cassandra woke up when a small figure jumped onto her bed and bounced around her. she rubbed her eyes and sat up, shaking her head at her three year old daughter. "what are you doing trouble?" she asked before pulling the child down onto the bed and tickling her. she loved hearing her daughter laugh, it made her smile every time she heard it. cassie lifted mackenzie off of the bed and set her down on the floor then got out of the bed herself. "go bug one of your uncles for a bit kenz" she said then kissed the childs head before she ran out of the room. cassie went into her bathroom and brushed her teeth quickly. coming out of the bathroom, cassie grabbed her clothes from the wardrobe and changed into them, throwing her dirty clothes into the washing basket. moving to vanity, cassie ran a brush through her hair then tied it in a ponytail. she didn't bother putting make up on, she was only going to the barn to work. she grabbed her phone from her bed and shoved it into her pocket before picking up the washing basket. she walked into the laundry room emptied it onto the floor. after seperating the darks from the whites, she piled the dark pile into the washing machine since there were more dark clothes. cassie turned the machine on then walked out of the room and headed downstairs.
as she reached the bottom of the stairs, mackenzie collided into her legs. she grinned and picked her up. "let's get you some breakfast" she said, moving into the kitchen. cassie set kenzie down on a chair then pulled out the bread from the bread bin. she put two slices of bread into the toaster then pushed the button down. when it popped, cassie put a piece onto a plate and buttered it. she cut it in half then set it in front of kenzie. while the child ate hers, cassie buttered her own then ate a little. she wasn't hungry but she made sure to finish the toast, she needed the energy. when kenzie was finished, cassie took the plates and put them into the sink. cassie moved back over to kenzie and picked her up before moving into the living room. she put her down on the couch then turned the tv over to cartoons. "right trouble, i need to go to work now, so be good for your auntie" she said then kissed kenzie's head. cassie grabbed her car keys from the table in the hall then headed outside to it. once inside, she started the engine and drove to the barn.
parking the car, cassie cut the engine and pulled the key from the ignition. she stepped out of the car and locked it behind her before strolling into the barn. the first thing she did was go straight over to the three stables her horses were in. the only boys in her life. luca, vinnie and ghost. a small smile spread across her lips when luca popped his head over his stable door at the sound of her footsteps. "hey babs" she said, stroking in between his eyes softly. luca was her favourite. she'd had him for two years and she'd trained him herself. she'd trained all of her horses herself. luca and vinnie were both race horses, whereas ghost was her pleasure riding horse. cassie kissed luca's nose then gave vinnie and ghost some love. now it was time for work. when cassie wasn't training problem horses, she was traning youngsters. when she wasn't traning young horses, she was an exercise rider for the race horses. she loved that part of her job. she wanted to become a jockey but girl jockey's never really got taken seriously. out of the fourty horses in the grand national, there was rarely a girl riding one of them. she sighed and headed to the outdoor arena to start training.
hours later, cassie made her way into the lounge, dropping down onto the couch as soon as it was in reach. she's spent the past few hours lunging, riding and helping a horse overcome it's fear of water. it took a while but the horse finally grew confident to cross a tiny stream. tomorrow she'd move onto a wider stream if the horse was still confident. cassie rested her head on a pillow and yawned. it was lunch time but all she wanted to do was sleep. she knew she couldn't, she had to work again in the afternoon. cassie let her eyes close when they began to feel heavy, she was just resting them for a minute or two. .
