Story

Selena waited by the ring hugging herself for warmth. "Brrr..." She said to David, who was standing by Dream, Clipping up her mane. It had been lightly snowing all morning and as beautiful as it was, It was freezing cold out. Selena was wearing a long overcoat and gloves. She hoped they would be acceptable to wear in the ring, and was worried they weren't. Dream was wearing her extra warm blanket, and seemed to be just fine. Josh was showing a filly, LRS Nothing Left of War, who was owned by Lion Ridge Stabels but since they could not make it to the show and Selena needed the numbers to be made, offered to show the young filly. Casey was showing their own foal, Versa's Prezzo del Fuocco, and David was showing Versa's Priceless Masterpeice, who was standing next to Dream also wearing a warm blanket.
"You don't think it's too cold for the foals, do you?" Selena asked David, a little worried.
He thought for a moment, then said, "I'm not sure... I think they'll be Okay... While the judge is not going over them, they can have their blankets on. Brooke will be able to give them too Casey and Josh over the fence."
"True..."

The gate to the ring was opened and each person took off their horses's coats and Brooke jogged over to wear the two foals would be. Selena went in first, then the two foals, then David with Master. The judge re-aranged them, then the four went around the ring.
