"MELODY. Inhaleeee...Exhaleeee...and repeat." Riley was at her best friends side as Melody sat on her anxious bay mare. Melody tried to take her advice but her lungs were not in the mood to work.

"I-I'll be fine Ri, I just need to warm up a bit and relax..."

That was a joke. It started POURING down rain and Dutchess was not having it. The pair sat in the indoor arena, patiently awaiting for their turn. Dutchess twitched her ears back and forth and Melody sat on a bleacher, reins in hand. Dutchess let out a nicker as she saw her best friend, Kiss, enter the warm up ring with Riley on her back. The two said a quick hi to each other and then it was game time for Dutchess.

Melody found the nearest step stool and hoped on the big sweaty mare. She gathered up the reins and took a deep breath and pressed Dutch forward. She could hear Riley shout "GOOD LUCK MELODY!! REMEMBER TO BREATHE!!" Melody rolled her eyes and gave her a sarcastic thumbs up as she exited the arena into...

Clouds. Lots of clouds and fog. She had a mini celebration in her head, thankful for no rain, as she walked into the fog. She saw entrants walking away from the ring, dripping wet along with their horses. The expressions on their faces weren't too thrilled. She shook her bad thoughts out of her head and headed into the ring. She hoped the judges were going to be able to see her through this fog! As soon as she entered the ring, the fog cleared up a bit and she was able to see 10 feet infront of her, finally. She continued on with the routine, a bit more confident.
