Description
Mal's entry for *angry-horse-for-life's WBS Quality In Colour show (halter class).
On Tuesday evening LPPS received a visitor. A young woman from the city wandered around the farm looking for someone to chat to. She walked passed the stallion paddock dotted with several large, colourful horses. Mal, the black overo, was nibbling on some grass by the fence. The woman approached him and gave him a little pat on the shoulder. Mal pulled his head up and inspected her hand for treats before returning to the grass. She giggled.
Cheesey had watched the encounter from the barn door and called the woman over. She introduced herself as Carla Muhammad, a make-up stylist from Melbourne looking for a new job involving horses. Cheesey asked what past experience she had with horses and aside from riding lessons as a teenager, she hadn't had much. Cheesey was hesitant but she really did need more hands on the farm. She proposed a trial period, a month of being taught the basics and doing the shittiest jobs. Carla took the opportunity with much enthusiasm.
A month passed by. Jo took Carla under her wing and helped her with the horses. Carla took a shine to Mal and when Cheesey mentioned he was to be shown at the WBS show Carla put her hand up to be his handler. Cheesey thought she was still green but couldn't deny this would be a great learning opportunity for her. She sent her down with Jessica as backup, just in case something went wrong.
The young stallion was on his best behaviour before the show started. He could sense Carla's nerves but didn't pay much attention to them. All he had to do was walk/trot/canter around the arena and stand pretty while the judges judged him. He had this in the bag. Carla led the stallion out into the sandy arena and the two ran/trotted around with ease. After a few cycles Carla's nerves eased up and once the show was over the two left feeling excited and Carla was completely ready to dive into a career with horses full time.
not gonna lie, creating a black staff member was totally inspired, if not stolen, from *CSStables
Edit: Placed 1st and Judge's Choice!!
