"Damn it! Just our luck, isn't it Kiss?" Helene mumbled to her favorite stallion as she trotted him up to the entrance of the arena. "Let's just hope that the rain from this past week doesn't cause the mud to drag your lovely long legs down! God knows we need all the extra help we can get," she sighed as the took a look back at their competition in the warmup arena. "Dinglalingalinggg!" The bell rang, and Kiss was urged into the arena in his famous active trot.
.....
Well done indeed. Helene couldn't help but show a big smile and give Kiss a continuation well deserved pats and strokes as the sun started to shine through again. This was one of his best performances ever. Ever. Who knows what it was that gave him that extra kick? It was almost as if he know that he was representing Hardy Stud with this one dressage test. And I'm pretty sure that competing at familiar grounds didn't hurt, especially with all the lovely visiting mares walking around. Haha!
