Wyatt made his way to indoor arena with his five year old Hanoverian stallion, Mode. The giant horse was being a brat today, and Wyatt could tell he was going to be trouble. He ran a muscled hand through his brown hair and sighed. He really wasn't in the mood for a battle today. However, he would not let his horse win. When it came to stubborness, he wasn't sure who was worse- him or Mode. Wyatt fixed the stirrups to his rediculously expensive saddle and mounted with great ease. He settled himself and prepared to pick up the massive beast beneath him. Mode pawed the ground, ready to move. Wyatt laughed and pressed his heels into the animal's side, and the pair began at a walk towards the rail.
Mode's antsy nature began to appear as they walked along. The stallion wanted to go, so Wyatt was constantly having to hold him back. He moved him into a trot and began a comfortable post. He was suprised the horse was doing this good. Afraid he was speaking to soon, he kept a firm hand on the horse, allowing no room for error. Mode's ears swiveled back and forth, waiting for the next command. Wyatt urged him to canter and the black stallion obliged eagerly. The pair of them were flawless. They looked very good with one another, and Wyatt was glad he had chosen to ride today. Mode moved fluidly beneath him, and Wyatt slowed him to a collected trot. It was time for some jumping.
The young man dismounted and set up a few jumps in the center of the arena. He set up a range of different heights, not wanting to exhaust his horse. Mode could jump extremely high, but today was just a fun day. His mother and father would die if they knew that all the money put into training for the very expensive show horse was being wasted by having "fun". Wyatt could care less what his parents thought of him. He knew what was best for HIS horse, regardless of whether or not they paid for him. Yes, Mode had the best training in the country, but Wyatt was his owner, and they deserved to relax every now and then. He mounted the 17.3 hh horse again and prepared to jump. Mode was excited. Wyatt could feel it as they circled around for the jump. The pair moved gracefully towards it at a canter. Wyatt picked up the stallion and together they cleared the first jump by a few feet. They completed the course flawlessly and Wyatt patted the stallion's neck affectionately. "Good boy." He dropped his reigns casually and let Mode walk around the arena for a moment of rest.

Coming Soon [/IMG] SIX FEET UNDER SCREAMS ,but no one seems to hear a thing • • • • • • • • • • • • My hand twisted my long blond hair into a single section allowing my Charles Owen helmet to slide easily onto my head. I was finally getting good at putting my hair up into my helmets, it only took ten years to perfect. I tugged lightly at my hairnet making sure no stray hairs escaped. No I wasn't showing and my hair didn't have to look even halfway decent, but it was a pet peeve of mine when those girls go around with half of their ponytail sticking out of their helmet. It just looked bad.
I grabbed my black leather schooling gloves and slide them over my freezing hands. Stupid winter, making the earth cold. I thought as I grabbed a couple of treats and shoved my hands into the pockets of my black Ariat jacket.
It took me a couple of minutes to get ready to ride. Yeah, I was actually going to ride today, shocker. Out of my three horses one was a crazy thoroughbred that was only going under saddle on good days, and the other was a two year old that was walking and trotting in the summer. I only had one that I could actually work on with more then flat work. Leroy, my five year old medium pony that my mom had started training and that I was now going to finish training. He was my pride and joy. There was never a boring day with Leroy, ever.
I pulled out my tack and set it on his stall. I quickly brushed and tacked him in about seven minutes. I'm a speed tacker. Before putting on the bridle I fed him a treat, zipped up my black tall boots, buckled everything and we were ready.
It was cold, or at least I thought it was cold so I was praying that there weren't to many people in the indoor ring. Thank God for the kinda of heated indoor arena!
I held the reigns at the buckle and Leroy followed behind me, his head facing to the side as he tried to look at all of the things around him. We reached the gate and before unlatching it I caught sight of a huge, and I mean huge, horse walking around the ring. Ugh, hopefully he won't say he wants the ring to himself. I thought before yelling across the arena, "Hey! Do you mind if we work in here too?"
this is you thinking !
" this is you speaking ! "
" this is someone else speaking ! "

