |

Chris smiled and shook her head "no go ahead she called" Boy whickered to Imperium letting him know that he was boss and he wasn't looking for a fight. He backed up. Chris raised an eyebrow. "U silly horse!" she clucked him into a canter doing serpentines and flying lead changes while Chase raised the poles.

Imperium, bobbed his head as if to say 'yep that's right'. He then relaxed, his posture showing he was no longer a threat. Chase walked over to the poles, picking them up and raised them about to 6 ft, not far from the top of his head. Imperium stared at the poles, ears perking forward and body quivering with excitement. Chase left some poles lower incase Gabby couldn't jump taht high. He walked over to Imperium, and his fingers intertwined with the ivory mane. With a leap and a pull, he mounted Imperium who was completely untacked. Chase patted his horse, adn then began, walking, then cantering. He finally turned to the 6ft oxer. He trusted his horse, and Imperium trusted him. Finding his seat, Chase guided Imperium towards the jumps, held onto mane and stuck to Imperium like glue, as the Olympic jumper soared over the jumps. Chase landed easily, and continued riding and jumping the higher oxers.

Chris halted Boy at the side of the arena. She watched amazed. She couldn't take her eyes from horse and rider. Boy sat there comfortably swishing his tail every now and then. His ebony black coat glistened with starting sweat. He looked away as if saying "show-off" Chris smiled down at her horse "u're just jealous u can't do that!" she whispered to him. Boys ears flattened to his head. She patted him before watching Chase and Imperium again.

Morgan walked over to the side of the arena, standing by Chris and Boy unnoticeable. She watched her older brother and his horse. She felt that familiar jealous feeling but pushed it away. "i'll beat him someday" she finally said watching as Chase took Imperium over more oxers.

Boy jumped about 10 ft as Chris hurddled forward. "HOW DID U GET HERE?!?!" she whispered loud enough for only Morgan to hear. She didn't want to spook Imperium. Boy turned at whickered at Morgan. "u'll beat him at what??" she asked.
