Lacey walked to the barn door and looked around. It was 6:30 in the morning, she was the early bird of the 3 girls and 1 mean girl. She opened the door and walked to Black Dawn a competition race and barrel race horse. He was good at jumping also he had seventeen ribbons of jumping and racing. Lacey went in the stall and got the brush, she started grooming Black Dawn, later on Stephanie walked in leading her horse Buttercup another boy horse into the stall. "Hi Steph." Lacey said to Stephanie who she liked to call Steph. "Hello Lacey." Stephanie said putting Buttercup's halter on the hanger. Lacey tacked up Black Dawn and took him outside to the practice ring she mounted him and got to the first jump. Black Dawn got into his jumping position and jumped the fence in a swift like way without missing a high pole. "Good boy!" Lacey praised to him and Black nickered happily.

 

He trotted out of the ring after a treat and jumping all the jumps, soon it would be the Great Barrel Race at Water Field Farm. Stephanie dismounted Buttercup after riding him around the barrels at a slow pace. Lacey mounted Black again and galloped around the barrels and he stopped suddenly "Black go boy go!" commanded Lacey and she saw her dog "Go on Bubbles!" she yelled to her dog and she ran back to the house. Black went on happily and sweetly he acted like he was Biscuit a happy and nippy horse. Black pranced around in the field thinking he was a dressage horse, Lacey giggled. She ran to the fence of the field to watch closer, Black was gorgeous with his black sleek coat and mane and tail. Stephanie watched Black when she dismounted  Buttercup she said to Lacey "Time to eat!" Lacey heard and went to have lunch. Today's lunch was pizza and soda, well sprite,

their favorite drink of course!

 

After lunch the girls went to ride their horses, but they were gone. "Mom where is Black Dawn and Buttercup?" yelled Lacey, no answer she yelled again. Still no answer. "Black Dawn and Buttercup were in the stalls!" Stephanie said from the barn "Oh haha!" giggled Lacey. Lacey ran into the barn and hugged Black Dawn, he loved that. Lacey looked over him to make sure he wasn't hurt or anything, he was fine. "Well, Steph want to go for a walk to the Water Field Farm?" asked Lacey suggestingly "I think we should take the horses too." answered Stephanie. So the girls put the horses in the trailer and went to the Water Field Farm. By the time they got there the horses were prancing around like little foals, it was cute. They tacked them up and Lacey went first galloping around the barrels, then Stephanie went. Soon Clara arrived at the farm "Hey Clara!" the girls chimed out sweetly. "Hi guys." responded Clara with Spirit charging towards Black Dawn, they were good horse friends.

 

 

Clara rode Spirit around the barrels, but Spirit didn't want to. He bucked and kicked at whatever was in his way. "No Spirit! Bad!" yelled Clara and Stephanie looked at Lacey. Stephanie had the thought in her mind but didn't speak, she was nervous for Clara to hear. Soon Clara finished going around the barrels and they went home. Stephanie spent the night at Lacey's house again today. Lacey put her hair in a way she saw on a website it was cute "Nice!" said Stephanie "Thanks Steph." answered Lacey. Then a knock on the door startled Lacey, she ran to the door and opened it. "Oh it's you Macy." grunted Lacey "What is wrong with you?" Macy rudely said making herself enter without permission. Bubbles growled madly at Macy. "Hahaha!" laughed Stephanie. "Ahhhhhh!" screamed Macy and she ran out the door. That was Bubble's trick to growl madly like a rabid dog.

 

They went to Lacey's room and Stacey, Lacey's twin sister was in there. "Get out!" screamed Lacey sarcastically. She pointed at the entrance to her door and Stacey left. Stephanie went to put her things down on the floor and took out her new purple laptop "Wow!" what a cool laptop, pretty, nice color exclaimed Lacey without sounding envious, Stephanie was pleased by Lacey's comment.

 

Soon it was dinner time, Lacey's favorite time of the day besides desert. Then desert came it was ice cream with whipped cream "Yum!" said Lacey. They both ate it all and went to Lacey's room and played on the Wii sports, Lacey did tennis and Stephanie did bowling. "Girls we are going to the store! Lacey and Stephanie would you like fake fingernails and fingernail polish?" "Ok mom!" said Lacey knowing Stephanie wanted them both. The parents left and Lacey and Stephanie ate brownies, cookies, and ice cream. "This is good!" exclaimed Stephanie. "I know right?" said Lacey. So the girls went out and rode their horses along the hill in Lacey's yard. Black Dawn jumped the fence and so did Buttercup
