'And I felt free to do what I want
because of the things you told me'
because of the things you told me'
izzy had been itching to get outside since she woke up at 5:30 this morning. her and chance had made plans to go riding but that wasn't until later and she was going crazy waiting for the minutes to pass. finally at 6:30, she made herself a pot of coffee and relaxed long enough to have a few cups before changing into her riding gear.
her dorm room was a mess, and izzy threw on the first pair of riding pants and a tank top she could find. She threw her hair up in a pony tail , grabbed her bag, and headed down to the barn.
lady had already been fed, so izzy decided to give her a bath while she was waiting for chance. hey baby girl, how are you today? izzy asked the mare who gave a snort as a reply. izzy grinned and led the horse outside by the hoses. lady perked right up when she saw where they were headed; she loved the water. as izzy sprayed her down, lady tossed her head with joy and began nickering, and trying to drink some of the water. you're such a silly horse! izzy exclaimed as she started to scrub her mares white coat.
when all the muck and grime was gone, and lady's coat was sparkling again, izzy lead her back into the barn and hooked her up to a set of crossties to finish grooming her and tack up for their ride. first she picked out her feet, then she curry combed her, and finally she went over the horse's coat with a soft brush and a rag. there we go, almost set... izzy muttered as she examined lady's long mane. wow, it really has been a while since i showed, izzy thought as she ran her fingers through the uneven hairs.
soon girl, soon... izzy said to the horse. she opened her tack trunk and began getting ready. first she wrapped lady's legs, then she put on her saddle and martingale, buckled up the girth, and struggled to get the snaffle bit into lady's mouth. when she finally took the bit, izzy finished buckling up the bridle and grabbed the reins, heading out to warm up as she waited for chance.
