The horse's nostril's flared, declaring his exhaustion. His heart pounded so loud, the rider could feel it when she laid her hand on it's long neck.

"Just one more time," she whispered, straightening up in her saddle. Adjusting her feet in the stirrups, Yana kicked the horse twice, making him go straight into a collected canter. Circling around the tight arena, she faced the horse towards the 1.3m jump. The horse raised it's head, it's eyes wide and ears alert. His stride lengthened as he approached the jump. Yana's fingers tightened around the reins. Counting the last stride, she leaned forward out of her saddle as he took the leap... and landed safely back on the other side.

A single applause broke out from someone outside the arena. Yana pulled the horse down to a trot and circled around to find who it was.

"Kyona..." Yana smiled. Yana approached the beautiful girl. Flat stomach and curvy hips, she was a girl to die for.

"That was pretty impressive," Snow Kyo noted.

"He's getting there," Yana nodded, patting the chestnut gelding's neck. "Not to sound rude, but what are you doing here? It's like..." Yana checked the time on her watch, "Eight a.m."

"I couldn't sleep," Snow Kyo shrugged. She took hold of the lower rein and started scratching the horse behind his ear - his itch spot.

"Nervous?" Yana asked. Snow Kyo didn't reply. She didn't need to.

"Anyways, I came here to pick you up, we have to go to the recording studio early today. So take Benjamin back to his stable," Snow Kyo ordered.

"Don't you want come with?" Yana asked playfully.

"Hell no - with all that horse poo? No." Snow Kyo chuckled. "I'll wait for you in the car."

(Benjamin)
