Shannon watched Lucielle. Her heart racing. She looked at the phone in the side of the barn. She then looked at Rock on. She looked at her friends. One second. She got up and sprinted to the phone. She called the headmasters office. She said she would be here in a minuet. Then as she was running back she noticed That Rocked was getting more scared by the minuet. She walked over to the mare who was running. Talking in a quiet whisper she kept walking towards her.
Shhhhhh. Its okay hunny. Everythings fine. Your mommy is fine. Calm down girl. Settle. You got to be patient. Dont worry. She kept reapeating these things. Rocket looked at her and stopped for a couple seconds. Still shaking and ears pointed towards her. Shannon kept walking verrry slow. She was about 6 feet away from Rocket. Finally she reached her. Slowly she grabbed the reins and petted her neck slowly. Clucking she walked her over to Luicelle. Stopping a couple feet away.
See. Mommys fine.....Shes just hurting. Rocket pulled on the reins to get closer. But Shannon held on tight and tried to keep her calm.

Graceful Vibe's
Show 'em what you got.The thoroughbred whinnied. Stretching her neck down to sniff cautiously at the soaked ground. Amy struggled to pull the black mare up "Come on Grace!" she pulled harder, the rain was beating heavily against her purple jumper and the cold was biting harshly at her neck. The black thoroughbred raised her large head and trotted forwards, eyeing the indoor arena. Amy was about to ride her anutys horse that had been sentdown just yesterday. Her aunty wanted Amy to ride her while she was away, Graceful Vibe's was an advanced performance horse, exceling in dressage. Amy had wanted to ride her horse Captive. But she knew she needed to do a favour for her Aunt. Fiddling with the lock on the the two large doors she pulled them open and to her suprise, it was busy.
Closing the doors behind her she shivered and tiny lumps arose on her skin, sucking in the warmth of the heated arena. "Hey there!" she cooed to the other three girls, one being Kaede who she already knew. She checked the black mares tack and Grace bent her head around to gaze at her, Amy felt as though it was the jagged white blaze that was greeting her, not her spirited eyes. Pulling herself onto the mares back she tightened her reins and clucked her on. Imediantly the thoroughbreds legs where stretched before her, her nose was dropped and a perfect arch was formed. Her neck craned into a half circle and her movement was so powerful and smooth that Amy felt as though she could melt over her. The black horse braught her quarters beneath her and at Amys ask mved into a bouncy trot. Sitting deep into the saddle, and pushing her heels down Amy half halted and the mare leaned back slightly and barught her legs up so that they had not a bend in them, yes, it was a fancy move but it wasn't hard when the horse you are on dose it with pride. Slowing the mare in the center of the ring and away from the jumps Amy allowed her legs to clench at Grace's side. The mare jogged on the spot in a perfect piaff and then cantered off. An amazing sight, indeed. |

Cali was trotting Sammers as they entered the ring. As soon as she saw what was going on, she instantly jumped off, and ran over to the girl lying there on the ground. She kneeled down by her. "Are you okay?" She said in a hushed tone. The day for her had already been hectic and all she wanted to do is ride but she felt it very necessary to help out with the situation. She waited for a reply from the girl on the ground. She listened to see if she had said anything back. "Do you need any help with the horses as mine is over there eating dirt?" Cali said to the girl with 2 horses in her hands, she was new here and didn't know anyone's names. Cali stood up, as if to motion the girl on the ground to get up too.

Sussy, my dear. I didn't mean it that way, I was just wondering if you could change it so that we could include you.

Kaede stood up and whirled round as the doors to the arena screeched open and she recognised the shape of their headmistress, wrapped up in an anorak and with an umbrella dancing over her head. Drips showered off the corners as she threw it to the floor and hurried over to them.
Kaede struggled to grasp the right words to explain what had happened. "She was jumping ... a wrong stride ... she came off. She can move her fingers, and some of her toes, but she says her arm hurts pretty bad. Do you want me to call an ambulance?" She shifted her weight from side to side on the spot, anxious to make sure that Lucille would be ok. TTA was fairly remote - that was one of the things that was so nice about it, its own little world, just them and the horses - which meant that the ambulance could take a long time to reach them. She knew it was vital that they called them as soon as possible to prevent Lucille from lying in pain for any longer than she had to.
"Yes, Kaede, my dear, please do; thank you."
Kaede smiled in the place of a 'no problem', her mouth curving but her eyes still filled with worry. She took one last look down at Lucille's pale face and ran for the phone.

