the next day bethan wakes bright and early (around 4:00am)to excersise some of the horses. she gets dressed, has breakfast and while walking to the stables thinks of which horses to ride.She finally decided to ride Fundamental Feelings (Felix), Tinkerbell, Totally Naked (Ned) and Eye of The Tiger (Tiger). she strode towards the feed shed and started making up feeds. she changed Tiger's and Prince's, Tiger's to some higher performance feed and Prince's to Gumnuts(tm) for older ponies. as she scooped out the Gumnuts she sighed sadly. Prince, her little baby Princie was getting old. she fed all the horses and when all the rugs were adjusted she went out to find Felix.
Just as she had suspected, he was standing in the feild, shaking, legs braced, with his rug upside-down around his belly. she sighed. "Come on you silly chook!" she called over to him, but he just snorted anxiously, waiting for her to come over. she went to him and adjusted the rug. she led him to his box and took the neck extension off whilst brushing his neck, and carried on doing so in quarters. his short coat was easy to groom because of the rugs and the frequent riding. she slipped out and grabbed the tack. she tacked him up quickly and led him out to the sand arena. he snorted at the sand and striked out at it, pinning his ears back. she sighed. he did this everyday. "come on!" she called, letting go of the reins and walking into the middle, Felix trotting after her. she got on to the towering gelding and quickly adjusted the stirrups. once she had warmed up, walking and trotting serpentines and figure-eights, she asked for flexion, collection, extension, side-pass, leg-yeild, flying changes etc. After about an hour he was responsive and supple so she started jumping. a small, 75cm course at first, no hard bends or anything to start off with. he flew over thhem with ease. she decided to cool him down now as he was getting very worked up, jogging on the spot. she firmly got him to stop it and cooled down.
once he was fed and in his stall she found Tinkerbells small hacking saddle and a delicate snaffle bridle and sliid into the small light palominos stall. she brushed her in quarters so she wouldnt get cold in the early morning frost and gently tacked up.she took her to the jumping arena for a change and when Tinkerbelll saw the jumps she started to jog around. bethan warmed her up until she was being sensible and began to jump. after 45 minutes she stopped, cooled down, put the lightweight rugs on and fetched Ned's tack.
Ned (Totally Naked) was a cremello stallion, out of 2 Paint parents, beautiful blue eyes and pink skin. she got his saddle, a large jumping one, and his bridle, a well-oiled leather snaffle bridle, and went to his stall. he was quite small, only about 15hh, but the way he held his head made him look much higher. she had to stand on a crate to reach his mane to brush it, as he wouldnt put his neck down for too long. she groomed, tacked up and decided to go for a cross-country trail. she warmed up in the arena, serpentines, some lateral work and a few small jumps, before she hit the trails. she chose a long trail with lots of jumps and lots of fast parts, whick Ned excelled in. she started off at a slow canter, Neds head high as soon as he saw a jump. he popped over it effortlessly. and so it continued, a gallop here and there, and many effortless jumps. when she was done she walked him along a smaller trial and took him back. the sun was rising but it was still chilly, so she put a few lightweight rugs on and let him into the paddock.she watched him gallop around the paddock for a few minutes and fetched Tigers tack.
The outrageous skewbald paint stallion stuck his neck over the fence and whinnies, sending a chorus of replies around the yard. she laughed and ruffled his mane, clipping a leadrope onto his halter and leading him to an empty stall. she brushed his strange, oddly patterned coat, tracing the outside of the patches with her fingers, and tacked him up in a snaffle bridle with a brightly colored browband with "TIGER" stitched into it, and a jumping saddle with a saddle cloth that matched his browband. she took him to the sand arena and got on (With the help of a mounting block) to the 17.2hh stallion. she warmed up, just trotting and walking circles, and began to jump. every round she raised the bars, but he just soared over them. 1.10m, 1.15m, 1.20m, 1.30m, 1.50m, he just flew over them like they were trotting poles. she stopped after an hour and rubbed him down, then she let him into the paddock.
she fed all of the horses that had been ridden and went inside for breakfast. after a few hours it was almost time to go. she got dressed into fish-net stockings and a pair of short shorts with a flurescent orange top with "EYE OF THE TIGER" printed across thhe top, a tiger with its mouth open in mid-roar, and along the bottom was "SURVIVOR". she hopped into the car and went to pick Jamie up.
