Description Uhhh can you tell I’m in love with this horse?

story:
Eden’s new mare had recently arrived.
The plain bay mare was grazing out in her small paddock attached to her stall, settling easily and given a few days of rest from being transferred from Australia.
Now, the quietest horse in the barn, and a new barn favorite, everyone had high hopes for her when Eden stepped into the evening lesson, leading the beautiful horse in behind her. The young girl, who typically seemed irritated and frustrated with empty eyes and a look that made anyone wonder if the girl was every truly happy, was now smiling softly, looking at the new horse happily. She needed to whipped back into shape but that was no problem, she was the only horse Eden was able to compete since Vassili had recently had a surprise pregnancy forcing eden to put her on break until she had the foal. Only a few months left, but Eden needed another horse for the show season.
“Eden you may go ahead and start getting her warmed up, we will keep the jumps small for you and Junee. And take her boots off, she is solid enough that I don’t worry about her getting hurt. She will make a nice hunter..” Mrs.Belle spoke as her and a stablehand, Drake, set up some jumps.
“Got it..” Eden called back, not giving the woman lip since,
the older women was the one to help Eden get the mare, and
She was the trainer.
Eden slipped off the boots, setting them aside, and climbing up into the saddle of the horse. Being a couple inches shorter to the ground was definitely one of Eden’s favorite attributes of the mare. She was now one of the smallest horses on the farm, the rest seemed to be at least sixteen plus hands.
She got up into the custom built saddle, shifting around and getting herself comfortable in it.
“You know, once she is back in shape you won’t even need a pad.. it fits her so well and she is comfortable in it…” Mrs. Belle remarks, making Eden smile.
“I’m too lazy, I’ll have to put so much more effort into keeping it clean.”
“Where is Ryker? And Lola and Archer?” She asks, Eden rolls her eyes.
“Ryker will be out soon, as for Lola and Archer, they weren’t able to come. I told you that already” Eden remarked, picking up a nice trot with the horse. She loosened her rein, letting her stretch down rather than being all collected up. She still moved nicely, a beautiful stretched out trot, her head level with her shoulders.
They went on for a while, eventually being collected up, picking up a canter and moving along both ways. As Ryker came into the arena the male whistled, causing his sister to roll her eyes.
“Eddie, I may have to steal your horse.” He called to Eden.
“You have Dundee, not happening..” she called back, laughing quietly.
“Ryker get your ass in the saddle,” Mrs. Belle groaned,
“Oh yes auntie, right after I get done complaining to you about how you still have yet to get me a horse like Eddie’s” he grinned, causing his aunt to throw a hand up dramatically.
“You have two perfectly fine animals. Eden only has one. ALSO, you both have Cricket. It’s even now.” She rolled her eyes.
Ryker got up into the saddle, putting his helmet on quickly he picked up a trot, moving to the rail but at the same time only using half of the arena.
“Eddie, go ahead and take this crossrail” Mrs. Belle calls, pointing to a cross rail that could only hit about two feet at the center.
Eden didn’t complain, pointing her mare towards the jump and feeling the mare gather herself from two strides out.
Eden gripped the saddle, releasing. She didn’t look pretty, the mare took off too early but she quickly realized why when the mare curved over the jump, going above the standards.
Laughing came from across the arena, Ryker grinning stupidly.
Eden landed, shaking her head but she couldn’t help but grin.
“Grand Prix prospect?” She asks as she cantered past Mrs. Belle.
“Maybe in a year,” Mrs. Belle rolls her eyes.
