Emma took the reins and felt her foot into the stirrup, and pulled up into the saddle. Her leg swung open the dapply grey's back, and she settled into the saddle. Almost immediately as she had sat down, the dapple grey sped of at a fast trot around the arena. She laughed, typical Indie, the lesson horse was crazy, but Emma loved her anyway. She brought herself down, and instead of pulling back the reins, she kicked the mare on into a faster trot, until she got tired, and slowed down. Walking the mare around, Emma let her on a loose rein.
The dapple grey let her neck stretch and then smoothly took a few transitions into trot and back again to walk a couple of times. She trotted him on for a few strides, before taking Indie over a couple of trotting poles, before pushing Indie into a canter and taking her over the poles. Keeping her heels down and her weight in the saddle, Emma prevented the mare from jumping the poles, and let her flow over them a couple of times. She then brought her to a halt, then straight into a canter, popping her over a few jumps in the corner from a course that someone had already set up.

Alice smiled as she walked out of the barn with the riding school horse Tiny Story. She loved him with his kind heart. I went over to the mounting block and climbed up. I slipped my foot into the stirrup and smiled. I then swung my leg over and sat gently down on Tiny's back smiling. I patted him happily. I then looked up and over to the ring where i had set the jumping course up. I smiled as I saw the good job I had done then my smile frowned. Emma was in there! Alice made sure she didn't look over there so she didn't catch Emma's eye. I just glanced. I really wanted to jump Tiny Story but I couldn't now. I had to go on a hack or! THE CROSS COUNTRY COURSE i thought to myself. I walked Tiny forward then realized I had to pass the ring where Emma was to go on the course! I looked around for a hidden place to pass. I saw a line of trees and i didn't think Emma would see me. I walked over there trying to be quiet. I reached the trees hoping Emma wouldn't notice me. I walked along the tree line slowly and a tree branch flung at me. "OWWWWW!" I shouted, oh no i thought. Emma would have heard me. I started to make a run for it. I squeezed Tiny into a evenly paced Trot then sat into a canter and rose into point to point position. I cantered Tiny through the trees and shoot out the other side. There was a ditch just round the corner, I had just remembered. Tiny approached the ditch and I gave as much confidence as I could. Tiny stopped and i went flying forward onto his neck. "AHHHHHHHHHHH" I screeched. Tiny lept over the ditch easily but I was only just hanging on. Tiny slowly came down to a walk and then stopped and I slipped and fell with a thump to the ground. "oowww" I said quietly. I was in full vision of Emma now, I knew I was busted. I sighed and just layed there and held Tiny's reigns sort of hoping Emma wouldn't notice me, but i knew she would but i just had hope inside me. I knew it wasn't true though. I sighed deeply and prepared myself.

Emma rode Indie forward onto the second jump, a nice low brush fence, to get her confidence up with Indie again. The mare had taken a knock in last years winter, and this was the first proper work they'd done together for months. Emma sat down into the canter and felt its beats, before noticing a slight drop in Indie's left fore leg as it hit the ground. Worried it might be laminitis, the brunette teen dismounted and examined the grey's foot. Nope, nothing, Emma though to herself. She would see if it happened again while she was riding. This time, as she mounted and rode forward at a walk and trot, she tried to see if their was any difference or drop with the left foreleg in another gait. There wasn't. Emma guessed that it must be Indie being slightly lazy, as this foot was always the on Indie took off from, and she was probably indicating she didn't want to jump. Just as Emma was about to jump Indie a couple of times, she heard a shout.
--
Emma looked over to where the sound was coming, and saw someone riding through a line of trees quickly, at a trot, which now sped into a canter. Emma thought that it was a nice transition, but that the person riding was an idiot, considering there was a huge ditch at the end of that line of trees. The brunette watched as the horse and rider came closer to the ditch. Emma could know see the horse's legs, which certified that the horse that was being ridden, was the chestnut, Tiny Story. Emma laughed, Tiny would never jump the ditch without stopping. As Tiny stopped at the ditch, Emma saw someone fly over his neck, and saw the blonde girls, of her step sister, Alice's hair. Emma laughed, Alice had obviously been the one that had set up the course, and now she didn't want Emma to see her.
--
Hearing another screech, Emma dismounted and let go of Indie's reins. She walked to the edge of the arena, still watching the dapple grey, then exited, shutting the gate firmly behind her. The teen made her way towards the line of trees, and to the end where the ditch was. She saw Alice lying down, like she didn't want Emma to notice her. Emma sighed, she couldn't leave her there. Emma scanned around to see if her younger step brother who hated her was there, glad he wasn't, she over towards Alice. Emma gently took the reins out of Alice's hands, and flipped them over Tiny's neck. Emma took Alice's hand and pulled her up. "What were you doing! You silly billy. You n=know not to jump that ditch on Tiny as he's gonna stop. Alice, you could've hurt yourself! Everything I've taught you seems to have gone out the window!" Emma sighed, and laughed a little. "Good transition though."Emma smiled, and helped Alice up.

