It was a lonely, boring, hot day. I was in my playpen surrounded by burning metal bars. I’m Paolo by the way. I was sleeping in my stall when I felt a little shade around my muzzle. It was my Master Krissy who had come to get me ready to ride. First she let me eat lots of hay that way I wouldn’t get hungry in the middle of my jumping. She walked me around a bit in my playpen and put me in my stall while she got the saddle and other things ready.
