"I think it turned out pretty well, don't you?" I said to Nick, a broad smile on my face. My feet were sore from walking around all day in my boots, and I felt a little cold, and considerably fat, but I had two blue ribbons around my neck.
"Pretty well" Nick said, glancing away from the road to give me a congratulatory smile. We had spent the day at a small one day event three hours away from Evergreen. [And I didn't bother to include heaps of posts about training Jedda because that would just get heaps tedious for me, cos I'd have to think about new things to write about everytime, and I'm too Dain Bread for that.] I had taken Jedda in a jumping class, and we had come first, not so much to the fact that Jedda was a model ride, but that we were in a jump off and she got so excited that she practically ran around the horse, and luckily didn't knock down a rail- which I felt a little guilty about in a way, seeing as we probably belonged more in the top class, not the second top class, but she was a little out of condition. It was lucky that we'd been out on heaps of trails to get her stamina up, so she had a lot of energy, and we'd been jumping her on fences at least as high as the ones she had gone over.
I looked over at Nick. Macca had pulled a shoe off on one of the fences after a shoddy farrier job, and had disaligned his shoulder, and needed a chiropractor.
"Hol," Cola called from the backseat. She grasped onto the sides of the two front seats and propped herself up, her head poking through the gap between. "I didn't know that Jedda's show name was Vagabond." She said increduously.
"Mmm." I said, "I guess I just call her Jedda all the time. I just thought Jedda was more appropriate. I don't think she would appreciate being called a vagabond. She's a little haughty like that." I said smiling.
Nick took one hand off the steering wheel and placed it atop my own. I leant over and kissed him.
"Eugh." Cola said in the backseat. "Would you two stop?" She laughed, as I gave her the mock-death-glare, and pinched her cheek like a grandmother would.
"Ow!" She said, and I laughed in the evil sister kind of way.
