Schooling with . . .
Megan, Vicki, Summer, and Chloe
After getting up early on Thursday morning, Megan, Vicki, Summer, and Chloe all headed out the door and down to the barn. It was a cool morning, so all the girls had hoodies and sweatshirts on. Why ... do we have to do this?! Its too early!!! Summer whined between a yawan. Yea. I need my beauty sleep!! Vicki added. I don't mind!!! Chloe said, putting her arm around Megan's waist. She knew Megan meant good with her 6:00 AM schooling lessons. Thank you, Chloe. And for you two, quit your whining!!! Megan said. She wasn't riding, but she was gonna help the three girls; set jumps, critique, that sort of thing.
Once they were all in the barn, Vicki got Classy, Summer got Cam, and Chloe got Jack out of their stalls and led them to the cross ties. Good thing you'll be leasing Flash soon, Chloe. I think Jacko here is getting a bit small for you Megan said, rubbing the little chestunt pony's face. Yea. Thank God!! Chloe said. They spent the rest of the time tacking up in silence. Once all the girls had their GPAs on, they headed out to the mounting block. They tightened their girths, ran down their stirrups, and mounted. Alright guys. Lets go over to the jumper ring. Megan led the way on foot in front of the three girls. She went right to the middle of the ring, where she was most comfortable. Megas often gave lessons at Lionshare before she left for college.
Vicki worked on Classy's head, trying to get her on the bit, while Cam worked on walk/trot transitions. Chloe worked on flying changes at the canter. Vicki, try brining your hands down more, but without leaning foward. Summer, keep him collected, give a couple small squeezes to let him know its coming, then a big kick. You have those spurs on; use them!! As for you, Miss Chloe, let say you wanted to go from the right lead to the left. You want to make sure you really get that right leg behind the girth. Crop him on the shoulder if you have to. Megan was great at giving tips about horses. She looked over her shoulder and saw a car pull up. She was suprised to see who stepped out.

Jadon smiled, but it was interuppted by a yawn. He raised his coffee cup in somewhat of a salute in Megan's direction and headed over, pocketing his car keys. He was wearing a black Galvestone High Football hoodie and dark baggy jeans. "Hey Megan." He said gently before leaning up against the fence.

Megan was excited so see her boyfriend. She waved and walked over to the fence. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips as a greeting. Hey. Didn't think you'd be up so early!! she said with smile. She quick turned towards the girls at the sound of sand hitting the flower box. Jack had stopped and now Chloe was cropping him behind her leg. One, two, three hits. She quick turned him to the side, but didn't yank on his mouth. Good girl, Chloe!! Don't you let him get away with that!!! she yelled across the ring. Vicki and Summer were standing, waiting their turn to go over the fence. Chloe set Jack up and picked up a more foward canter. He jumped great the second time. Vicki followed about 5 strides behind. Classy jumped it like the jumper she was. Summer was last. It wasn't gorgeous, but at least they went over it. Sorry about that. Megan turned around, facing Jadon again. |

Vicki, Summer, and Chloe finished up doing a 3' jmper course. Very good, you guys!! Megan said. They all said thank you. Summer and Chloe cooled out in the ring while Vicki went over to the dressage ring to work on Classy's flexibility. Once everyone was cool, the three girls took their horses back to the barn and dismounted. They led them into the barn and untacked. Classy, Cam, and Jack all got baths and were braided, mane and tail, and ready for the show tomorrow. |

Chase pulled into the driveway around 7:00. He got up early in search for Vicki. She said she wanted to go riding and Chase was not one to break his word. He noticed one other car in the driveway. He streched and yawned. He hopped out of the car and shoved his keys in his pocket. He check out all of the rings and they were empty. He walked into the barn. He was wondering where to look. He finally saw a younger girl about nine years old with brown eyes and blonde hair. He walked up to her. "Ummm excuse me, do you know where i can find Vicki Breen?"

Chloe was still cleaning her tack and packing for the show the next day. The other girls had went back up to the house. Chloe was in the middle of using a toothbrush to clean Jack's hunter dee ring bit when she saw a young, hot, man walk up. Yea. She just went up to the house. I'm Chloe!! Vicki's sister. You can go up and knock on the door. I'm sure she'll answer. She always does. Summer hates answering the door. Chloe was just a little ball of energy the day before a show. |

I got it!! Vicki yelled. She ran to the door in her Juicy sweat pants and and tank. Her hair was in a sloppy high pony tail and she had no make up on. She answered the door and there was her boyfriends, Chase. Her jaw felt like it had dropped to the floor. Hey, babe. Didn't expect to see you here today!! How are you? Wanna come in? Vicki said, a bit self-conscience about they way she looked.

Morgan poked her head out from the back of the truck. He dissapeared inside of the house. She rolled out of the truck which resulted in her landing on her back. "ouch" she muttered. She got up and brushed off her jeans. She looked around. What is he hear for?? She strolled into the barn petting every horses nose. She rounded a corner to see a girl scrubbing a bit with a toothbrush. "it works better if you use the toothpaste too" Morgan chimed in. She clamped her hands over her mouth remembering she snuck in to get here. Chase diserved it. he had no right to take the truck and leave her at the motel for who knows how long?

"Hey Meg." Jadon replied and took a quick sip of his coffee, black and hot, just the way he loved it. He casually put his arm around Megan and headed towards the barn. "I would like to meet your horse...see if I have any competition in him." He said, his eyes sparkling jokingly.

Megan: Right this way!! Megan said, walking towards the barn underneath Jadon's arm. They stopped at Vinnie's stall in the stallion barn. This is Vinnie. He's a Dutch Warmblood stallion and a terrific jumper. So, has he got competition on you? Megan said with a cocky smile.
Vicki: Hey. I didn't know you were coming!!! I would've changed, but ... Vicki said, her voice trailing off. And about the ride. I'm real sorry. I already rode my horse today. I can ride a lesson horse though!! If we're going to go, we should go right now before it gets too hot. Just let me go change quick. She held up her index finger then turned and ran up the steps to her room. She changed into a screen tee, A&F jeans, and her Ariat paddock boots. She had her half chaps under her armpit as she came back down the steps. Okay. I'm ready. WE'LL BE BACK LATER!! Vicki shouted to Summer, who was upstairs in the computer room. She took Chase's hand and led him down to the lesson horse barn; just one of the three emaculet (sp?) barns that made up Lionshare Farms.
Chloe: Oh. I didn't know someone was there. Really? I never tried that before Chloe said, noticing the girl for the first time. I'm Chloe. Are you looking for Kelsey? If you are, she'll be away all day giving a clinic. She looked away from the girl and put a dab of toothpaste on the tooth brush she had been using. She started scrubbing the bit again and the girl was right; it did work better. |

"Nah." Jadon said and kissed Megan's forehead gently. He tossed his empty coffee cup into the trash and took his arm off her shoulder's. "Hey, how about we go on our first official date? At Applebee's. Tonight." He said thoughtfully and smiled down at her. "And afterward, we can hang at the club."
(Kels, as soon as you get back)

(alright thanks. I have a little bit of time now.) Megan smiled warmly. Sounds great!! she said, looking up at Jadon's perfect face. Why don't I go change and then we can leave from here. I'll be right back. You can come up to the house if you'd like. |
