Blair cantered down my driveway. I was tacking up Ace but I couldn't find his bridle.
"Hey Cas. Are you ready?" Said Blair.
"Almost. I just can't find his bridle" I sighed.
"The black and white one?" Blair asked.
"No the blue one. I swear I saw it around here before"
"Um, Cassi. It is hanging up behind you" Blair looked at me. "Are you ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine" I smiled.
"Ok well, where do you want to ride today? We could go into the arena and muck around with the jumps or something"
"Blair, I was thinking about a trail ride down near the river. Do you want to do that?"
"Oh! Sounds exciting! Lets go!"
Blair was so excited. I guess it was because we used to go on trail rides all the time as kids.

"So, do you want to head back now?" Blair asked.
"Yeah, I have to train the kids for the show jumping meet up. I signed up again this year to be their coach. They were really good last year."
"Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Hey, I was actually going to ask you something. Are you going to the Countdown Jumping Competition this weekend?"
"Blair, why would I do that? You know I don't like doing competitions. I mean, I don't like being judged on what you can and can't do AND they are for little kids. We are in year 9 now."
"No Cassi. Didn't you hear? This year they are having a children session and then an older/more educated rider session. Oh and the prize is a new jumping set!" Blair squealed.
"Why don't you do it?" I looked at Blair.
"Because I would never win AND I don't have a horse that will jump that tall. You need to do it."
"I don't know. I will talk to my parents. But change of subject... race you back to my house!"

"Ok well, I will see you later Cassi"
Blair rode off, leaving me at the end of my driveway. There was something hanging out the top of the mailbox. I grabbed it.
Countdown Jumping Competition
THIS WEEKEND!
ALL INVITED!
I shoved it in the pocket of my jumper and galloped up the driveway.