Lucille watched as Shannon raced to the phone to call the Headmistress. Then her eyes turned with worry to Rocket, wild-eyed, and foamy legged, and stifled another cry of pain. Muscle-spasms were running up and down her arm. Lucy closed her eyes, and opened them again to see another horse, and an un-recognizable girl running over to her. She shook her head slowly. All she wanted to do was sleep, for a very long time. Lucille watched as the head-mistress ran over, and Kaede ran away. "Honestly, I'm fine. I just want to go to sleep." The young girl was going into shock. Things started to get fuzzy, and the voices sounded so far away. Right now, the cold sand was welcoming her dreams, as if singing her a lullaby.
Almost to the oxer, so close. The old ladies sat on the edge of their seats, excited to see the young woman jump such a tremendous height. Sunday hats sat cautiously atop their heads, liable to fly off any second, if a wind quickly blew through. Only three strides to go, and one did. Bright pink and yellow and orange was a blur as the big devil swerved to the side, and Lucille's mom was flying quickly in the air. Her neck had hit the side of the standard with tremendous force, and she was knocked out from the pain. Screams and gasps flew up from the stands. "Somebody call an ambulence!"...
Rocket reared up as the stranger grasped her reins. She didn't understand what was happening. She saw her on the ground, her face screwed up in pain, grasping her arm. The wind against the doors to the outside rattling, didn't help out all. The rain mercilessly beat against the roof, and the mare tore Shannon's grip, and ran through the open doors. Rock On's stirrups were noisly banging against the stall doors, making her run even faster. What was that terrible noise behind her? She rounded the corner, skidded to a stop, turned the way she had come, and started to tear around again. The foam on her back legs had travled to her chest, her heart beating wildly.

Shannon watched as the headmaster came in. What was going on. Everything changed in a simple second. Shannon gasped in pain as the reins brushed against her palm. She was gripping on soo tight that whne the mare went it broke skin. Looking at her bleeding hand she noticed that things where more important than her. She ran to Bubby. He was standing starting to get nervous in all the comotion. sticking her boot in the stirrups she kicked him into a canter. ILL BE BACK! She screamed.
Rocket flew out heading for deer creek. Shannon hated that because it was twisty and rocky. But anything to make sure she wasnt hurt. Her hand was still bleeding and aching. Bubby went as fast as he could trying to keep up with the thoroughbred. Shannon was soo frusterated. She knew she shouldve rode western. She would have had her rope. She sighed. Kicking him she tried to make him go faster. Bubby went up another speed. They where slowly catching up. Shannon prayed that nothing would happen...but would god really hear her?

Kaede's mouth dropped open in horror as she set the phone back on its hook and turned around to almost be taken out by Rocket, flying straight for the door, stirrups flapping wildly at her sides. "No..." she breathed, eyes wide as she turned to look at everyone else, all with the same shocked expressions, at a loss as to what to do. Her mouth wouldn't obey her brain as she watched Shannon jump onto Bubby and gallop away after the loose Thoroughbred mare. Be careful. Please, be careful.
Slowly she walked back over to Lucille and the headmistress. "The ambulance is on its way ... half an hour or so. Anything I can do...? Are you ok here? Should I put Scallywag away?" Her words were jumbled in her head, but sense was gradually returning. A sudden wave of fatigue washed over her. It had been a long day.

