That was the final straw for Toast, he started to buck continuously.

"I'm gonna take her back." Beth said as Gypsy struck out at the air with her forelegs. "There's no stopping her when she's like this." Beth said, then returned to trying to calm Gypsy.

Sam nodded.
"Okay, we'll carry on, and meet back at the stables? Or wait for you?"

"Go ahead, the only thing I can do with her is school her, meet you back at the barn." Beth said, firmly turning Gypsy back and trotting away, the mare throwing tantrums and bucking every now and again as she didn't want to leave her new friends so soon.

Sam nodded.
"Want to swap mate?" He asked Tom, who shook his head.
"I like Lilly." He replied. Sam laughing knowingly and got Toast back into a fast trot.

Beth arrived back at the barn and took Gypsy in the indoor arena, knowing she wouldn't be interrupted there. Gypsy was wet with sweat but there was no way she could dismount when she'd behaved like that today, it was a sign of defeat/recognition the horse had done well to dismount. If she did, then Gypsy would behave like this more often. Beth pushed the feisty mare forward into a trot and firmly told her that the mounting block was not going to eat her as they rode past it.

Sam and Tom finished the ride after another hour and a half. They returned to the barn, groomed and untacked their horses before returning them to the field. Thats when Gina showed up. She parked the car and got out before locking it.
"Hey guys." She said, walking over and hugging Sam and kissing Tom on the cheek.

Beth finished tacking up King and left the cross-tie's, looking round for Sam.

"Hi!" They said in unison. "Is that the guy?" Gina asked, looking over Beth's shoulder.

"Sure, no problem." Beth said and went to the tack room where she picked up one of the many velvet riding helmets from the wall and took it back to Gina.

Gina tried it on. It fitted.
"Thanks." Gina said, as she mounted. "What are his dicisplines?" She asked from the mount.

"Hunter/Jumper, he was on our show team, he still can be if you buy him and want to be on the show team." Beth said, then realised she was babbling and stopped talking.

"Yep, follow me." Beth said and led the way to the Olympic-Sized indoor arena.

Beth walked in after King and shut the door and the gate that led to the watching area.
"Just try him on the flat for a bit and when he's warmed up have a bit of a jump."

Beth stopped walking, she looked taken aback and walked to the side of the ring to watch, suddenly feeling as though she didn't think much of Gina..
