I was at the stable and I had two lessons. Except I was at Willow Creek, not Reschburl. For my first lesson, I was on a blue horse, even his hooves were slightly blue. Redge and I talked about his blue-ness and she said she didn’t know where it came from. There were lots of other girls in the stable, too. Aside from the fact that it was Willow Creek and not Reschburl, I had my blue horse cross-tied next to what would’ve been Nick’s stall, which is where Cathy’s grain bins were.
I put my horse away and waited to see what horse I would ride next. I went into the arena, which was an amalgamation of Reschburl and Willow Creek. There was a girl having a private lesson there, with members of her family in the arena. There was a small X set up in the middle of the arena and trotting poles to the right side. The family was standing by the trotting poles. This giant beautiful horse was racing around the arena, completely impractical, and jumping this tiny X like it was a 6′ jump. The girl on his back didn’t have a helmet on, which I thought was odd, since Redge has the rules posted about wearing your helmet. I asked who I was going to ride next, and Redge asked if I wanted to ride this beast, and I laughed. She said maybe not, and I said I would try it. She told me to wait a few minutes, until she was done the lesson. It was getting close to 10pm at this point.
I went into the viewing room, which was the viewing room from Willow Creek, not Reschburl. All of a sudden, all these soldiers in uniform started coming down the stairs from the attic. I remember thinking that I was very poorly dressed, as all these soldiers piled into the room. They were younger guys, and I think that Redge was boarding them or something, I’m not sure. A few of them sat with me, but I think it was because they were tired, and I was soft to lean on.
Then they went up in some sort of slip’n'slide aircraft thingy. It looked like a magic carpet, but it was some sort of ride that was towed behind a plane / boat. I don’t know. All the soldiers went with Redge, but I didn’t go. She asked if we could reschedule my lesson, since it was kind of late by this point. I said that was okay with me. When the soldiers came back down from the airfield, I was waiting there in the boat for them (boat??). There was one who came over to talk to me, he had spiky blond hair and a round face
