Class(es) Entering: Hunter Under Saddle
Stable: Willow Way Stables
Country: USA
entry #: 138

Holly sat astride Astro as she watched a few riders in the warm up ring. The arena was full of stock horses of all colors, shapes, and sizes that and jogged and loped along the fence line. She studied the position of a girl trotting by on a big blue roan as she suddenly felt Astro’s hip drop.
    “Hey, wakey, wakey. We have work to do, too. “ The blond girl argued as she squeezed the sizes of the lazy stallion. He yawned in response and shifted his weight again. “Nope! Let’s go!” When she poked him with her spur, he woke right up and moved off.
    The pair wandered into the busy ring where riders of all ages were dodging each other is both directions. “Sorry! Sorry! Oh, sorry!” Holly apologized as she felt she was getting in the way. Astro had no plans as of yet to move at any faster pace than the two miles an hour he was currently plodding along at.
    After warming up at the walk, Holly asked him to trot out. Astro’s white and brown ears pinned back in protest. He was not going to be told what to do after being woken from his nap.
    “Hey now, Grumpy,” Holly said and answered his sass with more leg, “you always do this! Quit!”
    Astro curled his neck, his chin almost touching his chest, and took short, choppy trot strides. Holly groaned and squeezed harder. He responded with an annoyed tail swish and faster trotting.
    People were now beginning to watch the obvious battle between the grumpy Appaloosa and the young girl. Holly ignored the spectators and sighed.
     ‘Just ignore them, you know your horse better than they do..’, Holly told herself. By this time, Astro was awake. He decided he no longer wanted to trot, and proceeded to crow hop down the long side of the arena. Holly sighed again and looked more annoyed than phased what
    her horse was misbehaving.
    Before she knew it, she was on the ground with a mouthful of sand. Her mount had spun and thew a hard buck she wasn’t expecting. Gasps from the rail filled her with annoyance. Holly stood and brushed herself off, watched as Astro tore around the arena, bucking, rearing, and just having a good ol’ time.
    After a few rounds he finally slammed on the breaks right in front of his rider with a loud huff as if he was satisfied with himself.
    “Are you done?”” Holly asked as she rubbed his face. She adjusted her helmet and swung back on. “Now. Schooling. Can you handle that?” She muttered to the horse who was walking along with perked ears, obviously proud of himself. Holly shook her head and had to laugh.
