Story:


The WS Elite Dressage Show was over months ago. The snow had come, left and come again as it always did in the winter. The snow had been so merciless it had left the riding arena unusable most of the time, unless you felt like shoveling 20x40m2 of 2 meter high snow. Caroline had used the riding arena of the nearby riding school as much as she could, but it took a lot of time and extra energy to get Benji on the trailer each time they wanted to get a proper workout. So instead she had lounged him in the stallions’ barn and let him run in the snow covered pastures as much as she could. They had worked their asses off this season to get him to where he was, and they had gotten a long way, but she was afraid a lot of that work would be lost this winter if the weather kept up the way it was now.

She was leaning against the fence around the riding arena. The snow had melted away the last week, and it was now just a gentle layer on the ground. It was 8 in the morning and the sun was just rising over the mountains. Benji and Brun was running around, fighting friendly with each other before cantering and bucking around again. Caro smiled silently as she watched them. The sunrise made their coats shine beautifully, and for a moment she just felt the happiness of having those two horses here.

She had been incredibly excited when she got to know Benjis son would come to the stable. She hadn’t talked about it with Alva yet, but she would really like to be the one to start training him and starting him when the show season started. She didn’t think Alva would mind, she seemed to be more into endurance or just trail rides than show jumping or dressage, and she was sure Zoey wouldn’t want an extra horse to work with. She had gotten the vibes from her lately that she wanted to leave, that she wasn’t happy here. Now they were both were both away on White December, but when she got back she hopes to have a conversation with Alva about the future of these horses.
