Lindsy - " Really! Thanks for telling us! And Lisa, maybe take Valero, he might not like dressage but I think he will be good at show jumping." She ran to the tack room and grabbed her jumping saddle bridle and saddle pad. She set them on a nearby table and took the halter to go get venus. She slipped the halter over her head and led her to the cross ties. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Venus (Horse) "Yeah Valero, you should go!" she said before being led to the cross ties. She was groomed and her feet were picked. Her owner slipped the saddle pad on her. She put the saddle on and tightened the girth. Her owner said, "Ok I am ready!" and put the bridle on venus.

Lisa: "Yikes! I am not sure if Valegro is ready to start jumping very high! He was originally a Dressage horse. Hopefully he can handle this. Thanks Amelia!" I walked down the asile to Valegro's stall. I am not a very brave person when it comes to jumping horses that have never jumped before. But, I had to calm down otherwise my nerves would most likely affect Valegro's performance. But I just couldn't. I was shaking and sweating all over as I tacked him up. Thankfully he didn't seem to be acting up yet. I continued to get ready for the lesson. Valegro: YES! I was going to jump! Hooray! I couldn't wait! Run, Lisa! Run! Uh oh. Lisa was nervous. I could tell. I had to stop being so excited, so she coud calm down. I stood calmly as she brushed me and tacked me up. I was excited but she wasn't. I hope she would feel better soon, cause I just couldn't wait to jump!

Lindsy - "Yep, I am ready! So witch arena is it in?" She asked amelia before unclipping the cross ties. She did one last look over venus before mounting up. -------------------------------------------------------------- Venus (Horse) - "Hey, moon!" Venus called as she was unclipped and Lindsy mounted up. She pranced in nervousness and excitement. Miriam Renequess was a grand show jumper.

Amelia -- Amelia noticed Lisa was sweaty and nervous, so she patted the girl gently on the shoulder. "hey, its allright, Miriam adapts her methods for each pupil, tailoring them to their needs. at least thats what ive heard." she surveyed Lisa's horse. "nice shape there, good for jumping, so the physical aspect is fine." she smiled and said "right shall we go then?"

Lindsy - "Yes! I can't wait!" She did one last check on her horse and gave her a pat on the neck. "I literally cant wait!" (Sorry its short, did not know what to put)

Aelia -- "okay lets go." they started to walk towards the biggest indoor arena, where somebody had allrady set up jumps and a few other students were there too. ---------- Miriam (instructor and showjumper) Miriam Renequesse, word famous showjumper was in her 30s, a strong well built woman. she was a great instructor too. she set up a set of 3 low jumps at 65cm to begin with, and said hi to the students. "ah, so now that you are all here, lets get started. i want those of you who are at more of a lowwer, easier level of jumping to walk your horses over there," she pointed to a space. "those medium level riders there," she pointed to another space "and advanced riders there." she said as the students started to move. "OK?"

Shay quickly got Edge out of the stall and tacked him up for the lesson. "You ready, buddy." She said as she made sure everything was in order, she figured she would follow the rest of the people to the arena it was in. . Edge looked around and started getting excited, he loved anything having to do with Jumping.
