Piaffes, pirouettes, and pucks

sorry I had to repost as I spotted some errors and some of the chapter was missing.

Elle
I woke up in the morning feeling fresh, it’s one of the reasons I love Sundays. I just get a relaxing feeling. I walked down stairs and into the kitchen making myself a protein shake. It was 10, am ahhhh lie ins I said to myself. I drank my protein shake and walked back upstairs to get changed, I had a shower last night so I changed into some navy breeches and a navy stretchy top. I pulled my socks on and tied my blonde hair up in a ponytail. Making my way back down the stairs I thought about who Veronique would be brining Estelle to her lesson. I put on my tall ariat riding boots and zipped them up, then opening the front door and stepping outside.

I made my way to the stables, no one was here yet as the girls don’t arrive until 12 on Sundays, I started doing some of the cleaning and jobs that needed to be done. I went to see Sisu first I put on a light weight rug and fly mask and took him outside to one of the fields. I walked back to the stables and started mucking out the stables, a few other horses got put in the field too. I usually put the horse in the field especially Sisu since he’s a raging lunatic, I have fallen off him so many times and I have even had a couple of concussions. I finished cleaning the stables in about an hour so I walked to the office and make myself some tea. I boot up my computer and respond to some emails while waiting for the water to boil. I see an email about some upcoming competitions I could enter with Sisu or beauty. the water finished boiling and I made the tea and grabbed some biscuits. “heyy” I heard someone say which made me fall out of my chair.
“Thanks Mia” I said from my position on the floor as she was laughing at me.
“So how many lessons have we got today” she asked
“Only one they should be here soon actually so we should tack up sparkle first”
“Would you like me to do it”
“Nah it’s okay I can do it you just check waters and give the horses some lunch”
“Great sounds like a plan”
I went back down to where the stables are and walked to sparkles stall, I opened the door. Sparkle was just munching away on some hay, typical pony I thought to myself. I gave her a quick brush and went to go and get her tack. I put her bridle on first then her saddle I tied sparkle up and then Veronique arrived with marc and omg holy shit Sidney Crosby. I tried to not look like a fan girl. “Hi” Veronique said with a smile on her face
“Hey Veronique, how are you”
“I’m good Estelle is very excited”
“Where is she” at that point she came running in with one of the other girls that helps here Hannah, she didn’t look to happy I have kind of noticed that with her and how she does barely nothing, I might have to have a word with her.
“Hey Estelle” I said as she came running up to me and hugging my legs
“Bonjour” she said back in her cute kid voice after all her parents are French Canadian.
Veronique spoke up at that point “oh I forgot to introduce you to Sidney, Elle this is Sidney”
“Hello you can call me Sid” he said has he shook my hand
“Nice to meet you Sid, okay Estelle let’s get on” we took Estelle to the mounting block and I helped her get on.
“okay let’s go into the indoor school” We repeated some of the stuff she learned the day before and introducing some new things like circles. I kept feeling like someone was staring at me while teaching the lesson. Out the corner of my eye I noticed it was Sid looking at me, shit he noticed that I was looking at him, haha he’s turned his head and his face has gone a light shade of red.

We finished up the lesson and me along with Estelle took sparkle back to the stable. Marc and Sid went to the car and Veronique stayed with Estelle to talk to me while we un-tacked.
“I think Sid likes you” she told me. I laughed at her
“He doesn’t like me plus there is a 12-year age gap between us”
“Age is just a number besides he needs someone in his life like you, other girls he’s dated just want him for money and fame where as you are a professional athlete just like him”
“It would be weird though”
“No it won’t be, at least just promise me if he asks you out don’t turn him down, oh and why don’t you come for dinner tomorrow”
“Fine I’ll come just message me your address” I responded
“Great oh and Sid will be there too” Veronique said as she walked out of the barn with Estelle. Great looks like I’m going to Vero’s house and Sid will be there.