Mode's head hung low as he trudged silently around the arena. His massive black head could almost touch the ground. This was Wyatt's way of letting the young horse know that it was okay to rest after working hard. He trained all of his horses this way. Take a little, give a little more. He absentmindedly scratched his horse's whithers with his index finger. Mode let out a breath and flicked his french braided tail back and forth. Wyatt hated when his horses' tales were flying about getting dirty while he rode. Call him a neat freak, but he didn't like having to brush them out every time he rode. Wyatt took his feet out of the stirrups and let them dangle loosely at Mode's sides. The stallion let out a little squeal and bolted forward a few strides before stopping altogether. Wyatt slid onto the horses neck and let out a loud grunt. "Dumb, horse. What was that for?" He repositioned himself, this time with his feet in the stirrups. He could tell Mode wanted to work, so he would happily oblige.
He moved the stallion to the center of the arena once more and began doing extensive dressage moves that would take any normal horse years to learn. Mode was a prodigy. The three year old could already compete with very high level horses and win. Wyatt knew what he was doing, too. His parents money had bought him the best coaches out there. He started riding at the age of three, and began showing at five. His life since then had always been horses. The dressage work was quickly interrupted by a shout from accross the arena. Wyatt turned to see a young girl entering with her horse, or pony was more like it. He chuckled at the size of the animal compared to his own collosal beast. He smiled to the girl and gave a half wave, "No! Come on in and make yourself at home. Despite the massive size of this guy, we only need half the arena." His British accent was thick, despite him trying to cover it up. He rode over to where the girl was and stopped a few feet away. "I'm Wyatt Stone. This here is I Only Date Models, or just Mode." He offered his hand from atop the giant horse and chuckled at his absurdness. He leaned over in order to offer her a better chance at reaching his greeting.

Coming Soon [/IMG] SIX FEET UNDER SCREAMS ,but no one seems to hear a thing • • • • • • • • • • • • My hand rested on the latch to the gate as I watched the huge animal moving over the footing. And I thought Dance was big. Dance was a midget next to whoever that was.
"No! Come on in and make yourself at home. Despite the massive size of this guy, we only need half the arena."
I smiled at the response and let myself and Leroy into the arena. My pony followed me in a circle around to gently shut the gate. Usually I'd slam it shut, but not while other people with horses I don't know were in the ring. That's the last thing I would need, someone falling off at my expense.
The huge horse broke to a walk and started coming in our direction. See, I pay attention to my surroundings! Leroy's ears move forward as he lifted his head the slightest bit at the massive animal. Dance was a midget next to this thing, Leroy was a miniature dwarf. The buckskin pony nickered the slightest bit and I shot him a quick glance.
"I'm Wyatt Stone. This here is I Only Date Models, or just Mode."
They were only a couple of steps away now. I couldn't get over how big this horse was. Sure I've seen my fair share of horses that were big in my life time, but the height combined with the color was striking. "Aw what a cute name." I said with a smile on my face. "He's gorgeous." My eyes went from the giant horse to the person riding him. He addressed himself as Wyatt and bent down for a handshake. I went with it, taking a step forward and raising my arm and putting my glove covered hand into hid to shake back. "I'm Skye and this is Leroy."
I couldn't keep the stupid looking smile off of my face. The cause, a mixture between how absolutely adorable and beyond this Wyatt guy was, and ridiculous I must look with my 13.2 hand pony next to his... giant. Then again it could be worse. I could look too big on my pony. Being only 5'2 and small in general, I actually looked pretty normal on him, whatever normal is.
I stepped back and threw the reigns over Leroy's head, tightened the girth, and pulled my stirrups down. With a quick motion I was on the pony's back collecting my reigns. "It's nice to meet you." My words came with a nod and, of course, a smile.
this is you thinking !
" this is you speaking ! "
" this is someone else speaking ! "

