Horse Academy

chapter 3 ~ A performance to remember me by

We trot in and I see loads of people in the stand, bloody hell I didn't know their was this many people in my year!!

 Getting moonlight into a canter I plot out my course in my head  and slightly pull on the inside reign. I direct moonlight towards the first jump. The jump is about 1 meter high so not that big of a challenge. We've a lot higher in the past. 3...2...1 jump I fold up and we soar over the jump. Landing perfectly she flicks her tail and we are on to the second jump. I size it up to being about 1.45m  3...2...1 jump we fly over it and continue onto the next... then the next ...then the next so on and so forth until there was nothing left to jump. 

I hear a round of applause and I give moonlight the aids to bow and I salute towards the audience. I nod at my headmistress as we trot patiently out of the arena and then take a leisurely stroll back to the stable yard. Sliding off moonlights back I take her saddle of and place it neatly on the floor I take her bridle off and place it on a hook before swiftly putting her black expensive halter on and using her black luxury lead rope to tie her to the wall.

 I grab out her tack box from the wall and grab the curry comb and make circular movements to loosen weak hairs. I then take out my dandy brush and sweep all of the loose and dirt away and off from the body and legs. I then use the body brush to take away the dust and hairs that are left over. I clean the horse's face with a cloth and use a comb to brush through moonlights mane and tail. Finally I pick out her feet and place her personalised black rug on her as well as her black luxurious boots. I lead her out into the field. 

I then put her tack away before repeating all the steps with the others. I muck out all of the stables until they are perfect and fill up their hay nets for tomorrow as well as putting their feed buckets outside for the stable hand to fill up tomorrow morning.  I clean all the tack till it shines and place it all away neatly before going back to my apartment, finally! I slip my pj's on before settling down on the sofa (with SnowQueen and Blake ) after watching tv I notice my guitar in the corner and go over. I strum aimlessly before starting to play amnesia.

"Amnesia"

I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted

I thought about our last kiss, how it felt the way you tasted

And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine

Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?

When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?

Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?

If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all

The pictures that you sent me they're still living in my phone

I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone

And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around

It hurts to know you're happy, yeah, it hurts that you've moved on

It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long

It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?

If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

If today I woke up with you right beside me

Like all of this was just some twisted dream

I'd hold you closer than I ever did before

And you'd never slip away

And you'd never hear me say

I remember the day you told me you were leaving

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all

No, I'm really not fine at all

Tell me this is just a dream

'Cause I'm really not fine at all
