*** Secret Valley Stables ***
home to a prestigious youth team, they live in the cabins and have school there too, with lots of riding and shows.| Gemma: It is. I can tell you a story of the Regional Championship Ajax and I won. She spooked at a jump and I flew off, I broke my shoulder and dislocated my elbow, same arm, but I hopped right back on and finished the show. We got 1st place and won the National Title. |  ParelliChick & Lady of the Mist | | 2012-11-25 02:33:47 | | Athena: I frown, then smile. Must've been a pretty small competition if a horse refused, the rider fell off, and they still won. At all the competitions I had been to, a refusal equaled four faults, and usually a single fault mean you wouldn't win. And at all the competitions the team would go to, the rules stated that the horse or rider falling was disqualification, as was the rules of the association, and almost all other associations. I decide not to say that, letting Amie explain instead, and instead replied, "Really? That is so neat!"
Pressing a button on my walkie talkie, I say "Heading out," a few seconds later, Stasi, the head counselor for the beginner's camp, came back with a "Gotcha. Be back before noon. It's 9:00am now, so you have time." I nod, look back, and call out "Stay in a group!" |  Four Star Dreams & Kipper | | 2012-11-25 21:14:23 | | | Lucy: rides affter Athena |  Starwalker123 & Star | | 2012-11-25 21:19:21 | | | Kaili: Chex snorted and flared his nostrils to this new horse. "Hey there. I'm Kaili and this is Chex, otherwise known as 'Big Chex To Cash'." She patted his neck and let him walk out of the arena and towards the trail. She let go of the reins and stretched her arms as they headed into the woods. His ears flashed back and forth listening to the different forest sounds. |  FandangoStarr & Balios | | 2012-11-25 21:19:21 | | | Mia- *follows behind the others* I see you chose to behave buddy. *Frodo snorts and tosses his head* Hotshot. Turn it down a notch, ok? *He bucks and Mia leans back to stop him from falling* Hey, take it easy! Misbehaving won't get ya' anywhere. Keep this up and no treats. *looks ahead* Sorry guys. He is a bit spirited. No wonder my friend is afriad of him! *luaghs softly to herself* |  Dragon Girl & Frodo | | 2012-11-26 01:49:08 | | | Athena: I study Cloudy. "Well, since you said good jumper, I automatically think of show jumping. But he's gonna also have to have plenty of speed and endurance. Of course, if he just has speed and endurance, Endurance would be fun. If you want a lot of change, you could try switching to reining, too. Buuuut, if you still want to do dressage, you could do 3-day eventing, which is a competition, spanning three days, with a different leg of the competition on each day. It still has dressage, but also has show jumping and cross country. For show jumping, you can train with Gemma and I, but for cross country you'll have to do a lot of outside speed and endurance training. That means you'll have to gallop some segments of the trail, and it'll take a lot of work. But it'll be worth it at the competitions..." I tap my chin thoughtfully, then look around. "What do you guys think? And oh! Before I forget," I turn Ari around and canter her swiftly back to the barn. After a couple of minutes, I return, stopping by Gemma. "Here. Here's your walkie talkie, it's how we communicate as cell phones aren't allowed. The first channel is just teammates, the second is for counselors, and the third is for all of them. If ya need to call home, there's a phone in the mess hall. Most of us just clip it to our wasteline, and it very rarely falls off." As soon as it leaves my possession, I smile and say "Welcome to the team." |  Four Star Dreams & Kipper | | 2012-11-26 01:53:12 | | | Gemma: *I clip it on* Thanks. *I turn to Summer* Ajax and I could also teach you in Cross Country. We can also do that. *I pat Ajax* And Ajax is a very good teacher. |  ParelliChick & Lady of the Mist | | 2012-11-26 19:48:41 | | (For lessons, so that we stay together as a club, you can W-mail me and we will move on like that ^^)
Athena: Clucking, I ask Ari to trot. She snorts and throws her head up, unwilling to go down an unknown trail. After a few crow-hops, I finally pull her in a circle. Clapping my hands together (Making a dull noise under the gloves) I say "Okay! Who wants to be leader?" |  Four Star Dreams & Kipper | | 2012-11-26 21:53:11 | | | Mia- *smiles*I need to get him some lavender pills. I think I might have heard somewhere that it calms them down. *Frodo angrily snorts and tosses his mane proudly* Well, now that I think about it, there might be no hope for Mr.Hotshot here. *stamps his hoof and I sigh* Your handsome, yet your a complete brat. *looks to Athena* Um, me and Frodo will stay in behind. Just so no, um, accidents happen. |  Dragon Girl & Frodo | | 2012-11-27 02:24:52 | | | Lucy: Moves her mare into a Trot me *I Trail 24/7 to train for Endarance i need a partener to ride with otho* |  Starwalker123 & Star | | 2012-11-27 02:24:52 | |
