==== Triple Fault ====
When Sasha decides to take Paige on a trail ride with EricPage 109 of Triple Fault on a free Sunday morning,Page 108 of Triple Fault Mr. Conner assigns her Chomp.Page 111 of Triple Fault Sasha tells Paige that he is a "supercalm and sweet" horse, and that Paige will love him when asked if Chomp was a good horse. Paige asks where he got his name from, and Sasha pauses before replying that it was rumored that he bites riders he doesn't like, making Paige stop in her tracks. Sasha swears that it was made up though, and she and Paige continue on to the tack room, where they get Chomp's tack and grooming kit. They pass Eric, who offers to groom Luna and Charm for Sasha so she can give Paige a riding lesson. The girls get Chomp from his stall and groom him togetherPage 113 of Triple Fault before Sasha teaches Paige how to tack him up. Paige gets a helmet from the tack room and they go into the arena.Page 115 of Triple Fault Following Sasha's instructions, Paige mounts Chomp and walks him with Sasha holding his head.Page 116 of Triple Fault When Sasha lets go, however, Paige walks Chomp right to a wall.Page 117 of Triple Fault After a bit more practice, she is given permission by Mr. Conner to go on a trail ride, promising to stick to the designated trails and not to explore or do cross-country.Page 118 of Triple Fault 
Out on the trails, Paige rides Chomp between Sasha and Eric, which is the safest spot for a new rider. They see Callie, but ride right past.Page 119 of Triple Fault In the woods, the three riders chat together easily. They ride down a pathPage 120 of Triple Fault and to a part of the trail that was separated from a large open field by a stone wall.Page 121 of Triple Fault Closer to the wall, they start to trot. It took Paige several tries to be able to post to the trot properly.Page 122 of Triple Fault After trotting for several yards, they spot Jasmine jumping Phoenix over the stone wall and a line of brush hedges. She is riding alone, angering Sasha and Eric, who explain to a clueless Paige how it was never safe to jump alone, especially the way Jasmine was doing it. The three ride towards Jasmine, who gallops over, pulling to a halt only yards away.Page 123 of Triple Fault 
Sasha and Eric confront Jasmine about jumping alone, threatening to tell Mr. Conner if she didn't ride back with them at once and promise to never do it again.Page 124 of Triple Fault Jasmine grudgingly agrees, and shoves Phoenix between Charm and Chomp on the way back, insulting Eric and teasing him and Sasha.Page 125 of Triple Fault Back at the stable, they crosstied their mounts and groomed them. Mr. Conner comes up and asks Paige about the ride, to which she replies positively.Page 126 of Triple Fault He then goes over to Jasmine and speaks to her about her upcoming advanced team testing.
