Story :

FIRST | PREVIOUS | NEXT

Caelyne was highly concentrate. Her mare, Absolut, was totally focused too. The girls knew that they have been absent on show's grounds for months and that was too long in the stables-owner's head. Really too, too long. But hey, she have an estate to manage, employees, with their owns dreams of glory too. That's why she had prefered to increase their values of them despite of her. But this time, that was her. Only Nao and Eryn was with her. The boy was here to learn the basics of big shows organisation. After a quick warm-up, the time of walking the course has come. She let her reins to her groom-of-the-day, Nao, and goes to the show arena. The course was not too complicate in first sight. But after making the course twice, she could only noticed that it was much complicated than she imagine. A lot of options, a lot of shortcuts was possible to make the greatest time, but she knew that can make her lost some points if she isn't careful... Or if she let Absolut alone. She really had to focus. She walked the course few times more, beofre returning to her mare. In her way, she noticed Bennett and Tyler in a distance and smiled to them, with a little head shake. She'll certainly find the time to salute them better later. But now, she had to make a show. Her show. She arrived to the warm-up arena, where Eryn was walking, next to Nao and Absolut. The mare, seeing her owner, starting to slighlty neighing. Caelyne launch a warm look to her. She was her very favourite mare. So lovely. Eryn and Nao turn themselves to her.

"So ?" asked Nao. "How does it look, boss ?"

Caelyne looked at him with a strange expression.

"Boss ? Seriously ?" she sighted. "I don't like it, Nao. Call me Caelyne, or Cae, I don't care about it. But not "Boss" or anything like that, please." she said with a smile. She had always hated these kind of "management things". Even if she was a strict boss in reality, she would have prefered to only be a friend to them. That was, in some way.

"Sorry, Cae." Nao answered. "I never know how to behave myself with other people." He add with a embarassed smile.

Cutie boy, thought Eryn and Caelyne in the same time. Then, Caelyne shrug her shoulders.

"Well, to come back to the course, it's pretty... Hum... Well done by the course designer. It's simple... Only if you don't take the options. To make the better time, you'll be obliged to, and that can make me doing some faults." she said. Eryn looked at her.

"And ? Are you afraid about making faults ?" she ask.

Caelyne make a negative nod with her head. "Not afraid of making faults. Afraid of taking too hard options. D'you remember why I have stopped to ride in competition during three years ?"

Eryn nodded yes. But Nao launch an interrogative look to his boss. He have been hired in the stables for some weeks now and doesn't really know any of the personal stories of his mates. He was ready to ask what happened, but Eryn put her hand to his arm, stopping him in his move? The jumper girl knew that her friend will tell her story, anyway. Caelyne had seen the move of the boy and obviously decided to make a quick remember about it.

"Well, as you don't know for the moment, Nao, I'll explain fastly - time is running out and I have to be on the course in a short time -. Four years ago now, I had an accident during a show-jumping event. Me and my horse, fall after taking a too-short and hard option during the course. My horse doesn't seen the jump in time and make his jump too late and we fall. That's why I'm not afraid of faults, but of options on courses. I hate this kind of jumping courses. I think it can be dangerous."

Eryn was going to reassure her friend, but Nao doesn't let her the time to. Before she could say anything, the boy asked an indiscreet question.

"And what about your horse ?"

Caelyne smiled.

"He stay at the stables, but inactive, because I could not riding him after that, I was too afraid of. Later, another girl have started to ride him after me. But you know him, that's Hangover. Eryn have worked a lot with him -thanks to her- to make him confident again with jumping. That's one of the reason of his finesse."

Nao looks at her surprisely. That explain a lot of things, particularly why he had seen Caelyne take a good time with the stallion to pet him -she, Eryn and him was the only ones Hang allowed to pet him-, but that he never seen her ride him before, even if she was his owner. He nodded his head. He had all the answers of his interrogations now. He hand the reins of the quiet buckskin mare to her owner. Caelyne smiled, before starting to pet her beloved girl.

"And that's why I choose Absolut to start jumping again. She's the kind of mare that I know I could just close my eyes and let her carry me. That's not the case of Touchy for example, who need so much more training before arriving in high show-jumping level." she added. Eryn smile to her friend.

"Yep. And I'm pretty sure that, even if you take the options, Absolut can lead you to the win. She's a truly trusty mare." the blue-haired girl said.

"Without any doubt." add Nao. "Be confident. You know that you wouldn't do the same errors as in the past and so, we know that if you don't feel an option, you'll not take it."

"You're right." agreed Caelyne. She smiled on them. She was lucky to have friends like them. "Thank you, guys. I'm less afraid now. SO. I guess it's time for me to climb on my mare and try to win this show."

"Yup ! Let's go !" said Nao and Eryn together. The boy help Cae to climb on Absolut, who was totally zen, and then, Eryn and him take few seconds to look at her starting to make her last warm-up jumps before entering the show arena, before leading themselves to the public's area. They will see in few minutes if Caelyne finally vanquish her fears or not.
