Imperial Winter Dressage 2022

Previously

It had been such a long time since Kei stepped foot on Imperial grounds. How long had it been? She could not remember. 1 year? 2? She had totally lost count as she walked around with RD's Lascia Ch'io Pianga

in the snowy landscape. The plan was to have Lascia's debut here during the Imperial Winter Dressage. But as Kei was walking around with the young Lascivio daughter, she could not overcome this little feeling of unready-ness. Were they ready for a debut together? Training had went well, as well as it could have been. But still there was this strange feeling.

"Either you're freezing, or you've seen a ghost," Annabelle was observing Kei as she was helping her before the class started at the warmup. "There are sure to be many ghosts here at Imperials, so I don't blame you." Annabelle was living here part time with her fiance William, so she might have seen a thing or two which was quite out of the ordinary. Like possible ghosts?
"No," said Kei smiling a short unsure smile at Annabelle. "It is not ghosts". Might not have been a real ghost. But maybe it was a brain ghost? Annabelle was a huge inspiration and role model for Kei. Annabelle was tough and straight forward, and she was always understanding and supportive (once you overcome her sarcastic and possibly overly flirty facade).
"I just don't feel like we are ready for this today," Kei said as she was pulling down one of the stirrups of the saddle.
"Not ready?" Annabelle looked at Kei. "If that is what you feel, Kei, then that's what you feel." She smiled at Kei in a reassuring way "Best to trust your gut feeling. And if that tells you not today, then it's not today".
Kei paused in her motion, looking at Annabelle. Her older friend was right. If it didn't feel right, then why rush it today?
"I'll go to the secretariat and announce I'll scratch our entry." Kei gave Annabelle Lascia's reins and headed to the secretariat.
"When you come back we'll go to a little secluded place, and I'll give you and Lascia a little private dressage lesson. You're here after all, might as well see this as a training experience for Lascia to be ridden at an unknown location".
Kei looked over her shoulder and gave Annabelle a smile, since she was right. They came here to compete, but since that didn't feel right today, they could atleast gain the experience to practice dressage at a new location. It would make Lascia good.

Oh my...
I am soooo behind! But yes, finally the reason why Kei never entered the ring.
And we have went from summer, to autumn to winter in my art! Very realistic xD
