"You have ten minutes if you want to watch Jill ride." I rubbed my eyes; he had disturbed me in the middle of a really good dream. I was trying to get my bearings; I was not a morning person. "For the last time do you want to watch or not?" His sternness commanded my attention.
"Yeah, just let me wake up first. I just cannot get up and get going. Give me a few minutes." I still was trying to get my brain functioning. "Don't I have a Doctor's appointment, today?"
"Yes, but it is not for another several hours."
"Alright, I will be there." I rolled over and pulled the covers over my head, and drifted back to sleep.
"We have to leave to go to the Doctor's in about twenty-minutes, you had better get up."
"Alright, I am up." I sat upright in the bed. The streaks of rain danced down the windows. "It's raining?"
"Yup, and it is supposed to continue all day. You want help into the shower?"
"Nope, I can manage all by myself." I hobbled over to the dresser, retrieving my cloths; Alex followed me into the bathroom. "Can't I have some privacy?"
"I was just going to help you wash your back." Alex had managed to get undressed and have the shower running by the time I finished undressing.
"I thought you said we had to hurry. You in the shower with me is not hurrying."
"You know we don't need to play around every chance we get, neither one of us has the sex-drive of a teenager." He quickly retorted. He could speak for himself; I had more "want" now, than when I was younger.
I stuck my tongue out at him...playfully, I thought. Crack on my ass. "Let me guess; I was being disrespectful?"
"Well, yes, but your ass was also saying 'smack me'." A broad smile lit up his face.
Standing in front of him, I bent over as if I was going to grab my ankles; instead, my hands came to rest a few feet above the floor on the wall of the shower. The warm water rolled off my back and down the crack of my ass. He grasped my hips and slowly pushed his now-erect cock into the crevice. "My sweet little filly, I wish we had time for this. I would love nothing more than to spread your cheeks and pump that tight ass of yours full of me, but we really don't have the time."
I pushed a little harder up against him. "See? I told you we could not take a shower together. I think we are still in the horny honeymoon phase."
I felt his cock press-up against my entrance. I stood-up. "Why did you stand up?"
"The blood was rushing to my head; besides no lube, no piece of my ass." I finished rinsing and left him there.
I said 'hi' real quick to Jill, as we left to go to the doctors. During the ride, Alex told me about the fabulous ride Jill had had, earlier with Matrix. I was really glad to hear that; as much as I loved Alex, I wanted to see Jill beat him. I personally thought that Matrix had more raw talent than Rubi. Besides, Jill had not circumnavigated the globe to find Matrix. I had my heart set on seeing our sport dominated by American-bred horses. I knew Alex would try to get me to ride some huge warmblood that was imported, but I was happy with an American Heinz 57.
Thinking about my next prospect, I had taken the time while I was really healing to start looking. I found a few draft/thoroughbred crosses that caught my attention.
"What has your mind so engaged?" Rubbing my leg, Alex snapped me out of my daydream.
"My next horse," I meekly replied.
"Your next horse. I was hoping we could take a European shopping tour. You know...spend a few days in Switzerland, then Holland, followed by Germany and finishing in Russia."
"Russia? I didn't know Russia was a horse Mecca. Besides, I don't want some huge warmblood. I want a horse just like Jezzy. You know where the bloodlines are in question, but the talent is there. A horse that doesn't have a chip on their shoulder because they have some 'L' Hanoverian bloodline. I don't want to spend a year's salary on a horse that someone else has started. I want all of the mistakes and success to be mine, and mine alone. Can you respect that?"
"I still think your next horse should be exactly what you don't want. I will humor you. Do you have any 'mutt' prospects?" He was mocking me. Oh, how dare him.
"Yes, I do. One is a Frisian, thoroughbred (TB) cross in Massachusetts and another one is a Clyde, TB cross in Vermont. Then there is a Hanoverian, TB cross near Rochester. All of them are under one year old and all of them are mares. The Frisian's price is a little high, but the mystical beauty of the breed has garnered my attention."
"So you won't go to Europe to find a horse, but only one horse you mentioned was an American 'mutt'. What is the bloodline of the Hanoverian? I thought you didn't want some huge warmblood. You know Clyde crosses can reach seventeen hands?"
"Yes, I know. I am happy in the fifteen-to-sixteen hand range. Something with substance, not a spindly thoroughbred, or a hot Arabian. I really want to look at the Frisian. Something in her eye caught my attention. Although, I do not know if I can spend seven grand on a horse. The Hanoverian was a 'W' line sire."
"I see. I just might have to look at this Hanoverian, for myself. Why don't you buy a few, we will start them, keep your next Grand Prix mount, and sell the rest." He was dead, flat serious.
"Wait a minute. You are willing to buy three horses, sight unseen, because they might be a possibility. Are you crazy?" I hoped this was not his way to make me happy. I think I spent a little over a grand on Jezzy; now he was talking some serious dough.
"If it makes you happier, Jill and I both can look over the pictures you have. You did a great job selecting Jezzy. Any horse fundamentally started correctly will be of value. In Germany, all horses are trained to second level, then from there the horse is specialized—either jumping, polo, cross-country or any other discipline deemed appropriate. If we start three or five horses, and only two show Dressage potential, we still come out ahead. Besides, if I remember correctly, Jezzy's eyes caught your attention and not her conformation."
"If we are talking about eyes, it was your eyes that caught my attention. Not your conformation, which I might add is almost as spongy as mine. But I love you anyways." We both laughed. Moments like this, I just wish I could stay here with him, forever.
We arrived at the doctor's and Doc Meghan cut the cast off for the final time. My poor calf was small and flabby; she prescribed physical therapy for the next six to eight weeks, but I did not have to leave the farm. The nice PT lady was going to come out to the farm, in exchange for lessons. I was placed in a walking boot that could be taken off fairly easily.
We arrived back home and I was greeted by Jill who was getting ready to leave. "Where are you going?" I asked her
"I am going sightseeing this afternoon. No, actually I have a horse I am going to go and look at—a quarter-horse for my lesson program, nothing special. See you at dinner," she said, as she shut her door and drove off down the driveway.
"Did I hear her right, she was going to look at a quarter-horse? What in the world is she thinking?" Alex looked shell-shocked.
"Unlike you, the rest of us have to be money-conscious. Jill has a wide variety of horses she uses. They range from a blue-roan to an old barrel racer. Her object is to teach correct fundamentals, then worry about advancing. I would think you would understand that. After all, don't German schools require a new student to have a correct position before they are even given the reins? Hence, a student can spend a year on the lunge-line before they can ride alone." I have some issues with the German system; there are amazing riders who learned very differently and horses that were trained very differently.
"I am sensing some issues with the great German System. Care to explain?" He was acting like I was attacking him personally.
"No, I really do not care to get into a theory discussion with you. Just remember the French and Spanish have differing opinions from the German's. Every horse and rider are individuals, with their own unique ways of learning." Arguing about training theories could lead to a very intense argument that I was not interested in. Let time dictate my method differences versus his. Just because he was great does not mean he is always right.
