{ Rolling in the Deep }

At the Dutch Dressage Festival at Green Apple Stables, somewhere near the Netherlands...

   It was time. Wren and Sol had out in the work together and now, with being at Bloodstone. Meeting Lei, Dareen, and Turik, she felt better than ever about how things were going with Sol. But there were definitely some kinks that needed to be ironed out. Maybe several.

  No big deal, as Turik implored, these things take time, effort, and consistency... and a lot of love.

  He would always chuckle the last part and act as if he was almost shy about it. When Wren found her thoughts wandering to Turik she quickly shook her head and continued with Sol's braids, the mare stood quietly next to her as if she were in her head through the whole thought process. The mare snorted, with a swoosh of her tail she was back to munching on her hay nonchalantly.

- | - ~ * ~ - | - + - | - ~ * ~ - | -

Within the hour they were both tacked, dressed, and ready to go. Wren made her way to the warmup ring, wishing for the best, prepared for anything. No expectations. After what felt like a breezy warmup Sol was seemingly chipper and responsive. Wren kept her mind focused as to not undo what felt like the start of something great as they waited for their round.

Soft and supple, breathe, and eyes up.

  Wren reminded herself as she waited, reciting the thought. When she was ushered in the momentum from their warmup followed them to the show ring, Sol's steps were landing light and her tail was happily swishing. All was well until they passed the Judge's booth.

It was evident something may occur as they neared the looming fortress of white and grey. Sol snorted tensely as they made their way by, but didn't spare it a glance. Whether is was something in the wind, or the particular sqwaking of a bird -- whatever it was, Soleas wasn't having ANY of it. She promptly used her canter transition for an improptu dance session, shamelessly showing everyone how agile and and flexible she is. Without those boring circles and lots and lots and lots of turning and transitions.
