Story

Before departure, Isac had seen pictures of what Scotland would look like and was very excited to see it in person. The short flight went very well. Amadeus seemed to be born to fly!
The evening before the event Isac felt very good. He spent the evening in the stables, preparing Amadeus for the next day. He stroked the horse gently over his withers, silently humming to calm him down. At the end of the night, he had done everything he could have.

Show morning

Isac woke up early, due to nervousness. He decided to get up and do something instead of staying in bed worrying. His stomach complained when he tried to eat breakfast, so he decided to leave the food until later and go outside instead. He had heard about the wonderful dawns of Scotland, and went out to view it in person. He walked past the show area, which seemed to be frozen in time, and aimed for the ocean. Not a living soul was out. He enjoyed the silence and the crispy morning air. As the sun started to rise, he could see the scenery grow in front of him. It was stunning. Compared to this, the few hills around the estate back home in Sweden was nothing. It was breathtaking. He gazed over the sharp cliffs, risen from the ocean. The wild water hit them and threw a cascade of water up in the air, making a rainbow in the early sunshine. He snapped a few pictures with his phone to show the others back home.

Show

As Isac put the tack on Amadeus, he noticed that the horse was surprisingly calm. He thought about the possible reactions that Amadeus would have towards the scenery, and hoped that he wouldn’t care too much. He figured the sound of the sea might frighten him and got angry with himself for not bringing ear protection for Amadeus.

Half an hour later, Isac was walking his horse towards the show area. There were many horses and people running around, shouting towards each other, and Isac could feel Amadeus’ stress beneath him. His ears were moving frequently and his step was short. Isac felt nervous now, and he repeated his program in his head to make sure he hadn’t forgotten it.
---
It was their turn now. The music started and they trotted into the arena, stopped and greeted the judges. After that, everything became a blur to Isac, but all in all It went really good. Afterwards Isac scratched Amadeus’ neck and thought “This horse is just amazing”
