Jace and Pride's New Home

Jace reached pride and untied him. Clicking his tongue, he walked towards the outdoor jumping arena. He just wanted to have a little fun and not do the huge jumps today. He let go of Pride's reins and kept walking, putting his helmet and gloves on as he did so. Stopping, he mounted Pride and tightened his grip on the reins. "Come on boy," he muttered and clicked his tongue. Jace warmed Pride up quickly, moving him around the jumps. The boy turned Pride towards the first jump and collected him. They took off over it, clearing the jump easily.

Smiling, she lead the filly in to the car park, where she could see Jace jumping Pride in the arena. "Woah girl" She spoke soothingly as the filly reared up, frightened by the new surroundings. The gilr kept pressure on Snipers side to keep him in check, the stallion listened and held his ground as the Filly danced around him. She slipped off Snipers back and turned to him, "Stall" She said, turning her attention back to the bright Chestnut filly. "Easy girl" the filly halted and looked at Leah, her ears pricked straight towards the girl. Leah took a step towards her and held her hand out. Stretching her neck the filly sniffed the hand before placing her head against it. "Good girl". Leah led her out through the stables and let her into the yard were she whinnied, greeting the other horses. She watched her for a bit before turning around where she came face to face with her stallion. She raised her eyebrows and shook her head. "Hello silly boy" She greeted him. She grabbed some of the stallions mane and sat high on his back. Feeling the girls weight Sniper stood square with his nose tucked into his chest. "Come on boy" she applied slight pressure to his sides and they headed upto the arena. Unlatching the gate she clicked her tongue and Sniper pushed it open with his chest. Once closed she headed to the middle of the arena and watched Jace for a bit.

Jace had just cleared another jump when he heard the gate open and close. He looked around quickly to see Leah and smiled. Pushing Pride a little faster, they headed towards a spread. It wasn't that big. Easy to clear. The boy collected his stallion and felt the horses feet leave the ground. They soared over the jump and landed smoothly. The pair turned to a cross-bar and cleared it easily. Jace steered Pride towards Leah and slowed him to a trot. "Hey," he smiled at Leah.

"Hey" She smiled sweetly at Jace before moving Sniper into a smooth, steady canter. “Want to see my filly?” She smiled and halted Sniper. The girl didn’t wait for an answer, she trotted past Jace and Pride, close enough for her to give the boy a kiss on the cheek. “Come on!” The pair trotted through the arena gate and down to the round yard.

Jace chuckled and pushed Pride into a smooth canter, "Come on boy," he told his horse. He cantered after Leah and Sniper, down to the round yard. "When did you get a filly?" he asked his girlfriend as he slowed Pride down to a trot. Pride heaved on the reins, throwing Jace forward a little. The boy pulled back, "Hold on boy. We will get back to work soon," he laughed.

Leah smiled, "I just went to pick her up, I've been waiting for her since they matched the mare and stallion, her sire was a halter champion and her dam was shown under saddle" The girl explained as they made their way down to the yards. She slid from Snipers back and headed over to the gorgeous Chestnut filly. "This, is River Oak Imprint" She said proudly, she was so happy the filly was finally hers.
