Stella - Chapter 10
It was 60 on Saturday morning and Stella was up and excited. She was having some cereal, weetabix, her favourite. By 70 she was ready to go because she had to walk to the bus station to get the official Team GB training bus.
"Bye Mum!" she called up the stairs. Then she left through the door and walked along the road with her kit bag with her change of clothes and her water bottle in.
When she arrived at the bus station she could see a large red, white and blue bus with a lion on, she guessed that would be hers. She walked over to it, a woman with a clipboard was standing by the entrance.
"So you must be Stella, going to Equestrian training?" asked the woman.
"Yes, Stella Anderson." she replied.
"Good here is your training kit, and here is your competition kit, you wear the training kit today, oh and here is your kit bag and water bottle. Are you being picked up at 8pm this evening or are you on the bus?" the woman added. Stella put her kit in her new kit bag and replied "My mum is picking me up tonight." With that she got on the bus and it left.
They arrived in a car park with stables on the left and an arena on the right, they left to the stables first and Stella's horse was there already. She put the saddle on her horse and got changed into her new training kit.
She trained for many hours, the coach was outstanded with her work when she finished the coach came up to her.
"Stella, just before you leave, could I have a word? You see, you are a brilliant rider, and there is a competition coming up which I would love you to attend, but it's in China and you will be there for 3 months. Could you give this letter to your mother?" The coach asked
"Oh... Umm.... Yeah sure," Stella replied uncertainly. It was a lot to take in, she was being asked to go to China for 3 months and her parents wouldn't be with her. She picked up her bags, and led her horse to the car and put her in the horse trailer and left with mum.
