Participants: Me + Whoever joins Location: "Mainland" Time of Day: starts in early morning Description:Danielle's going to a rodeo Free to Join?: Y
I heard my alarm clock go off and knew what time it was, what day it was. I got up, very excited, because today there was a mainland rodeo! I walked into the bathroom as my head spun, thinking about all the new friends and horses I would meet there. It would be a great day to take a horse with me, too, so then, I'd have to think... which one should I bring? Probably Jazz, he's an attention-grabbing little appy. I thought as I hopped in the shower. After my bathroom needs were taken care of I went to the dresser, shoving clothes this way and that until I found a cute top and some jeans, of course I'd wear my boots with my spurs today. I quickly got dressed, skipped breakfast, and ran to the barn to meet my "Prince." Of course, his head was poking out of the stall, and as I approached him, he whinnied at me, eyes wide and alert, he was ready for our day to begin! I grabbed his halter and bucked it on him, clipping the lead rope as I opened his door to lead him out of the stall. I then tied him to the grooming bay's hitch and started to brush him off, he had a bath the night before, so he wasn't very dirty. when I got every inch of his body, I grabbed a comb and some cowboy magic and worked on his tail and mane until they were smooth and gleaming. when I was proud of my work, it was almost time to go! I led him out and towards the trailer "C'mon big man, lets get this show on the road! I quickly put him in his trailer and shut the gate, then ran to the tack room, adrenaline starting to faintly show, and grabbed my best tack set. Time to Shine. I loaded it up in my Dodge, then climbed in the drivers side, it was off to the show!
----------------------------------
I parked my truck and trailer and looked around, people from all over were grooming, tacking, and riding their horses, and all of them were beautiful. I opened my door and slid out before heading to the trailer to tack up my horse. come on, everyone can join! But I warn you, Danielle's a total flirt! XD (Towards guys, I mean )

Bella woke up at 4:30 in the morning to be able to make it to her first western show. After the briefly rubbing her eyes she sat up in bed as all the nervousness hit her. She immediately began thinking of all the things that could go wrong. By the end of breakfast she was on the verge of hyperventilating. Maybe it was a bad idea to go, or perhaps bringing Atlas would be best. By the time she finally made it to the barn it was almost 5. She was running late now also. After loading Mirage into the trailer she jumped into the seat of her pickup and sped off towards the small ship dock. By the time they had taken off from the small island she called home there was no longer any time to worry about what might happen. Exhausted from the stress already, she leaned back on the her seat and slept. ------------
She was woken by the blast of the ferry as she reached the mainland. After looking around for a bit, she ran off to get Mirage. Next she loading her back into the trailer and driving off at around 5:30. She arrived at the show and was amazed at how many people had shown up. After a driving around the parking lot a bit, she picked the empty space next to a blonde woman grooming an eye-catching Appi. Mirage noticed the horse too, and once she had been tied to be tacked up she signaled him with a low nicker in his direction. By this time Bella was mostly focused on grooming and saddling her, so she was forced to pay attention to the task ahead, and not to gaze at the beautiful horses that surrounded her.

I was heading back into the trailer as a truck and trailer pulled up next to me, I peered around to see a pretty horse in the trailer, along with a woman in the front. She looked nervous, she must be competing for something big. I turned and walked back into my trailer too get my show bridle
Jazz looked around, it was all slightly familiar the horses and all the bustle He looked towards the approaching truck with a small amount of interest, but soon turned back around. He swatted a pesky fly and sighed, then his ears perked as he heard a nicker, he turned back to see the stranger-horse looking at him, so He stretched his neck towards the other horse and nickered a "Hello" back.
"Jazz! Hush!" I laughed as I heard him nicker, then I looked at the woman standing, who was previously in the truck, "Hello! Sorry, he's pretty new at the whole 'Showing' thing" I said as I patted my horses rump. "This, by the way, is 'All That Jazz', or Jazz for short, and I'm Danielle!" I said, reaching my hand for a greeting, my show bridle in the other.