Wyatt grinned down at the girl before him and sat back in his saddle after she had shook his hand. He wasn't exactly sure how greetings were supposed to go here in Texas. Back home, one was expected to present themself with dignity and honor. Here, it was just a casual hello and a name. Wyatt was still growing accustomed to the ways of life in the lonestar state. He chuckled at the look on the girl's face as she studied Mode. He was definitely used to people being shocked at his size. The stallion was breathtaking, really. His sheen, black coat was astounding, and combined with his height he was beautiful. Wyatt nodded as she gave her name. "Skye really is a beautiful name. Very nature-y." He looked at the little pony and laughed. "You're little Leroy is positively adorable." Mode eyed the little midget fascinatingly. He had never seen anything like it. The Hanoverian reached out his nose gingerly and sniffed the tiny creature, investigating his likeness. The young horse squealed and jolted backwards, sending his distracted rider into the dirt.
Wyatt let out a gasp as he was catapulted to the ground. It was a long fall from Mode's back, but Wyatt managed to make the fall look somewhat collected. He began to laugh, embarrassed by his lack of ability to stay on. He honestly had not expected that at all. He looked up to the girl with a goofy grin on his face. "Well...I guess this is a good display of my horseman skills. This big boy seems to have got the best of me at this moment in time." He shrugged and began dusting himself off. The arena dirt was thick and stuck to his clothing in an annoying fashion. He ran a hand through his hair and unsuccesfully tried to get the dirt out. He finally gave up and regained his composition. "It's a pleasure to meet you, as well, Skye. I apologize for my idiotic fashion." He flashed his award winning smile and turned to face the horse that had just caused his embarrassing episode. "You, sir," He mounted in a swift movement, "Will be the death of me."
After readjusting himself, Wyatt glanced over to the girl who was now mounted on her pony. She was a pretty young girl, he had to admit. He could tell by the way she looked at him that she appreciated his handsome features as well. Wyatt was very accustomed to the way women looked at him. Him and his twin sister had dabbled in modeling, but Wyatt hated it. He felt like a piece of meat just tossed out into the open for wolves to devour. His sister enjoyed the attention, but Wyatt personally did not. He wanted people to like him for his charm. His looks helped, but they were not the only important thing. "So, Skye, what is it you and Mr. Leroy will be doing today? Anything in the nature of jumping or dressage?" He walked Mode over to stand next to the pair, and he literally had to look down on them. With a laugh he said, "I think we would be better off with me standing on the ground next to you two. At least then I would be only a few feet taller." He smiled jokingly and patted his horses neck, never taking his eyes off Skye's.

Coming Soon [/IMG] SIX FEET UNDER SCREAMS ,but no one seems to hear a thing • • • • • • • • • • • • I was busy messing with my stirrups to see what happened, but the thud on the ground quickly caught my attention. Wyatt was there on the ground and I instantly put a hand over my mouth to ensure that I wouldn't burst out laughing. Right as I was about to ask if he was okay he got up and brushed himself off. I figured he was totally fine judging by his laughter and how quickly he got back on his horse. I have to admit, a few snickers did come from me. It was kind of really funny.
In one quick motion I put my foot in the stirrup and settled myself onto Leroy's back. "It's nice to meet you." My words came with a nod and, of course, a smile. My eyes seemed to be stuck on his despite the fact I had to look up to see them.
"So, Skye, what is it you and Mr. Leroy will be doing today? Anything in the nature of jumping or dressage?"
He had walked his horse over to stand near them and I shyly broke the stare. "Um.." I cleared my throat and looked down at my pony's mane. Quickly, I put my feet in my stirrups and squeezed my heels lightly into his side sending him forward at a walk. "Mostly flat work and maybe some jumping. He needs to learn to stay slow." As I spoke I turned a little in my saddle.
We were walking a big circle around Wyatt and mode at this point. I had one hand on the reigns and the other hand rested in my nice, warm pocket. Leroy's walk was a bit faster then usual. His head was lifted and kind of bobbing back a forth rather then being in his perfect little hunter frame. It was my fault though, I didn't let any of my horses out today and now I would pay the price for that.
"I think we would be better off with me standing on the ground next to you two. At least then I would be only a few feet taller."
Skye's head immediately turned to the gorgeous boy on the big black horse. Her jaw dropped and she shook her head playfully. Whoa there, buddy you're getting ahead of yourself. You might just be a couple of inches taller." I shot him a smile as I raise my free hand and fixed my helmet.
I slowly shortened my reigns a little keeping slack between my hand and the bit and pressed the pony into a trot. The first couple of steps felt like riding a pogo stick but Leroy started moving normally after a couple strides. He pointed his little hooves as he dropped his head into the hunter frame that he was born with. We started on the rail and used the whole arena for this lap. I wasn't fully concentrating on him as much as I should have been though. My mind was still in the previous conversation I was having with Wyatt. I looked up toward Wyatt and his horse and yelled across the ring, "What half do you want?" My voice was a little off considering I was posting and all, but he should have been able to figure out the message.

