[My eyes are sore and I have some home work for tomorrow which I haven't started. I also need to study for a math test and look at the other math tests that I failed. *Sigh* Maybe I'll post later?]

[Okay!]
Asher picked up the trot and listened as Mr Green barked out instructions. He picked the canter up in the corner and did his flying change, he changed the diagonal through X and extended his short. "Good, excellent!" Mr Green shouted out.
Asher smiled but concentrated on the stallion, he nor his horse enjoyed dressage. "Shall we try some jumps?" Mr Green asked. Toto snorted and Asher nodded his head. He moved to the jumping arena which had a jumping course. "The course for the show will be similar to this one." he said.
Asher nodded and picked up his canter after learning the course. He slowed his horse down to th first jump and jumped it with ease. He continued jumping and smiled at success after the last jump.
"Good Asher. I'll sign you up when I get back to the stables and send you your classes." Asher thanked him before leading his horse to the stables and un-tacking and putting his horse in the stall.
He walked back to the dorm and greeted Xavier as he entered. He switched on his laptop and opened his email to already see a message. His classes started at 80cm and stopped at 1m. Thought the day he was doing 3 jumping courses, 80cm, 90cm and 1m acumulator. A dressage test and 2 equation classes.
His classes were space out the two whole day so his horse wouldn't get too tired.

[Flying changes!!! :D]
Xavier had to admit, Asher was more experience than him - he had always struggled with his flying changes. Whenever he did so, his inside leg was never in the correct position. Either that, or his hand position was off.
Instead of joining Asher, Xavier had decided to watch. He needed all the practise he could get if he wanted to win the competition. Distractions wouldn't be the best thing. Once his lesson was finished, Xavier walked back - with Asher - to their dorm. Asher seemed busy with some Email, so he just let him be and lay bach with an 'ump' on his bed.
[Wow. So short >_<]

Asher printed his classes and sat down on his bed with a pen. "I need to learn my dressage test and equitation and plan my two days. Give me a few minutes." he sighed as planned his day and learnt his equitation test. He would learn dressage test. He went through equation a couple times before planning his day. His first class was at 10, he would be at the stable at 8. So, he would need to be up at 6:30. Rather early than late. That was day one, he would plan day two tomorrow.

Xavier partially watched Asher. Really, he was still exceedingly tired. He always seemed to be, no matter how good his sleep was. Nonetheless, he managed to keep himself awake and wait for Asher.
"What do you want to do after you've sorted that out?" Xavier asked, stretching. He then sat up whilst deep in thought. What could they do?
[Sorry had to end there.]

Asher smiled before taking another sheet of paper and writing down his list.
Saturday:

(Arranged) 8:00 - Groom and tack up Toto. 9:00 - Meet Mr G (Arranged) at warm up arena. 10:00 - First class - 80cm. 11:00 - Second class - 90cm Jump off. 12:00 Third class - 1m accumulator. 13:00 - Prize Giving
Asher finished it off, "I just need to do another list quickly."
Sunday:
6:30 - Get up, shower, dress, eat and brush teeth and hair. 7:30 - Run through test with Mr G. (Arranged) 8:00 - Groom and tack up Toto. 9:00 - Meet Mr G (Arranged) at warm up arena. 10:00 - First class - 80cm equitation. 11:00 - Second class - Dressage 12:00 Third class - 1m equitation. 13:00 - Prize Giving
Asher placed it over his first sheet and smiled at Xavier, "Well, what could we do?" he asked. He got up and copied the sheets he had written and placed the first set on his pin board, the other set he would pin outside his stable.
[Shall we skip to Friday/Saturday?]

