Story; ( 702 words )

Puff had been in quarentine for a couple weeks now, today was the day to pick her up and haul her off to Jefferson, Colorado. Amber has been in America for most of this year competing, and the futurity was the second last show in American for this year. Amber arrived at the quarentine stable and sorted out all the paperwork for Puff to be released. The little grulla filly was lead out by a member of the stable and handed to Amber, " Thank you! ", Amber said as she took the lead rope, walking Puff up onto the trailer and securing her to a tie point. She shut the trailer door, latched it and made sure it was secure and jumped back into the hire car. Amber took off slow and made her way onto the highway and started the journey to Colorado.

Amber calculated that the drive would be roughly 10 hours to get to the Jefferson Country Fairgrounds, so she decided to stop every 2 hours just to make sure Puff was handling the long haul alright. The filly seemed to be travelling really well, she stood quietly in the trailer, seeminly happy even though she was travelling by herself. Every stop Amber made she checked the fillies heart rate, making sure she wasn't going to stress, but she seemed to be handling it just fine. Amber gave Puff a good scratch on the ear and continued the journey.

Amber and Puff finally arrived at the event center, Amber slowed right down and found a park, pulling in and getting out of the car. She opened the trailer door all the way open and untied Puff, leading her out of the trailer and started heading towards the stables. Amber stopped at the gate and asked for her stall number, giving the desk person the stable she was representing, her name and Puff's registered name. " Stall 26 " the lady said and pointed in it's general direction, Amber smiled, thanked her and lead Puff the direction she was told. The pair reached the stall, it was all nice and had already been filled with sawdust, Amber just had to get water and hay, she lead Puff into the stall and took her halter off, closing and latching the stable door as she exited. The filly immediately put her head down, sniffing the sawdust, then dropping down for a big roll. Amber smiled and walked off to retrieve a bucket from her car, filling it with water and returning to Puff. After filling up the stall's water Amber went back to the car and got 2 biscuits of hay, returned to Puff once again and popped the hay into the stall. Amber then went back to the car to sort out her gear and get settled into a hotel.

After everything was organised Amber headed to her hotel and went to bed. Before the sun was even up, Amber was already heading back to the event center. Upon arrival, Amber noticed there were already a few people here getting ready, she parked her car, got out and headed toward where Puff was stalled, glancing quickly at the stalled horses and the horses being prepped. She reached Puff's stall and was greeted by a whinny from the filly who was laying down, Puff got up and walked up to the door, nudging Amber knowing she had a treat for her. Amber giggled quietly at the filly and pulled a nerd rope out of her pocket and opened it up, offering it to Puff who all but inhaled it. After organising the competition gear, Amber got Puff out and washed her, tied her up to dry, then once dry she got started on brushing her, making sure her mane and tail were cut even and looked good. After puff was all but ready to go, Amber quickly changed into her competition shirt, then changed Puffs halter to a leather show halter. Not long after finishing up prepping, the futurity started, announcing over speaker that the youngstock halter was to be in the arena in 15 minutes. Amber gave Puff one last go over and started to lead her toward the arena.
