I halted Chase and pulled on the reins. It was a bit chilly outside,but I enjoyed the wind. It gave me a cool feeling. I pulled on my helmet,strap and pulled it off. I let Chase,stretch his legs for a bit. "Hey there boy." I rubbed his cheek and kissed it. I wrapped my arms around his neck and signed deeply. I let go of my arms and pulled my feet,out of the stir-ups. I stretched and hopped off Chase's back. I peared up at the sun and blinded it by,putting my hand over the tops of my eyes. I signed and pulled on the reins,putting Chase in a circle. I rubbed his head and continued on the walk. I strapped my helmet on my saddle and heard hoof-beats approaching. "Looks like we have company,boy." I said whispering into Chase's ear.

The gentle wind blew threw my crisp white shirt sending shivers down my back. I toke my helmet from my newly painted tack trunk, placed it on my head and snapped together the two small clasps. I patted my appaloosa DJ on the neck on final time before I walked out the large stable doors which lead to multiple arenas. The other rings were still and quiet except one, which had a girl and her horse. Being the friendly person I am, I headed over to that arena. I opened the gate and my shiny black riding boots made soft prints in the sand. I saw a mounting block and lead DJ over in its direction. "Hi, I'm Jessie." I said smiling to the girl; showing my straight white teeth. I stepped up the small steps of the block and settled in DJs saddle. I glanced back at the girl, awaiting a response.

I peared the girl up and down. I smiled at her. "I'm Bailey." I noticed she was riding and saw Chase nudging the arena's ground. "Okay,let's go." I swung on-top of Chase's back,without using the stepping-block. I turned Chase,away from our company and put him in soft trot. I heard his hoof-beats pound the arena's ground and listened to the sound carefully. I pulled Chase to a stop and snatched on my helmet,before Mr.Pete caught me. I smiled to myself at the sight,but shook it off anyways. I tightened the reins and squeezed my legs,gently against Chase's sides.

I smiled at the girl, Bailey, just before she easily mounted her horse. Her horse was about a hand and a half smaller than DJ but he was still gorgeous, he had a dipped nose and a gleaming coat. I smiled and looked down at DJ`s pearly white coat and black leopard dots. As Bailey trotted away smoothy I turned DJ to the center to warm him up by trotting in a smaller circle. There was a cool breeze but the sun still shone, making me glad that I`d tied my long hair in a neat bun carefully shoved under my helmet. I squeezed my legs against DJ`s sides, he sighed and started a nice slow trot. I looked at Bailey from under my helmet for a split second, watching her ride, before I turned my focus back on my horse.

I looked under my helmet and at Jessie. Her movement was nice and smooth. I smiled and headed for a couple of double oxers,up head. I turned Chase in a circle,that kept getting smaller. I let Chase face the jumps and squeezed my legs,against his sides. Chase took off. I heard his hoof-beats pound against the arena's ground and I tightened the reins. The first jump was up-ahead and I counted down in my head. 5,4,3,2,1. Now! I squeezed my legs,against his sides and Chase tucked his legs,gently under his body.

I watched Bailey jump. Her form was good and her horse looked good too. But I decided to leave jumping for later, and just work on flat work for now. "Your a really good jumper." I said smiling as she came over. I halted DJ and asked him to bend his neck so his nose was touching my thigh. I made him hold it for a few seconds before doing the other side. My coach had recommended that stretch since DJ wasn't that flexible when I got him.
OCC: sorry that post was so short.

I flashed Jessie a smile. "Thanks." I smiled to myself and led Chase toward the wall. I pushed my feet,out of the stirrups and left them dangling,by Chase's side. I let the reins go and led Chase with only my legs/body.

I let DJ relax his neck before I started to walk forward. I halted and squeezed my legs hard against his sides, telling him to canter from the halt. He leaped forward, completing the task perfectly. I smiled and patted his neck. I trotted and cantered him around some more before deciding to jump. I cantered him in a circle before heading straight towards the jump Bailey just jumped. I counted the strides in my head, and lifted my body out of the saddle in perfect jumping position so DJ could have more room to clear the jump. We landed with a thud on the sand, a smile grew across my face and I patted DJ. Outfit: www.polyvore.com/move_with_beat/set?id=78328280

I watched Jessie and her horse,jump the jump me and Chase did. I watched them. We did perfectly as them and I smiled to myself. "That was awesome,but you have to work on your hands." I told her. Her hands,didn't grip the reins enough,but they still did great. I patted Chase on the head and let go of his reins.

"thank you! And yeah, I need to work on that." I said, happy that she thought I did OK. I trotted DJ in a small figure eight. I did the first small loop, then i crossed the middle and changed my posting diagonal. I made sure to keep a better grip on the reins as I finished the finale loop. I wondered if she wanted to go on a trail, but she probably wanted to practice more, so I didn't ask.