[Let me do a Friday evening.]
Asher had shut down his laptop and talked to Mr Green about the show. He had agreed with Asher's letter so Asher pinned it outside his stable and set his alarm for 6:30 am.
He had slid into bed with a book and put down his book for a second. "My first class is only at 10 am. If you forget just check my list." he said, pointing to the list. To pass some time he choose his outfit for tomorrow.
He took out his long, black shiny boots and white jodhpurs. He decided on a white button up t-shirt and a black tie with his black showing jacket.
The whole day, he had spent plaiting his horse's mane to perfection and he hoped the would stay in place. It was the first show of the season, but it would lead up to bigger shows. Which he does for fun.
He returned to his bed and switched off his light, making sure his alarm was set for 6:25 am. He fell asleep quickly.

[Sorry! Internet went down. Oki!
Xavier was barely awake, but grumbled his agreement to Asher anyway. Why did he have to wake up so early? Nonetheless, it didn't annoy him too much.
Xavier glanced at Asher. He was dressing into a very posh outfit - well, who could blame him? Without realizing it, he'd fallen asleep before he could say anything.
**
Later on, Xavier was riding Amethyst on the cross-country trail. It was the hardest one there, so he avoided any jumps he believed weren't necessary. Again the birds tweeted in their alarm. Eventually, it was time to go back. He went to the stables, untaxked his horse, shifted, flew to his dorm and shifted back. There he found Asher asleep, and he laughed.
[Soz shorter again!!]

[I'm gonna to Saturday morning now.]
Asher switched his alarm off so not to wake Xavier. He grabbed his clothes and switched on the bathroom light and shut the door quickly and quietly. He showered quickly and changed into his jodhpurs and pulled on his socks. He put on deodorant and pulled on his shirt. He pulled on sweatpants and hoodie so not to get his show clothes dirty.
He grabbed his helmet and boots and walked outside with those in his hands and his showing jacket. He pulled on his boots on outside and hurried to the cafeteria to eat quickly and ran up the stairs.
He walked into the bathroom silently and brushed his teeth and hair. He hurried outside and left for the stables. He got there and placed his things outside his stable, he checked over Toto to see he was fine with his plaits in.
He walked to the show area to see it starting to get busy. He met Mr Green and they walked the course quickly, "It's the same course, just different heights." he explained. Asher nodded, "Go tack up." Mr Green said.
Asher was on schedule so he groomed Toto to perfection and tacked him up. He put on the dark black bridle over the white earnet. He put on the white numnah and the black saddle and tightened the girth. He slipped on the martingale quickly, Toto could get strong in 1m jumping. He strapped on the white boots quickly and lead his horse outside.
He slipped off the sweats and put on the show jacket and helmet and mounted. He trotted over to the warm-up arena to see it with many horses and people inside. Mr Green was waited and smiled and helped him warm-up.
It was soon his class and he shook as he walked to the arena as it was his turn. He looked around for Xavier but couldn't see him. He wouldn't miss it and you know it. It would be really important if he had to miss it. Asher thought to himself.

Xavier groaned as he woke up - 10:07. Crap! He'd overslept! With no time to brush his hair, he slipped into some clothes, rushed some deodorant and sprinted to where Asher was getting his lesson. Luckily they were only finishing their warm-up.
Xavier watched intently, marvelling in the way Asher's horse strutted about in a professional way, and how Asher himself kept a calm, cool look.
When the warm-up was over, he looked on even more than before. He'd never been one to watch but boy; when it was a friend, it just seemed so fun. Especially when he could almost inspect how Asher was doing. So far, Davie couldn't spot a single mistake. Maybe there was, but he was just looking on in awe too much to really realize.
Xavier sighed when his stomach grumbled in complaint. He'd had no breakfast at all, so was pining for a good meal... More like deer. Again. Especially after he thought he'd gotten over the craving.
He tapped his foot impatiently, growling. What? He'd literally growled. He don't even manage to stop growling, either, so tried to shove a hand in his mouth to prevent the sound. Still didn't work. Xavier rushed off to the bathroom, splashing water on his face and calming himsslf down. Once done, he put on a smile and walked back out to watch Asher, letting his riding distract him from it.
