It's been 3 weeks since I arrived at the stables in Germany and I loved my work here. I didn't need to muck out or put the horses out or any of that I only did the evening and morning round of food while the hay was hung up by Stef one of the other riders. The rest of the day I worked with the horses. We all had our own horses to work with which was nice as well. The morning came and at 7:30AM my alarm went off. I rubbed my eyes and climbed fout of my bed. I pulled on my black breeches and pulled on a light grey hoodie. On the front was the logo of the stable and on the back was a small text.

My name was the biggest on the back of the hoodie. The hoodie was soft and comfortable and pretty thin which was nice when riding a lot. I pulled on my black socks and skipped down the stairs off my apartment after pulling on my shoes. My hair was in a messy bun as I arrived at the stables. I pushed the big sliding doors open letting the day light hit the stables as horses started greeting me. I switched on the last lights that made everything a little more light. I walked to the feeding room and took the big cart out with one of the small bucket thingies. I pushed the cart passed all the stables giving the horses some muesli and sport chunk. All of them had different needs that stood on small boards at the stable. After I finished off I walked to my own small tack room where I had prepared Jazzy's food yesterday evening. She got different food from the rest as she didn't need the sport food anymore but more the food to keep her a little more chunky as an old horse. I whistled to her getting a soft greeting from the old mare. I smiled at the chestnut before placing the rubber bucket on the floor so she could eat her mash. I walked into my work tack room and looked into he white board I hung up. Time to get Rosa out for a ride. I hung up my tack at the grooming place and then walked to the crew room. I took my radio and earpiece out of the charger. I hung the small black cast on the right backside of my trousers on my black leather belt. I pulled the wire underneath my hoodie and pulled it out at the top hanging the transparant earpiece in my ear. I clipped the fluffy microphone on my hoodie so I could talk back and then started up my radio.

I pulled the messy bun out and made a low ponytail of it so it could fit better with my helmet. I placed the white mare called Rosa on the grooming place and groomed her.

Amanda: "Morning Ami."

The sound came thru my earpiece making me press the small button that was connected to the microphone on my hoodie.

Amelia: "morning Aman."

I released the pressure of the microphone and then went on with grooming Rosa. I placed on a jumping pad and then a jumping saddle. After I placed on my helmet and boots I placed Rosa her bridle in and leaded the mare to the outdoor show jumping arena. I really fell in love with this place it was absolutely a dream place to train and live. An indoor and outdoor jumping arena, an indoor and outdoor dressage arena, paddocks, meadows, beautiful stables... you name it everything was there. I loved it. After 45 minutes of training I was cooling down Rosa with a simple long reins walk.

Dina: "Amelia, Amelia."

Amelia: "go ahead Dina."

Dina: "there's a guy at the entrance claiming he knows you. Can we let him in or not? He sounds English to me..."

Amelia: "yes go ahead and let him in. I'm in the outdoor jumping arena."

Dina: "I'll let him know."

When I was done I jumped off and rolled my stirrups up. A pair of arms wrapped around my waist as I felt a kiss on my cheek. I turned my head and my eyes met with the pair of blue/green eyes I knew so well.

Amelia: "oh my god! Lando!"

Lando: "hey princess."

I wrapped my arms around his torso as he replaced his arms around my neck. A few tears fell from my eyes as I pecked Lando's lips softly. I rubbed the tears away and smiled at him.

Lando: "don't cry your gonna make me cry."

Helen: "dein freund und du bist süß." (Your boyfriend and you are cute)

Amelia: "schau mich nicht weiter an." (Stop looking at me.)

I released the button of my microphone as I stuck up my middle finger to the blonde Helen. I could see form here she smiled at us before walking away again. Lando pecked my lips one more time before we went to the grooming place.

Amelia: "why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Lando: "I wanted to surprise you."

Amelia: "thank you baby. I do have a competition today... I hope you don't mind?"

Lando: "of course I don't. I was kind of prepared for that to be honest. Which horse?"

Amelia: "one I haven't showed you yet as I wanted you to meet him in person."

Lando: "what's his name?"

Amelia: "Mclaren..."

Lando: "love him already."