Wyatt could tell that Skye was trying her best not to laugh at his expense. He probably wouldn't have cared even if she did burst out in fits of laughter. It was funny. Personally, if the roles had been reversed, he most likely would have laughed as well. He definitely would have made sure she was alright, but with a fall from Leroy he doubted it would even hurt that bad. Despite having immediately got back on, Wyatt's ribs did feel a little tender. He didn't want to show this weakness to his aquaintance, but it hurt rather badly. He shrugged it off and gave his ribs a few pats in order to accustom himself to the pain. He was a freak about injuries. His uncle tought him that if you can hit the bruise and grow numb to the pain, you will be alright. Wyatt knew it was absurd, but it was the piece of his uncle that he could bring to reality in everyday life.
"Um...Mostly flat work and maybe some jumping. He needs to learn to stay slow." Skye's response to his question about the type of riding the pair would be training in today was quick. He nodded in acknowledgement and gave a little grin. "Perhaps a jump off would be enjoyable." He laughed at his little joke and quickly added, "I only tease. However, I am curious to watch you jump. I find it fascinating spectating others when they work. It gives me the extra drive I need." Wyatt raised his eyebrows waiting for a response from his new friend. He enjoyed riding with other people. It was a nice change from his usual hardworking routines.
Wyatt laughed heartily at her response about him being a few inches taller. "You are right. My apologies, miss. I was wrong to assume such a great distance." He couldn't seem to stop grinning stupidly. He really enjoyed Skye's company, and they had just met. She was his first friend at Crossfire Farms. He had been so busy with settling in and job hunting that he hadn't made any time for new people. He was rather pleased that she had decided to join him on the brisk day. Wyatt was accustomed to the cold, but he still didn't particularly enjoy it. On this day he was clad in jeans and a flannel shirt with a thick carhart jacket over. His hands were bare, and he didn't realize how cold his fingers were until he noticed Skye's hand in her pocket. He, too, placed his chilled limb into the warmth of the coat. That was instantly better.
Wyatt watched in fascination as the other pair, horse and rider, made a lap around the arena. A smile lit his handsome features as he heard Skye's shaky voice call out, "What half do you want?" He pondered it momentarily before replying, "Well...I would assume, that is if it pleases you, that we could just share the entire thing. We shall stay out of your way, but it is rather difficult to confine Mode to one half." In reality, Wyatt just didn't want to ride by himself on one half. He would rather be able to observe Skye and Leroy and possibly have a nice chat.