'Hi! I'm Bella, and the little flirt over there is Mirage. This is our first western show as you can tell. Jazz is gorgeous!" She cast a look towards the red roan mare's direction, as if to make sure she was still there. "For some reason I always start thinking of everything that can go wrong in times like this." She said with a nervous laugh. "I can't seem to keep her tied. It's like she can feel that this event is important and just can't stand the pressure!"
Mirage studied the horse that had answered her call. She wasn't quite sure whether to proceed with walking up and sniffing him or to stay put. Untying her lead rope was easy ever since she learned how. The atmosphere was nervous and new to her. She was used to the her calm island, where she ran with Atlas and the others. Being confined to a leadrope didn't suit her, she finally decided, as she untied the rope with a quick pull. She trotted up with a low whinny to sniff the stranger. "I knew it..." Bella said in a defeated tone. "I might as well let her have her way and meet your lovely Jazz already."

By the way, here's a photo of Jazz, Danielle's My avatar photo Oh, and haha! Mirage, reminds me of the time my horse slipped out of her bridle and started walking off like it was nothing XD And, my horse also "Talks to yours in here, but, to humans its horsey-talk haha "Nice to meet you! Both. Yeah, I know how the pressure is. I'm thinking about entering barrels, but, I just don't know..." I said as i cast a glance at Mirage "That's a gorgeous mare you have there" I said, smiling as the mare looked at Jazz, and Jazz was looking back with curiosity "Ah, Jazz, you better be nice to this lovely lady" I laughed, then noticed how the said 'Lady' untied her rope and walked over to Jazz, I laughed and looked at Bella "Looks like you have a very smart and sneaky horse there! " I said as I gave Mirage an eyebrow "Now, are you bein a bad girl?" I jokingly said, laughing
Jazz looked at the mare with interest, noticing how she pulled her lead rope and became untied, he wondered, even though he'd never do it, he didn't like to get in trouble As she walked over to him, he cocked his head to the side, then noticed the dragging rope. "Be careful not to step on that" He warned her with a small nicker, then he looked at her face...

And here's one of Mirage: Jazz is a lovely boy! O.O "With her I'm thinking of a quick halter show followed by a western pleasure. I don't want to overload her on her first time out." She grabbed the leadrope before Mirage could step on it. "Yeah, she's a genius, but I wish that she used her brain for productive things, versus just being a joker!" She ran her fingers through the mare's mane. "Although, I'm not really sure how many "productive" things she could actually do."
Mirage nipped Bella on the shoulder to demonstrate her displeasure of being caught. "I don't know why she worries so much. If I'm smart enough to get it untied then I'm smart enough to not step on it like a dimwit!" She began to dance about, trying to get free. Bella let her go. There wasn't much use holding her in anyways. Though motherhood had calmed her down for a while, the highspirited horse that she had imported from the desert herself still showed.

Just a reminder but image sizes still apply all over the forum. Any images exceeding 800px must be resized (Danielle, it seems to be only your image).

lol RP time "Ahh, looks like someone could use some time in a roundpen, haha" I said as I gently pet the mare's nose. "That's a good idea, I'm just trying to get Jazz ready for the show season, I do a little bit of barrel racing, but not much" I noted to her. Jazz was more of a personal horse, rather than a competitor.
Jazz looked at Danielle with innocent eyes "Cooome on, unhook me! Let me go play?"
I looked over at my horse, who was starting my down with foaly-horse eyes (haha) "No, Jazz, you're all tacked up, and we've got to warm up!" I said, and on another thought, I walked towards his head "So, Bella, would you like to warm up with me? I just do simple circles, nothing too extreme" I said, laughing as I took off Jazz's halter
"Why doesn't she understand? There's so many horses, I wanna go play... " Jazz thought, his halter unbuckled, and he thought about running, but decided he didn't want to get in trouble. Although, he would be able to mee- The bit was brought to his mouth and put in. "Ugh, nasty thing" He thought as he chomped on it a little bit.
"Sorry, he's just 3 1/2, so as you can tell, he's still learning that bits are a part of his normal life." I apologized, my horse probably looked odd chomping away at the bit. I pet his neck and soothed him "You're fine big man, easy now" I smiled as Jazz calmed down. "Good Boy" I said, then turned back to Bella "If you wanna come with me, I'll wait till you're ready" I offered
