--------------

„Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war.“ It was the second time the radio played the song and he wasn´t happy about it. It wasn’t that he didn’t like ABBA, quite the opposite! But for his first competition with Spany he had wished for an song with more motivating lyrics, there was too much at risk: The breeding honor of the stable for example. While he saddled Spany, he heard the voice of his wife, telling him not to take this too serious. It was just a tournament. Yeah, just a simple turney. „Listen, we have to perform well, Spany.“ he told his mare. After all she was the daughter of Clyde, who hadn´t made his career not only as darling of the public. While Diamo dressed, he told himself to stay calm. Yes, he was the representative of JoLS and yes, he was here with the daughter of a premium stallion. But he didn´t have to go crazy about it, did he? He sighed. It was always difficult to find the right dimension between excitement and being calm, you need both. If you’re too calm, you won’t respect the task and make careless mistakes and once you are too excited, you’ll lose the look on the important things and get lost in details.
One deep breath, lock car and trailer and then going to the arena. He did regret not bringen anyone with him, but he didn’t like to have audience from the own stable, they would have made him nervous. He grinned in memory of Beth and Lana, calling him a bad dad for leaving wife and son home alone. Of course they had offered their help, altruistic, coming with them and giving Gina some time for herself, babysitting Baldur. Both girls are rarely on the loss of an excuse. But Diamo told them to stay at home. If he shouldn´t get a placing he wanted to be alone. At least until he was back home. The girls would tear him apart; lately they had fun judging everybody by their riding skills, including themselves. They said everyone had to be a role model for Baldur. While getting on Spanys back, the blonde haired young man shook his head. The two of them were quite exhausting though they had an excellent education in school. Did they catch up puberty now? Whatever, he would think about it later as there were only two riders starting before him! He thought about the track ahead of him; it was not too heavy but still quite a challenge for Spany. „Well my dear, show what’s in your DNA!“ he told the mare, who couldn´t wait to start. Only one rider before them and they got ready. The rider and his horse in the parcour just flew over the obstacles and then Diamo heard the bell. Now it was time for their great performance. „It´s Showtime“, Diamo murmured while Spany started gallopping.