Coming Soon [/IMG] SIX FEET UNDER SCREAMS ,but no one seems to hear a thing • • • • • • • • • • • • Leroy had the kind of trot that felt like you were just barely touching the ground. The pony had some spring in his step making him feel faster then he was going. I was holding him back a lot today. My hands tightened and loosened on the reigns according to his step. He responded fairly well by slowing his step rather then shortening it.
"Perhaps a jump off would be enjoyable." He laughed at his little joke and quickly added, "I only tease. However, I am curious to watch you jump. I find it fascinating spectating others when they work. It gives me the extra drive I need."
Hearing the word jump off made me actually laugh out loud. I knew my little welsh pony would be no match for that giant he was on, but hey, it could be fun. "Wait wait wait wait. A jump off? You are so on!" Granted I wasn't exactly sure how this jump off thing would be gone about. I had never really watched one or taken time to even listen to how it works. I only rode hunters and equitation, sure, I knew what a hack off was.
I simply said the word walk and the small buckskin pony did so immediately. I let him walk half way around the ring as I listened to Wyatt's idea of sharing the ring at this time and agreed with him by loudly saying 'Sounds good.' I was thinking of sharing the ring in the first place, he was the one who started the whole cut in half thing.
I made it half way around the ring a the walk before getting ready to ask for the canter. She mentally prepared herself for Leroy's spazz attacks at the canter as she shortened her reigns the slightest bit. I sat back, lifted the inside reign, and said canter in a demanding voice. My outside leg was pressed against the pony's side and my inside leg kept him from moving off the rail. He picked up the bouncey canter from the walk and immediatly threw his head down and started bucking. Within the first five strides that were really just Leroy's "Ariel dressage moves"I pulled my hands up and kicked the pony forward. That how my mom had always taught me to do it, but kick them forward and pull up their heads.
He went around the arena with a couple of small circles included with the same good bad pattern. I cut across the diagonal, sat out, and Leroy immediately bucked into a lead change and went on with his canter. After a couple laps this way we came to a walk. The pony wasn't even breathing heavy, he was very fit. "So about this jump off. We're ready.. just explain the rules real quick."
this is you thinking !

Wyatt was actually rather suprised when she agreed to the jump off so quickly. She had to know that Mode was clearly going to be able to jump higher. He liked the fact that Skye was up for a challenge, even when the odds weren't in her favor. He watched the pair as Skye schooled the pony around the arena. He was a very smooth mover from what Wyatt could see across the arena. The only problem was the bucking, but Skye handled it very well and quickly brought the pony back to order. She knew what she was doing up there. Wyatt admired her for a few more minutes until she rode over to where he was and said, "So about this jump off. We're ready.. just explain the rules real quick." He smiled, pleased at her willingness. He dismounted his horse in one fluid movement and went to stand next to her and the pony. He patted Leroy's neck affectionately and rested his hand a few inches away from Skye's thigh. "Okay, so the rules. There are official hack off rules, but I prefer the ones me and my sister made up when we were young. Basically all you do is jump. After every round that we both make it over, we raise the jumps another inch. We go until one of us gets a fault or fails to jump it completely." He raised his eyebrows and took a step closer, "However, to make it interesting, me and my sister would always make a few bets. So what do you say? What shall the terms of this jump off be?" He chuckled and patted Skye's leg before making his way over to the jump. He set it extremely low, literally almost touching the ground. He liked to get them warmed up over little things before hitting the big jumps.
Wyatt made his way across the arena and back to his horse. He stood next to Mode's head and cupped the horse's face tenderly. This big guy really was a fantastic horse, and despite Wyatt's banter, he really did love him. It was very evident in how he treated him and acted around him. Wyatt redirected his attention to his competitor and gave her a big grin. "So would you like to start, Miss Skye? Or would you prefer that we go first?" He led Mode closer to them and stood directly next to her. With his index finger and his middle finger, he slowly "walked" them up her arm and gave her a pat on the cheek. "It's up to you, my dear." With that said, he walked away and mounted easily. He knew he was being a huge flirt with the young girl, but he couldn't help it. She made it so easy. She really was a great girl, but Wyatt knew he needed to tone it down. From that moment on, he decided that he would keep his distance a little bit better.
Mode pawed the ground in anticipation. He knew what was about to happen. He had done these jump offs at home all the time. Wyatt always chose Mode to compete against his sister, because he knew Mode would win. His twin was an excellent rider, but she stood no chance against the boys. Mode excitedly danced in place and eyed the jumps. Wyatt laughed and turned to say something to Skye, but then quicklly caught himself and turned back around. Distance. He would get through the jump off and then leave the poor girl alone.

