The jumping pumpkin

Hansel and Tom having fun at the halloween schooling event FCS Halloween Extravaganza.



Story

Tom frowned as Turta forcefully pulled his poofy pumpkin costume over his head. He was reluctant to wear a costume for the show but everyone at the stables convinced him to at least wear this. He popped his collar out at the neck and huffed. 'How on earth am I meant to jump with this ball surrounding me' he whined, 'I can hardly bend over'. Turta chuckled at Tom who was trying to put his boots on, having to bend around the pumpkin. 'Oh shut up, it's just for a bit of fun' she chimed, helping Tom shove his boots on.
After Tom was all suited up, he and Turta made their way to where Hansel was. He was all ready and just needed a quick once over before Tom could hop on. It took a few tries to get in the saddle as the giant pumpkin would get caught on various parts of the saddle. Finally up, they walked to the arena and waited for their turn. Doing some warm ups as they waited. Tom and Hansel were called into the arena and they trotted in. They trotted around the arena once before cantering to the first jump, two giant pumpkins were on either side. 'I've got the same costume as the jump', he thought. Hansel snorted and took off over it. Leaving quite the gap between the jump and them, Hans is quite the overachiever.