Alice was feeling really stupid now but just stayed laying there and cocked her head slightly to see if Emma had noticed her. At first no, but now,yes. I sighed deeply preparing myself for Emma. I hoped she was nice to me, If she wasn't I was just going to ride off hoping that she wouldn't follow me. As Emma pulled me up I looked around hoping Harry wasn't here. "I.... I...." I gulped and took a breath. "I was going down to the cross country course" I explained not looking at Emma still. "I remember everything you taught me, I love riding and you know that. Tiny's the best horse ever and you know that to. Thank you, i'm glad you thought it was a good transition!" I explained still not completely looking at Emma. I knew I was being a bit rude so I stopped talking quickly. I hoped Harry wasn't around if he was I was so dead, Harry would completely hate me. I took hold of Tiny's reigns again half looked at Emma. "Thanks" I said quietly. I patted Tiny happily. I said nothing now. It was quite awkward with the silence. I was waiting for Emma to say something, but I didn't really know what was coming next.

Emma watched Alice's worried face, before assuring her. Harry's not here. I already checked. She laughed, it was funny how the two of them couldn't be seen together when Harry was around, and when they were together, they both always looked around checking for him. Emma looked at her. Yeah, I take it it was you who set up the jumps in the arena, then? Emma asked, looking at her younger step sister.
I'm glad you remembered, because, from your drama ride just then, I couldn't see any of it put to action. You didn't even keep your heels down the whole way. She sighed. She didn't want to be mean, but she also wanted Alice to become a great rider, and she could only do that if she practised. Emma mumbled and looked at the ground. Sorry. I just want you to become a good rider. For your own good. Emma smiled, and jerked her head towards the arena. She took the reins with Alice, and led Tiny over to the arena.

Alice looked at Emma. "Right, that's good" I replied happy that he wasn't. I smiled to Emma and she spoke to me. "Yeah it was me who set the jumping course up" I explained happy that Emma used it, although i did want to use it I didn't mind. I could jump any other time.
As Emma commented I went a big red. "Sorry. I guess I kinda panicked, sorry. I won't do it again" I explained to Emma hoping she'd forgive me. I smiled to Emma as she commented again. "I'm glad you care. Thanks, without you nagging me I pobably wouldn't improve. I don't mind, I understand" I explained to Emma smiling to her now.
I gathered up Tiny's reigns and smiled to Emma. "Are you going back in the ring?" I asked Emma smiling sweetly to her happily.

Emma grinned then smiled, before nodding at her half sisters comment about happy that Harry was not there. She smiled. Sorry! I was bored, so I cam in with Indie. The poor horse is just ridden round an arena every day, she should be used as an advanced horse, not a beginner! Emma smiled again before glancing down at her feet, she always made those sort of remarks, and they ended up being not smart, and really stupid.
--
Emma laughed, before speaking. There were a lot more faults than just your heels. Let me see? She smiled and nudged Alice in a sarcastic friendly way. She listed them, counting on her fingers. Your hands were uneven, you were slumped in your seat and were leaning forward. Your hands were bumping up and down, and ... She paused, then blushed, she hated making faults out of Alice's riding. Apart from that, it was good. She smiled, before glancing at the arena, and nodding. Yep, I want to jump. You coming? She smiled, and then jerked her head towards Alice and Tiny. But I think I need to give you a quick training session first! She smiled and waited for the response.

