Something touched me!!

Oreo vs Leaves returns.
Poor boy lives so much trauma in autumn XD

Honestly drawing this silly little pon being spooked is THE best fun. Thankfully Carmen loves her silly spotty boy and just enjoys the shenanigans.

It had been a classic stressful show morning.

She had come to the stables to feed Oreo, and after unwrapping what felt like a million layers of fabric that were there to keep him clean she found the inevitable green smudge. It was always amazing how he managed to get poo right up under a lycra body suit but Oreo never failed to manage it on the day of a show.

A quick and rushed sponge bath later and she was already short on time. Plaiting and tacking up was then not as relaxed as she had hoped it would be. Oreo was a sensitive horse and she liked keeping it as calm as possible on show days, so losing that time was not idea.

The second crisis happened when she was dressed and doing the final touches and felt a familiar and horrifying feel of her pants tearing along the crotch as she squatted down. It was her only good pair, and her backup riding tights were back at the accommodation and she would be riding far too soon to go there and just give up any time to warm up.

Thankfully assistance came in the talented and enchanting teal eyed form of Loretta. A quick sewing job while Carmen sheltered in the stable and engaged in some good old fashioned flirting and curvy friendly brand recommendations, and her pants were at least wearable. They would not last too long, but at least she would not be withdrawing after all the effort and travel.

Oreo was classically spooky. The rushed warmup time didn't let Carmen get him as relaxed as she had hoped. The new surface and the cooler weather had let him particularly frisky, so she knew it would be a miracle if he held it together enough to get a good score. At best they would have a tense but correct test

It was not the best situation. On the fourth movement the silly boy realised something had touched his leg and yeeted himself into the air as he fled from the clearly horse eating monster. Carmen tried to recollect him and settle him as quickly as possible, but having a near death experience once, Oreo was on high alert for any further monsters hiding underneath the water.

At least she had the chance of some drinks and fun company after the day. If she survived that is.