Lucille started to shake, her lips turning blue. She curled up in a little ball, and started to mumble gibberish. Nothing really made sense anymore, and her lids were becoming heavier and heavier... Minutes later, a siren was heard outside. The paramedics came running into the arena, and looked from Lucille, to the headmistress, to Kaede. "She's going into shock. What exactly happened?" They ran in with a stretcher, and rolled Lucille onto it. She opened sleepy eyes and looked to Kaede. "Why can't I just go to sleep?" They brought her into the ambulence and poked some IV's into her arm. She asked once more for a pillow, but the only thing they did was give her some more oxegyn, and poke medicene into her.
"The ambulence rushed out to the ring. Lucille's mother had finally woken up, but found that she couldn't move anything. The paramedics kept asking her questions, taking off her shoes, and scraping their thumb along her foot. She wanted to kick out at the hand, but couldn't. "I can't move anything." More people who heard her gasped, and her husband all but passed out. They picked her limp body up, and set it gently down on the stretcher. All she could do was call her husband over. "What happened?" He was about to answer, when her heartbeat started to get faster and faster...
Rocket galloped on out the door, to the only place she knew, Deer Creek. She jumped over the bouldars and logs, but tripped over the smaller stones, and her own feet. She heard thundering hoofbeats beside her own, but she just kept running. A terrifying site to see, it was: A wild-eyed horse, no rider, cuts and scratches on her legs, with a little Appaloosa horse behind it, and a girl with an anxiety-stricken face, pushing him on and on. This was what Rock On was bred to do- run, and she did. The mare kept running and running, until she stopped at the creek to drink.

Shannon pulled on the reins as she saw the mare starting to slow down. She pulled up Bubby and let him get a quick drink. Then she decided to do something. Quickly she went in the woods. She went in the soft placed so she wouldnt be heard. Then she made Bubby jump out at a gallop and She grabbed the mares reins and she got them steady. She quickly tried to find a way to get it attached. Anyway. Her mind racing with thoughts. What was going to happen. Bubby snorted. He pulled back and tried to help Shannon. For once he was going to be helpful.

Kaede had just shoved Scallywag in his stall, still fully tacked when she heard the ambulance siren screaming up the driveway. She ran to the indoor arena, where already Lucille was being shifted onto a stretcher and lifted away. "Why can't I just go to sleep?" she asked Kaede, her expression tired, confused and pained. Kaede replied softly, "Don't worry. Soon. They're here to take you to hospital, you're going to be all right. You can sleep in the ambulance."
Falling back against the wall, she breathed out slowly and watched as the ambulance crunched down the gravel, lights flashing incessantly. She hesitated there for a moment. It seemed wrong to continue her training session now. She wasn't quite sure what to do with herself, and closed her eyes briefly. Suddenly she remembered Shannon, with Bubby and Rocket, and her eyelids snapped open. She should go to help.
Collecting Scallywag from his stall, she bounced on the ball of her foot, one, two, three, swung herself into the saddle and gave him a sharp nudge with their heels. Following her instincts, she headed through the forest to Deer Creek at as fast a canter as she dared.

 Lucille and Rocket
Lucille's mother was slowly fading away, the voices sounded so far away. Her husband was shaking her. "No, you can't leave me like this." Straight line. She was looking at him from above. She saw him laying on her stomach, sobbing. Her mother felt a great weight lift off her shouldars, and she suddenly felt younger, like she did 20 years ago. She looked back down to her limp body, her husband, and a doctor. The doctor was patting his back, trying to comfort him, but he was still clutching to her body. How peaceful her face seemed, like she was only alseep, and would wake in a few hours. She whispered to him, as if he could hear her. "Took good care of our baby..."
Rocket jumped with fear as Shannon grabbed her. She crab-stepped, and backed up, trying to get the grip away from this stranger and the odd little horse. Then she heard another horse coming, this was just too much for her. Rock On kept backing up until her reins snapped, and she took off again. If Shannon was still holding on, she was being dragged back to the barn, by an out of control horse. The mare tore through the under-brush, the trees growing more dense, clawing at her. Rocket finally saw the stable, and entered her next speed, but saw the doors closed. She galloped up the hill, but skid to a halt, and kicked at them continuously.

Shannon flew off Bubby as the thoroughbred tour out at a gallop. Shannon was so scared by the fall that she didnt let go. She screamed and let go of the reins. She layed there in pain. Bubby trotted over to her. Shannon stood up. She had small and big scratches all over her body that where bleeding. Not badly....but they were. She sighed. Looking at the trail of dust that started to settle down. Looking at Bubby she knew she had to go and try to get her. Her clothes where ruined.....with teres and blood stains. But she knew she had to go....
