I walked Vegas into the stable and clipped her on the cross ties. I looped the string on my crop around my wrist, just in case she were to misbehave. I undid her girth and bridle and took her tack to the tack room. I returned to the croosties. I ran over her quickly with a curry, to start. She spooked at a bird and I smacked her belly "I have a crop and you don't spook at birds. Okay?" I gave her neck a pat and continued grooming.

"She's a horse, she's ALLOWED to spook at things." I snapped as I took the olnly pair of free crosstiews

"Then there is no GOOD horse." I retorted, pulling out my yellow curry comb

"I'm at least going to make her try." She kept stepping left s i went to her right side and gave her a light smack on the belly. "Just. Stand. There is nothing, I repeat, nothing to be afraid of."

I was grooming Aidan in his stall. I raised my eyebrows and laughed. "Wow. Who taught you THAT method of discipline?" I asked ashley.

"Mind your own business. Do you think Olympic horses are born perfect? I don't think so. They need discipline. She's learning" I snapped. "I'm even grooming her. She should be behaving nicely. She needs to learn to be less nervous if she wants to be a show horse rather than a brood mare"

I walked in. "OBIVOUSLY, they know NOTHING about riding." I said. "At least English." I had been listening.

"Whatever you say. She's mine and I'll do what I want with her. If she doesn't want to behave anymore, she can always go home and live out her life as a spoiled mommy. If she behaves, she can live the glamorous show horse life. Either way, it's win-win for her"

My phone buzzed in my pocket. uh-oh, it's Dad. I picked up.
"Hi, Dad"
How was practice?
"Okay, Vegas wasn't doing too well"
Again? That mare is worthless. She'll never make a good mom either. Remember that the vet said she'd have tough births because of some fancy internal thing? Maybe it's time to sell...
"Dad! No! Give her another chance. No one will buy her anyway, she's too high strung"
Then she'll have to be put down. We can't have any looser horses in my stable
"What are you talking about! She's a great horse. Put her down? Please, give her one more chance. She's worth too much"
Fine, but win the next show or she's gone. Speaking up hopeless horses, your old gelding had colic again.
"Dad, he's not old, he's 15. And just because he is retired, doesn't make him worthless. But is he okay?"
Thankfully. I think he should go too. He's just taking up a pointless stall
"Are you kidding!?! I've had Glory all my life! I grew up with him! I trained him! He's mine and you cannot do anything to him! I will never sell him!" Tears ran down my cheeks.
We'll discuss this when you come home for break. And he's safe for now, seeing as he is legally yours and you could sue me if I did anything. Bye
"Bye."
I turned and walked over to Vegas. I clipped on her lead rope and lead her into he stall. I sat down in the back of the stall and cried.

"Ash...?" I asked quietly, seeing her crying. "Do you want a hug?"

"No" I sobbed "I want my horse" Vegas came over and nuzzled me "It's okay, girl, I won't let anything happen to you" I whispered

I let myself in, and gave Ashley a hug anyway. "I'll fight anyone who takes your horse away. Since my dad is a bodyguard...yeah. I can fight well."

"Looks like she does have a heart!" I said, finishing Pi's grooming and putting him in my stall. I texted Wally
Hey, you remember Pi? Well do you mind training him? He hasn't had a bit/bridle in a WHILE.

"I hope he's in that clinic this weekend..." I said to myself.
