This story initially started as a chapter within my series 'Messy Riding Lessons', however I felt it was a story which more people may enjoy as it is a little less extreme than some of what my characters have to endure! Therefore, I have created it as a stand-alone story, I do hope you enjoy it.

Sarah slept soundly. She was 19 years old with messy brunette hair and a lithe body formed from many years riding and working with horses. She had become Hilary's groom three years previously, straight out of school and excited to be working for one of the UK's leading event riders. What started as a purely working relationship had slipped into something more as the powerful equestrian stole her heart and desires. Now as much as looking after her horses she was her willing slave, the plain steel collar worn around her neck, the engraving stating that she was under Hilary's protection. There was not a day or night that went by when she did not feel the weight of the steel and be reassured that, whatever happened Hilary would be there for her.
Clare had joined the team just six months before, she had been a livery customer who had lessons with Hilary that had been up to the faithful night when she had been found by Hilary in the tack room late at night, Clare had been bound up by her own hand and had become an unpaid groom, slave and lover to Hilary. There was no jealousy, this was a perfect relationship and Sarah loved Clare and shared a close friendship. The money which Clare brought in from some app she had developed in her past ensured that they could work and play to the limits of their dreams.

I woke with a start, glancing at the clock I could see I was late but there was a note sitting on my bedside table. I picked it up and unfolded it, reading the familiar handwriting.
Hello Sarah,
You looked tired so I've let you sleep, I'll do your horse's so please sleep and relax, come to the yard when you are ready.
Love
Clare

I smiled, I had been exhausted but now felt fully rested, I got out of bed and pulled on a clean pair of white jodhpurs and a white blouse, finishing off my look with a pair of shiny black leather riding boots. I caught a sight of myself in the mirror and whistled under my breath, 'wow... looking good', it was a silly thought and I laughed at the notion.

The stable yard was quiet, I looked around the horses were hanging their heads over stable doors the sun was warm and the sky a clear blue. It was a dreamily perfect day. There was a movement behind me, hands closed over my eyes.
"Guess who?" I smiled, it was Clare, I could feel her breasts pressing softly into my back.
"Hello Clare!"
