:We should do it more often:

What can be better than to have an early morning training with your best bud?

_____________________________________________

Finally at least one of the hot summer mornings turned out to be a little bit chillier than others and there was an opportunity to have a workout at the outdoor arena without having a sunstroke. Andreas and Max, two best friends, whom everyone else had already used to see together all of the time, took this chance. Moreover, surprisingly, there wasn’t as much of other riders this Saturday.

Having saddled Lovestruck and Nightmare by 6:30 am, the guys set off to the arena. They hadn’t planned to jump, as they had decided to make kind of a day-off and just had a free riding to their hearts’ content, since there were no-one in there. Sighed with relief from the fact that they didn’t have to set up the obstacles once again, they started in the training.

One couldn’t expect anything adequate when those two gathered together. After having walked and trotted in a warm up for a little bit, they decided just simply to have fun and started to cut in each other, making the horses to feel the beat and want some fun as well. So the animals started to play and slightly buck. However, the guys weren’t confused at all and the next moment one could see them galloping through the arena.

[ …1 hour later…]

 The two were already walking their horses, who had ran enough and had plenty of fun as well, without those stupid boring jumps. Max gave the reins to Nightmare so he can stretch his neck and relax. Andreas, in his turn, being a true guardian of the rules of behavior in the arena, couldn’t let himself do the same without loosening the girth, which he wasn’t able to reach for now.

 “You’re an idiot”, produced the sound Max, sending his horse faster so to overtake with Lovestruck.

 “Well then you’re a beer-lover”, grinned Andreas, “and on what sweet occasion am I an idiot?”

 “On the occasion that in our relationship it’s me who is the real boss who makes the decisions who is who”

 
“You’re crazy, right? Which f*cking relationship?” laughed Andreas louder, regretting he hadn’t put on his thinnest sweatshirt, as the sun was starting to let him know about its existence.

 
“Our brotherhood. What did you think of?” Max put a victorious expression on this face after what burst into laughter, “and after that you’re surprised, why you’re an idiot, my little heterosexual”

 
“Alright, change of the topic, you’re driving me crazy. Ah that’s been a while we had a workout together. Should do it more often”, announced Andreas, jumping off from Lovestruck.

 
“Yeah, you’re so right. We should fix that”