Coming Soon [/IMG] SIX FEET UNDER SCREAMS ,but no one seems to hear a thing • • • • • • • • • • • • My eyes followed Wyatt as he got off of his horse and walked the short distance to Leroy and I. I held the reigns in one hand and put the hand closer to Wyatt in my I watched as he patted Leroy's neck and the pony's head turned toward him as if looking to see what was going on. I swear that pony can understand English, he sure acts like it sometimes.pocket again.
"Okay, so the rules. There are official hack off rules, but I prefer the ones me and my sister made up when we were young. Basically all you do is jump. After every round that we both make it over, we raise the jumps another inch. We go until one of us gets a fault or fails to jump it completely. However, to make it interesting, me and my sister would always make a few bets. So what do you say? What shall the terms of this jump off be?"
My eyes didn't leave his. I listened to the rules and the end caught my attention. We were betting now? But both of us knew that I was going to loose. That just meant that I had to make both sides work for me. "I'll have to get back to you on that." My words came as he patted my leg and walked toward the jump. As he was walking I shook my head trying to think of something that, win or loose, would work for me.
My head turned and I looked at the jump we were to clear for the first round. Seriously? I thought to myself as I started internally laughing. This was going to take longer then I expected. I tried to think of how high Leroy should jump rather the how high is a capable of. The pony could probably free jump 3'6, he was that talented. With me on his back I was thinking I'd stop him at 3 feet. I had jumped him that high once before and since this was a single vertical I'd let him go that high one more time.
I watched Wyatt come back and go to his horse. His huge, gorgeous, black horse that could probably jump my pony alone. This jump off was going to be interesting.
"So would you like to start, Miss Skye? Or would you prefer that we go first?"
I shrugged. I didn't really care who went first as long as I got my turn. "I don't care." He started leading his horse closer to me. I wasn't expecting it, but he walked hiis fingers up my arm and patted my cheek.
"It's up to you, my dear."
I smirked and took my hand out of my pocket. I gathered up my reigns, look him dead in the eye and said, "Alright, I'll go first." Before turning around and starting to the jump, I had to include the terms of this jump off. "Oh and since we're making this interesting, I have some terms in mind. If you loose you take care of all three of my horses for the next month. This means food, stalls, turn out, and whatever else I say. If I loose... well you can think of something."
Without hesitation I turned the pony toward the rail. He picked up his canter a little better this time and cantered to the first.. pole jump thing. He cantered up to the pole at a consistent pace. I stayed off of the pony's back as we approached the jump. Three. Two. One. He over jumped it but I knew it was coming. Leroy landed bucking into his lead change. I whoa-d to a trot, then a walk, and patted the pony's neck. I halted back where I had started. "Don't pull a rail, hot shot."

Wyatt chuckled at her lack of terms. She knew she wasn't going to win, so his guess was she was trying to think of something that would benefit her. Wyatt really wasn't intending on making her do anything outrageous. Although he was rather competitive, he would spare her first jump off. He could sense her thoughts as she eyed the first jump. "Don't get your panties in a wad. They'll get bigger. Don't want anyone to get hurt now, do we?" He grinned and made a tight circle with Mode, who was clearly ready to go. Wyatt nodded his head when she said, "Alright, I'll go first." He watched in anticipation as Leroy set off towards the extremely tiny jump, if that's what you would even call it. He smiled inwardly as the pair cleared the jump and the pony did a buck landing. Skye recomposed him and they came to stand next to him.
"Don't pull a rail, hot shot." He laughed out loud at her words and winked, "Don't worry about me now, Princess." He gently gathered his reigns and placed his feet in the stirrups. Mode's black ears pricked eagerly and swiveled around. Wyatt murmured softly to him and pressed his heels into the horse's sides. Mode moved off his leg pressure into a trot and Wyatt circled him around to face the jump head on. He asked for a collected canter and Mode willingly obliged. He quickened his pace as they approached and Wyatt was forced to hold him back, knowing that his horse would barely have to step over the jump. Mode snorted as he came closer to the rail. Wyatt counted his strides and rose into two point as he picked his Hanoverian up over the jump. Mode soared over the jump with feet to spare. He had a habit of overjumping. Wyatt laughed as they landed flawlessly on the other side. He grinned back at Skye and slowed Mode to a trot, then a walk.
Wyatt dismounted and jogged to the jump. "I'm raising it to a foot so be ready!" He remounted and trotted over to the other horse and rider. He ran a hand through his hair and gestured to the jump with his free hand, "After you." He thought about the terms she had said and laughed. Taking care of her horses for a month? Clever, it really was. Perhaps he would do the same. "I've decided my terms. If you lose, you must do the same for me. Taking care of my horses. Everything." He wasn't really intending on losing. His male ego didn't allow room for that.

