Dominic Blackwell’s face was a mask of rage by the time she arrived. “Forget it!” Blackwell snarled at her. “I’m due in the arena now! I don’t have time to dismount so you can put it on.”

“It’s OK,” Georgie began hastily strapping the martingale around Flair’s neck. “I know a way of putting it on fast – just stay in the saddle.”

As Georgie flitted about fastening buckles and straps to get the martingale intact Blackwell looked genuinely impressed. The martingale was attached in less than a minute and Blackwell’s name was now being called for the last time, requesting his presence in the arena.

“Good work, Julie,” he said as he headed in through the arena gates. “Now go and get my next horse warmed up for me.”

“What?” Georgie couldn’t believe it. Blackwell’s next horse was Navajo. “But Dominic, that’s Kennedy’s ride – I’ve never been on Navajo!” Georgie hadn’t been on any of Blackwell’s horses. He’d never even allowed her to hack out a horse at the yards and suddenly she was his warm-up groom?

“You heard me!” Blackwell snapped. “I want you to ride her. I don’t have time to discuss this!”

And with that, Dominic Blackwell rode into the arena on Flair and left Georgie on the sidelines, gaping like a stunned mullet.

She headed back to the truck, where she found Kennedy tacking up.

“What did he say?” Kennedy asked.

“He wants me to ride Navajo,” Georgie said.

Kennedy looked genuinely shocked. “You? But that’s ridiculous. You’ve never even been on her before!”

“I know,” Georgie agreed. “I tried to tell him that – but you know what he’s like.”

Kennedy narrowed her eyes. “You did this on purpose! You’re trying to make me look bad!”

Georgie shook her head, “Kennedy, honestly I’m not! I’m not the one doing this – it’s Dominic’s idea!”

“Oh, whatever!” Kennedy thrust the reins at Georgie. “Take her then! And don’t expect me to help you!”
