Chase pulled up to the big stables. In teh back seat of the car he heard a gasp. he turned to see his 10 year old cousin's jaw open as she took in all of the sites. "This is it" he said. Chels just continued to look around in awe. Chase opened the car door "you know, your aloud to come out" he said. Chelsea nodded and hopped out of the car wearing her paddock boots, a pair of old jeans, and an old tshirt. Chase wore jeans also, paddock boots, and a tight white tshirt that showed off his muscles. Chase walked throught the barn and to the main office. Chellie followed closely behind stroking all of the horses she passed. Chase walked in and sat down waiting for someone to arrive. Chelsea sat next to him twidling hier thumbs.

Megan came driving down in a Lionshare golf cart and saw Chase and a young girl.
"Oh hey, Chase. Something I can help you with? Vicki isn't here. She's out on a trail ride with Chloe" she said.

Chase looked up and saw Vicki's older sister Megan. "hey, um yeah, this is my little cousin Chelsea, and we were wondering how much it would cost to take lessons, or if you have any ponies for lease at the moment, she doesn't have her own horse" Chase said with Chelsea smiling shyly.

Megan smiled.
"Ohh. Sorry. Yea, lessons are $45 for private 1 hour lesson, and $35 for a half hour private lesson. We don't give group lessons, sorry. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we don't have any ponies for lease right now. If you want, we can get you on a pony right now. I'm free for a little over an hour, so I could do your lesson," she turned her attention back to Chase, "but only if its alright with you."

Megan clapped her hands together and smiled. "Great. Now, let's go find you a pony. Follow me ... " she said, leading Chels and Chase into the lesson horse barn. She took them to all the ponies and let Chels pick out which one she wanted to ride best. "Okay, Chels, here are our ponies. Let's just have you pick out which one you want to ride, okay?" she said. ooc: you can go to the lesson horse section of Lionshare Farms and see all the ponies

Chelsea followed behind eagerly and looked at all of the ponies each one making her mouth drop. She stroked, a grey, a chestnut, a red roan, and then she stopped. in front of her was a buckskin, welsh pony. her eyes widened and pointed to it.

Megan smiled.
"This girl here is Prissy. I'll get her out for you and you can start to groom her, if you'd like" she said.
Megan lead the pony out of her stall and cross tied her. She watched as Chels started to brush the little mare.

Chelsea got right down to buisness grooming every point on the little mare, not fearing to go behind and pick her feet and everything. She eagerly combed out the snarls in her mane and tail.

While Chles groomed Priss, Megan went back to the tack room and grabbed: She came out carrying the pony's tack. She tacked up in 5 minutes flat, then went back to the tack room to get a helmet and a crop for Chels. She came back out carrying: Megan handed the helmet and crop to Chels as she put the bridle on Prissy. She led the pony outside then barn, tightened the girl, ran down the stirrups, and waited for Chels to come out.

Chelsea's smile grew big as she put the helmet on and held the crop. Chase tightened it for her and she smiled. She strutted outside with a huge smile on her face. Chase walked over to Megan. "Thanks" he said.

Megan smiled at Chase. "No problem" she said. She helped Chelsea onto the pony, then lead the way to the jumper ring. Once they were all situated and Chels was walking Prissy around, Megan started doing what she does best; giving orders.
"Alright, Chels, when you're ready you can trot. Make sure you have your right diagonal!!" Megan shouted across the ring. She was standing next to Chase along the rail.

Chase looked at Megan. Man she was loud. Chels gave a nod and applied slight pressure in her legs, asking the pony to trot, while clucking to her, the pony picked it up good and Chels started off on the wrong diagnol but eventually fixed it. Seh trotted around the ring, posting with the pony.

Megan saw Chase flinch as she yelled. She turned to him. "Sorry. I've got a riding teacher's pitch, I guess ... Very good, Chels!! Now, I want you to go through the diagonal and change directions, let her trot the other way a bit then we'll canter!!" Megan yelled out to Chels afer apologizing to Chase. She didn't remind Chelsea to change her diagonal along with her direction. She was hoping the young rider would pick it up herself.
Chels was a very, I mean VERY good rider for her age. Megan saw the girl as a younger version of herself.

Chase laughed at Megan. "It must be a Breen gene or something" he teased. Chelsea asked teh little mare to do what Megan told her and she did, changing her diagnol along with her direction easily and smoothly. "She's very smooth" Chelsea siad commenting the ponies trot.