Coming Soon [/IMG] SIX FEET UNDER SCREAMS ,but no one seems to hear a thing • • • • • • • • • • • • "Don't worry about me now, Princess."
I couldn't help but laugh at his remark and roll my eyes. He knew how to think of a come back, I'd give him that much. I dropped my reigns and held the buckle with one hand while I let me feet dangle out of stirrups. I watched his jump closely. His horse jumped it huge but he seemed to go with it. Another thing I could give him credit for, he could ride. I caught the smirk after the jump and scoffed sarcastically and turned away. Well if he was that good, maybe he could get on Dance some day.
"I'm raising it to a foot so be ready!"
I watched as he adjusted the jump and just smiled at his remark. "You and Blackie there better be ready too. Don't slack on the smaller stuff." After he said 'after you' I turned Leroy sharply. I was sure he was going to be able to clear this. He started walking and I put my feet into the stirrups, shortened my reigns, and went from the walk to the trot to the canter almost perfectly. The pony's pace and stride was perfect for this size jump. He effortlessly cleared it without any sort of playful action before or after.
"I've decided my terms. If you lose, you must do the same for me. Taking care of my horses. Everything."
I heard his terms as I walked back to my starting point. "Really? What an honor that would be! OMG you are so kind!" My words were purely sarcastic, but I wasn't being mean, just joking. "Now go. It's cold."
this is you thinking !
" this is you speaking ! "

Wyatt observed in admiration as Skye turned Leroy to face the next obstacles. She had guts, he'd give her that. The little pony was pretty good, as well. They knew what they were doing. Leroy's little heart could jump anything, it was his legs that were restricting him. He respected the pair, and he would be sure not to underestimate them as the jumps got higher. He watched Skye pick him up over the jump, and he couldn't help but smile at her grace and beauty. He didn't even know how old she was, but he knew that he was too old for her. As much as he enjoyed her company, it had to remain strictly friendly. Wyatt was slightly dissapointed with this fact, but he knew it was for the better. Besides, he wasn't even all that sure if she liked him. She was pretty fiesty and that said something, despite how handsome he really was.
Wyatt chuckled at her sarcastic response to his terms. "Hey, I'm just glad that you are giving ME the same honor." He turned Mode around to face the jump and tossed back over his shoulder, "Prepare to be amazed." He laughed and picked up a smooth canter from a standstill. Mode tossed his head and Wyatt tightened the reigns a bit. The one foot jump would be nothing for them. They headed for it fearlessly and took it in stride. Mode, obviously, cleared the jump easily. Wyatt patted his neck lovingly and praised the young horse. He dismounted and walked to the jump to add some more height. The jump was now 2 feet tall. Wyatt wasn't even going to sweat it. He didn't know how high Leroy could jump, but he assumed that he could still get over this with ease.
Wyatt stayed on the ground and led Mode over to Skye and Leroy. He grinned as he approached and tapped his fingers on Skye's thigh once again. "Your turn, Princess." His next move was bold, and somewhat stupid. He leaned forward, not even having to look up, and softly kissed Skye's cheek. His lips lingered on her face momentarily before he pulled back. Alarms went off in his head at what he had just done. He cleared his throat and blurted, "I am so sorry...I have no idea where that came from..." He shook his head, embarrassed by his rediculous actions. Most girls would die for him to kiss them, but she was young. Too young.

