Maggie's showfer pulled into the riding club with her horse trailer attached to the back of the black truck. When it stopped in the loading area, Maggie hooped out of the back and went around to the trailer. Inside was her champion horse Mid Accord. Who had taken her to the Maclay's and won it the year before last. She unlatched the trailer lock and lead him out. He still had on his black and blue plaid summer sheet, black lether halter, black travel boots, and hoof protecters when Maggie brought him inside to the arena. Her groom carefully brought in her black leather tack and her black and blue saddle pad. "Thankyou, Pick me up at say 7 o'clock thanks." Maggie said and handed her groom fifty bucks. She then began removing all Mid Accord's traveling things.

Kira looked out the window, and sighed. Wow, she thought to herself. This day is really pretty. She walked over to her stereo and turned on her favorite Band, Fall Out Boy. She carfully changed into her riding outfit, and then turned the music off. She made sure she looked picture perfect, and then, grabbing her keys, walked out the door.
It was a short drive to the stable, where she saw her horse Gallery waiting for her. Hey Gally Girl! She said laughing as the bay mare snuffed the back of her neck. Wanna go for a ride at the riding club down the road? Gallery c ocked her fine head at Kira, then nodded.
Kira carfully put all of Gallery's shipping gear on, then lead her out of the stable and into the trailer. There you are girl, Kira said, patting her side as she tied Gallery to the trailer, and walked past her prized horse. Next, Kira loaded all of the tack into the tack compartment in the front of the trailer. There we are, she said, and climbed in to the truck and the two made there way to the Riding club.

Maggie groomed Mid Accord throughly intill his coat shined, and then she tacked him up and put him on the crosstes so she could go set up a jumping course at the left side of the arena. She went to her grooming box and took out the jumping course for the Maclays and went to set it up. After she was done, she unhooked Mid Accord from his crossties and lead him out to the arena. She pulled the stirrups down to her length and put her left foot in the stirrup and swung her right leg gracefully over his back. She nudged him into a walk and walked a circle or two and then went into a trott. Maggie then signaled Mid Accord into a canter and they did the first five jumps gracefully without even being close to knocking them over.

As Kira unloaded Gallery from the trailer, she took notice of another rider in the jumping arena. Yay! She said to her horse, Another rider! She quickly untacked Gallery, and brushed her out. Then, she pulled her brand new riding gear out of the trailer. She carfully placed he saddle pad on the bay's back, and then the saddle. When she went to pull the girth up, Gallery began to walk backwards. Hey now! Stop it girl! Gallery was an ex-racer, and was never properly shown how to stand still while being tacked up. Next she put Gallery's bridle on. As with everytime, the Thoroughbred tried to devower the bit. Kira rolled her eyes as the put her helmit on. She was about ready to mount when she noticed that the flies were everywhere. Sighing, she sprayed Flyspray on her horses face, and back, carful not to get it on her new Hunter Saddle. Alright, now we can go. Kira mounted the 15. 2 hand hofrse and they walked toward the arena, Gallery was trying to trot there, of course, and Kira was trying her hardest to keep the horse back. Finally they reached the arena.
Hey there! She said waving to the other person.

Maggie concentrated on the next five jumps and when she was done she heard a voice call out to her. Mid Accord sppokedat the yell and burst out into a gallop to the right side of the arena. "Hey now!" Maggie said but realized what she was doing. She said something in german that was clearly heardable to any other people in the arena. Mid Accord slowed to a trot and went back over to the left side of the arena. Since Mid Accord had been in France he hadn't been used to noises so Maggie had to work on that with him. Maggie quickly nodded to the girl and halted Mid Accord. She dissmounted and checked his legs just to make sure he didn't hurt one of them. Upon inspection he was fine and Maggie remounted him. She walked him around the arena about to times. "Hi." Maggie said trying to be polite when she passed the girl.

Kira rolled her eyes as the horse spooked at her wave. Looks like someone needs a little more training huh, Gally Girl? She asked her horse under her breath as the girl finally got her horse under control and dismounted, checking her horses legs. When the girl remounted and passed by her, Kira backed Gallery out of the way. For safty, She said, grinning wide inside her head. She did smile though when the girl walked passed her saying Hi when they passed.
Sorry about that, I didn't know your horse was so spooky Kira said loudly when they were passed. She was halfway hoping for another rampage out of the other bay horse.

Maggie rolled her eyes at the girls rudeness... "Undispicable.." Maggie mumbled to Mid Accord. "He has been in Germany for about a month and isn't as good with noises anymore." Maggie said coldly trying oh so hard to be polite. "I'm working on that with him at the stables." Maggie mumbled. Mid Accord pranced happily in a trot and behaved when the girl said what she said when Maggie passed awful loudly. "Oh and by the way I am Maggie, Maggie Mcalary. You probably have heard of me before I won the Maclays the year before last." Maggie patted Mid Accord for his good behaver when they passed the girl and she spoke loudly. Why would she want to see another rampage from Mid Accord?

Oh, I'm Kira Dawne, and this is Gallery. You've probably heard of my father, Richard Dawne? He's a racehorse trainer, last year his horse won the triple crown.
Kira smiled, batting her eye lashes. She was trying to look inocent and sweet. This is my first year doing the MaClay.

Kira watched the pair jump, and thought they were pretty good. She got bored, so she walked Gallery into the arena and did some warm up laps around the outside.

OOC: Me and my friend dont't like your characters attitude! LOL
BIC: Maggie sighed and smiled as the girl left the arena. She nudged Mid Accord into a canter and did some dressage on the right side of the arena. But she knew the girl would come back in so she had to make the silence last.

I stoped my trailer and went to the back. I was wearing sweats and under them were my showing cloths. I grabed my grooming bag and a saddle box with my all pleasre saddle and bridle. I carried the stuff in a bag as I lead Shattered Dreams in the barn. I put the stuff down and I cliped Dreamer to the cross ties. I started to groom her after I groomed her I put her show jumping boots on her legs and I tacked her up. I walked to the trailerand put the grooming equipment away. I grabed my show jacked and walked back to Dreamer. She saw me and nickered to me. I smiled. I took my sweats off and put my boots back on. I put on my black show jacket. I lead her to the areana. I mounted her and rode into the practice areana to warm her up

Kira nuged Gallery into a canter, and they cantered around the arena. She kept her eye on the girl in the jumping arena, though. Gallery sensed Kira's negligence in concentration. He fell out of the rounded circles and made a run for the gate. He never got to fully meet the other horse anyway. Whoa! Eaz girl! Hey now! KIra slightly squezzed the reigns and Gallery stopped and turned. Letting out a snort. Sorry girl, my fault. She told the bay mount. Kira rubbed Gallery's neck and they went and did a canter around the arena again. This time Gallery listened perfectly to everything Kira told her. She collected, extended, and turned in a perfect manner. Great job girl! Kira rubbed Gallery's neck. Ok, lets go practice on jumping. Kira sat foward in the saddle and clucked once. Gallery responed perfectly and they walked into the jumping ring.

Maggie held Mid-Accord back when Kira's horse had a little "rampage" haha. Maggie thought it was quite funny for the girl to get a taste of her own medicine. Which was pretty bitter. Maggie sent Mid-Accrod into a swift canter and noticed another rider in the arena, she wirved Accord far from the other rider and did a flying change.

I asked Dreamer to trott and then canter. I cantered her to the first jump, and she cleared that jump with ease and I cantered to a combo jump. She jumped the jump and she cantered on