I looked to Emma. I understood what she meant about Indie being a beginner horse. I smiled back to Emma happily, It was nice not having Harry around being a pain saying mean things about Emma to me or telling me to stay away or commenting on something to do with Emma. It was nice to just be on my own with her and with the horses aswell. I listened to Emma's comment and nodded. It's ok, It was only a jumping course. I didn't mind you going in. I so agree It is a bit of a shame that Indie's used as a beginner horse but she just great with the beginners and is capable with all kinds of riders. At least she get some fun from you riding quite often, even my mum and me ride all the horses at times. We ride all of them once in a week aswell as the lessons so the beginners get some fun and the advanced get some rest and a little bit of fun and get to let of some steam, just incase there worked to hard and never have the time when they can basically do what they want and be totally relaxed. I explained to Emma happily then an idea came to my brain but then I though of something about Indie and a girl I knew rode her who had just started some jumping and had been hacking for a while, I decided to tell Emma. Emma, I've got an idea. It always takes at least 3 days at the most to ride the riding school horses with a good work out or some good fun, so..... You should so help us, It would be fun with another person especially then it would be quicker not that i minded but It just means that I wouldn't get as tired I explained once again, The words couldn't stop pilling out of my mouth, I was so used to having to ignore Emma it was just now really nice to just talk to her and not have the pressure or worry of Harry. I then I though about what I had remembered about Indie and went in my word mania talk once again. I forget to tell you. Something I remembered, My mum told me that Indie is being ridden by a young girl who's just started jumping and has been doing quite a bit of hacking so at least she's not ploding around the school the whole time, she says that she wish she could let the little girl ride Indie forever, and that they just go together so easily and flow really nicely I explained then I calmed down and took a deep breath and grinned at Emma feeling a bit shy now.
I looked to Emma and listened carefully to what she was saying. When Emma said that I had a lot more faults I felt kind of bad and a bit upset by how she was saying it to me but I knew she was right and had to tell me otherwise i'd never improve, I just knew I could ride so much better. Yeah.... sorry about that I explained to Emma feeling bad, silly and shy now. I looked down away from Emma trying to avoid her eyes. I listened to Emma go on about my mistakes and then when she offered me to jumping I grinned and nodded. I'd love to come jumping. Definitely I agreed immediately. Then Emma mentioned the training session and I sighed. Ok then I knew I had to do It and I needed it so I was just going to do it and get it over and done with waiting for the fun ahead.

Emma watched Alice, and smiled. Her sister had come on a lot since Emma had taught her, and that was her being modest. Alice's mum didn't have time to teach her daughter. So Emma had taken on the job, and had been doing so for the past few years. You guys must get so tired jumping and working all of them, and yeah, I understand what you feel like when you ride them everday. Emma felt slightly guilty, but after all, her Dad had never bought her a horse for her to ride. She listened to Alice earnestly. I'd love to help! it would help you and Chris out no end! It would mean you wouldn't have to keep riding them all, which means you'd get more of a break to do social things. She smiled, grinning at Alice, who was having a talking outburst.
--
When Alice spoke next, Emma's smile faded from her face. She felt a slight tear coming to her eye but she pushes it away and swallowed the lump in her throat as she listened to Alice, hoping things would get better as her speech carried on. They didn't, they got worse. Emma wondered if Alice had taken into consideration anything they had just talked about, angry, she snapped out. Why doesn't she give him to that stupid girl then! There's no point me helping out anyway, it would be a waste of my time! So sell Indie to that girl, I'm sure they'll have a lot of fun together. She paused, then said. You can forget about the jumping and the training session. She finished, turning and taking Indie with her, heading for the barn.

I listened to Emma and smiled. We ride them twice a week all of them, every single horse here, but only the riding school ones. Oh, and of course our own aswell. But yep we get absolutely exhausted I explained to Emma. I really wanted Emma to help, It would be great fun and a lot of help just as long as Harry didn't find out and it would be fine. I smiled and grinned the biggest grin ever when Emma said yes. Thanks Emma, that's really great of you, so much help! I explained then I thought of Harry and was about to talk. But..... what if...... But then I tried to ignore the subject hoping just hoping Emma didn't properly hear so I could just say nothing.
Alice watched Emma and seemed not to notice that Emma was getting upset, I was just blabbing on so much. But then Emma blurted out. I frowned and looked shocked, When Emma stormed off. It wasn't like Emma at all. Emma wait, I was trying to make you feel happy. I was saying that Indie did get excersize instead of just plodding around the school. I just thought that would make you feel happy because you were sad that Indie just plodded around the school! I explained. I didn't mean to make Emma upset, now I was so annoyed with myself.
I sighed and gathered Tiny up and walked him down the field to the river. I was really annoyed now. All i'd done lately was say the wrong things and people had got upset. I didn't mean it at all i'd just been blabbing on and on and not realizing what i had been saying. I hadn't stopped talking and was just going on and on without realizing. Now i'd done it to one of the people who supported and helped me the most, and then one who took and spent loads of time teaching me how to ride. Now i'd blown it and Emma would hate me.

I think we should end this here? since they have both gone off?
I think we should have a new thread where a lesson has been arranged, and it's slightly awkward since their bit of an arguement?
