Description

_{After healing quite well, it was time to get Marzipan back into work. But who was going to ride her now? With Sarah still not over her injuries and the trauma, she was unwilling to get back in a saddle. Which meant that the young mare wouldn't be ridden anymore and she'd go to waste.

It was then that Sarah's little daughter had the bold idea to try and ride her. If she could get Marzipan used to a saddle again and gain her trust, then they could work together again. But Delaine had too much hope for a first ride....Marzipan kept rejecting the bit, bucking whenever she tried to get the saddle on her and spooking away from the mounting block.

Finally after about two hours of this endless cycle, Delaine was finally on Marzipan's back and Alex was in the ring with her. He knew this was going to go bad, but the little determined eight year old wasn't going to have no for an answer. stubborn like her mother really.

She got her to walk round just fine, few head toss' and ignoring some aids but Marzipan was doing okay. Trotting. Not so much. She had to canter the wild mare round before she would decide, yep. Trotting. Delaine groaned loudly, taking her forwards towards a small jump set up. Marzipan headed eagerly towards it before stopping short and rearing back, letting Delaine fall onto the floor and galloped around the ring, trying to desperately find a way out.

Alex ran over to the small girl and she simply stood up, shrugged herself off and headed towards Marzipan who of course, ran away from the small child.

"Delaine, I think you should leave it today." Alex said firmly, grabbing the small child's shoulder. "Go spend time with Babe. She'll enjoy your company." He smiled and Delaine stormed off.

Alex managed to calm down the mare before gently rubbing her head, muttering under his breath. "....Marzipan you really need to get used to her...She'll be your only chance left....She's just like your rider y'know. It'll all work out..." He mumbled, as if the mare could understand what he meant but her bright blue eyes just stared back into his deep blue ones.

------------------------

This was made quite some time ago before the fire explosion. so this is concerning Marzipan's future. I'm having the hardest time of my life, whether to sell my obertaurers or not.}