Coming Soon [/IMG] SIX FEET UNDER SCREAMS ,but no one seems to hear a thing • • • • • • • • • • • • Our jump was perfect. Leroy only needed to clear the three footer for me to be beyond happy with him. He was a great pony and my pride and joy at this point. He and Derby were what I had left of my parents.
"Prepare to be amazed."
I laughed at this remark. "It's a foot high, I'm pretty sure amazed won't be the word I'm looking for." My sarcasm again. It was nice to be around someone and totally be myself. I didn't have to hide anything from this Wyatt, he didn't expect anything from me. This friendship we had just created was fun.
He cleared it flawlessly of course and I just clapped at the with a smirk on my face. I watched Wyatt pull the jump up to two feet. Another height I was sure Leroy could clear. I patted his neck and ran my hands through his short black mane. My gloves made it harder to run my hands through his mane, but I managed.
As Wyatt was coming back over I noticed he wasn't on his horse. Every other time he was on his horse, until now. I thought nothing of it. My hands patted my helmet onto my head and I made sure there were no stray hairs coming from my hairnet.
His fingers tapped on my thigh again, but I thought nothing of it. I didn't feel the need to think anything of it. All I knew was it was my turn and I needed to pray for a miracle if I wanted to win.
As I put my feet into the stirrups the next thing I knew, Wyatt had kissed me. Granted it was on the cheek, but still. I was seventeen and he was god knows how old! The first thing in my mind was 'I'm sure that was illegal'. My jaw dropped and I turned my head toward him.
"I am so sorry...I have no idea where that came from..."
I didn't know what to say. I was dumbfounded and taken by surprise. "What do you think you're doing!? But before you answer that do you realize how that was probably illegal considering you probably aren't seventeen or younger!? Did the helmet not give away that I'm a MINOR?" I was yelling at him from Leroy's back and when I was done I quickly dismounted, pushing him out of the way in the process, pulled the reigns over the pony's head, ran up my stirrups, loosened the girth and turned back to Wyatt. My arms were crossed and my face was blank. I was waiting for my response and best of all, what he was going to do to keep me from telling anyone.
this is you thinking !

" this is someone else speaking ! "

Wyatt's heart almost stopped as Skye began yelling at him. He had known that what he did was stupid, but he thought she would enjoy it at least. His jaw dropped when she accused him of being older than seventeen. SEVENTEEN? His muscled hand went to his mouth instantly. He was shocked. He knew she was young, but not that young! He had just commited a crime. Oh God, his life was over. Wyatt eyed her nervously, amazed at how in an instant he had ruined a perfectly good friendship. In fact, his only friendship. He shook his dark head and looked at Skye who had now dismounted.
"Look, Skye, I had no idea you were that young...You can't seriously tell me that you aren't attracted to me the slightest bit. If I had known you were a minor I would have stayed away. Plenty of people wear helmets that are over eighteen." Wyatt's voice was frantic as he searched her face for any sign of forgiveness. He saw none. "You weren't exactly pushing away my attempts at flirting, either.." He knew it was a long shot, but he was giving her anything he could. "Look, we're friends. We were having a great time until I lost control. Let's just forget about this. Please." Wyatt knew she was furious at him. In all honesty, she had completely gone along with it when he had touched her thigh and cheek earlier. He thought she was welcoming the attention. Boy was he wrong.
Wyatt took a tentative step closer to her, and immediately retreated back to Mode's side. He leaned on the horse and closed his eyes. He knew this was going to end badly. "What do you want from me? I'll do anything, as long as this stays our little secret." Skye seemed like a nice person, but he knew that she would milk this for all it was worth. She also had smarts on her side. Not to mention the obvious advantage. He may have been able to whip her at jumping, but this was one competition she was going to win.
