I wondered around the stables, i didn't have anything to do and i hadn't seen anyone around that i even recognized. I really wanted to see Issy as she is my best friend and i hadn't seen her in ages! I walked around the corner of the main barn and saw a girl trotting over towards what looked like the cross country course, I stood and watched for a minute. I didn't think i knew her. I watched her canter around the grass and then go over a log. I would go down and watch but i didn't want to seem nosey, i really wanted to though and i had nothing else to do. I slowly made my way down to the course following after the girl on her beautiful horse. She seemed like a good rider and her horse seemed really well behaved. I thought for a moment if she knew where Issy was and i could go and find her, i would ask her if i got the chance to!

Watching the rider made me so want to ride, desperately. I was so eager to get Bingo over here, it was killing how much longer it would take!!! He was supposed to arrive around this afternoon, full of excitement i hadn't noticed that the horse was maybe slightly fresh. Worried thinking it might have been me that scared the horse i was going to retreat back to the barn and leave the girl in peace. It seemed i was to late though, she was already heading over here and i was going to be in trouble. As she approached i shifted by weight, this is all i needed now. Brand new and someone already hates me without saying anything, All i did was watch. Great it just had to happen, on my first day aswell.

The girl had got closer and i looked closer at her, I knew this face! But i couldn't see it properly, but i just knew i'd seen this persons way of riding, the brilliant technique and the control and great seat she had on top of the horse. The girl spoke to me, it was ISSY!!!!!!!!!! my best friend, i hadn't seen her in ages!!!! She was the one person i'd been dying to see all day since i arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!
ISSY!!!!!!!!!Oh my god!!!! I HAVN'T SEEN YOU IN AGES!!!! I couldn't contain my excitement, i knew better not to act excited around horses, it fizzed them. I just managed to contain myself. I rushed over as calmly as i could and gave her a massive hug.
When i'd calmed down a bit i managed to reply to Issy's question.
i'm great thanks!!! what about u?

I watched Issy's lovely horse, he looked good. With some hard work and intense training he could be a very promising horse in the future, maybe a winner if we kept it all going. I grinned as Issy said 'likewise', i watched the horse carefully. You could tell the horse was a youngster but was well mannered for his age, most youngsters weren't this patient. Waiting at least 30 seconds made them wriggle and shuffle around.

When Issy said that she would need some help with her horse i was happy to help her, i loved helping out my friends in any way with their horses, this horse definitely seemed worth while to help out.
"Yeah sure! I'd love to help you out!" I exclaimed smiling walking quietly around the horse, checking out his hocks and back, his neck and his all around line out. I didn't want to spook him so i made it clear to him that i was there, making sure that i had a slight bit of his attention even though it didn't need to be much it just needed to be some.
I understood that youngsters didn't like to wait so i didn't when she had to ride around a bit, i enjoyed watching riding aswell as doing it.
When Issy replied to my question and said she was fine, it just seemed like the simplest thing to say and easiest reply, there had to be more to it than that, there had to be the disadvantages and advantages. What had been going on at the stables, who was nice who wasn't and who were Issy's friends. Oh, well i would find out later right now i just wanted to relax and watch Issy ride.

I couldn't wait to ride my own horse, i just had to be patient while he was being traveled over here. He would be here soon, he was either going to ride late this afternoon which would be great or tomorrow, at the latest it would be two days time.