I giggled softly as I tacked off. After riding 3 more horses Lando and I went upstairs. We had a quick lunch together before I changed into my white breeches, white show polo and then again my black socks and black leather belt. I walked back to the big room where the kitchen, dinning table and living where. I softly squeezed Lando's shoulders as he looked up with a smile. My sweatpants were still laying on the couch from yesterday's competition with Quince. I pulled them over my white breeches to make sure they staid white longer. I pulled on my grey stable jacket and then I pulled on my grey stable shoes and then went thru my closet searching for the dark blue show jacket with light blue and yellow velvet details with glitter. When I found it I closed the cover again that were over all my show jackets and took the jacket with me as well as my competition bun kit. Lando followed me outside as Nica had prepared McLaren for the show. She was the groom who always went with me to competitions which was lovely. I gave the big chestnut stallion a pet as I turned to Lando.

Amelia: "this is my McLaren."

Lando stood besides me and gave the 1.83 meter high stallion a pet on its neck as he let his hand glide over the back towards the butt taking in the horse.

Lando: "he's stunning..."

Amelia: "wait to you see him move. He has some amazing power movements. Almost feels like flying with him."

Lando: "would you buy him?"

Amelia: "I would love too but no. He has a high price and besides I have my own horses and my own training horses still. Well I sold Harley, Dublin, Magic and Atlas. So I now only have Ibsen for the sale and Marley for training... Quince, Sten and Jazzy as my own horses so I think I've got enough."

Lando: "I want a horse..."

Amelia: "your not even able to ride."

Lando: "I want to learn it. Maybe I'll buy McLaren and let you ride him whenever I'm not... which is gonna be most of the time."

Amelia: "horses need a lot of care and money Lan."

Lando: "we'll see."

I shook my head softly as Nica placed the travel boots and blanket on the chestnut stallion.  I walked to my own tack room and grabbed my black dressage boots and my black kep Italia. I placed them in the truck together with my show jacket as Lando was still standing at the grooming place fascinated by the stallion. I placed my bridle, saddle and saddlepad in the truck as wel before placing the white bandages and white bell boots in as last. When we were done Nica loaded McLaren on the silver company truck that had room for 2 horses. We climbed into the truck that had place for 3. Nica behind the wheel, me in the middle and Lando on the other side of me. I took a paper out with my test and took out an iPad form my bag. I placed all the letters of the arena on a white frame with black and then laid the paper down and tried to remember my test as good as possible. Then I took the paper and checked if it was right which it was. Not to long after I did it again we arrived.

Amelia: "show time baby."

Nica: "ready for your first Grand Prix together?"

Amelia: "definitely!"

Lando: "grand prix?"

Amelia: "highest level of dressage."

Lando nodded to me as Nica started racking up McLaren while I went to check myself in. After I did that Lando and I held hands as we walked back to the truck. I pulled off my sweatpants revealing my white breeches. I pulled on my boots with the small spurs and then made my competition bun.

After I did my bun I pulled on my helmet and then my dark blue long tail show jacket pulling my work coat over it as it was slightly cold. I pulled on my white riding gloves and then climbed on the stallion who was patiently waiting. When I sat I placed my feet in the stirrups and gave McLaren a small pet on his neck. I let him walk to the warm up arena and let him warm up with some simple and harder exercises. After a while Nica signed me out. She first wiped the dirty spots off my boots and off McLaren before we walked further.

Landonorris mentioned you in a story

After we stood still again Nica took off the bandages and bell boots off McLaren as Lando took my coat from me. He took my hand in his and softly squeezed it before placing a kiss on top of my white glove. He smiled at me widely.

Lando: "your gonna rock this."

Amelia: "thanks Lan."

He let go off my hand as I needed to get in. I picked up my reins again and let McLaren walk. Nica and Lando walked next to me. I asked the chestnut stallion to trot and he did so. I arrived in the arena and let the horse trot around the small white fences before really entering the arena. There were people here to watch on stands. The test went by fast and after I greeted for the last time I let the reins slide out of my hands and tightly hugged the stallion around its neck. I pointed up to the sky which became a standard thing after I finished a test. I looked at the score board waiting for my score. 77,6% I was at the top of the ranking for today! Holy shit! I was smiling from ear to ear as I let McLaren walk out of the arena.
