Jess | M: Open They cantered around the arena together, getting into a smooth rhythm. Jess decided to do a few extra laps before transitioning to trot, just to get better at cantering bareback as she hadn't done it much before. She looked to the gate and noticed a girl walking past leading her horse. They looked like they might be doing some vauling, judging by the quick glance Jess got at the pad and surcingle on the horses back. Both Jess and Asteria started getting into and nice smooth rhythm and Jess decided that they would move into the next phase of their little training session. She asked the mare to trot, becoming a little unseated in the process. She was still getting used to the mares bumpy transition. They trotted along for a bit and they did a little extendered trot, but Asteria was good at that and remembered the cues. It was no where nere perfect but it was accepteable, after all she was a showjumper, not a dressage prospect. They transitioned down to walk and Jess let her do half a lap to cool down a bit before trying somehting they had only done once before, the Spanish Walk. She gathered the mare up and tapped her toes just behind Asterias shoulder, giving her they cue to try the move. The mare was a little confused at first but with a few more taps she clued on and tryed her best. Asteria kicked her legs out a bit as she walked around the short length of the arena. It was quite sloppy but Jess kept trying with the mare, just doing short strides of the move. They eventually got a little better, and formed something closer to the Spanish Walk than the first attempt. Jess was estatic with the mare, asked her to walk and slid off her back. She gave her a long patt on the neck and tickled her nose. The mare loved the attention and nuzzled Jess's hand. She walked over to the gate, Asteria in tow, and slipped the Azure blue halter back over the mares nose and buckled it up. She unlatched the gate and lead the mare out, catching a glimps of the girl that walked past eariler. She appeared to just be starting a vaulting rutine. "Ha, I was right girl," she pattered Asteria on the neck, "maybe she'll teach us one day, it would be cool to learn," she mumbled to herself happy with the days work. She walked Asteria back to the barn slowly giving the mare a chance to cool off and grab mouthful of grass every now and again. |

Lindsy - She waited a few minutes before giving up and promising to ask amelia. She would know. She walked to the barn and grabbed her cross-country tack, but she hesitated, venus had already been worked today so she put it back. She walked out of the barn to go eat dinner and find amelia. |

Lindsy - She saw her friend and heard what she had to say. "Yes! I was looking for you! Do you know when the lessons are? You know the English ones." |

Amelia -- "sure do!" she said. she had gathered some info on these things from talking to other members of the equestrian centre. "we have one tomorrow actually! Showjumping i think. it runs for 2 hours and anybody is welcome." she said, thinking of what fun it would be to have lessons with awesome rides from all over the world. |

Jess | M: Open She walked into the barn leading Asteria behind her. She noticed two girls standing and talking in the isle. She smiled to them as tshe walked past to her mares stable. She unlatched the stable door and lead the mare in. Jess took the halter off on walked around to the feed/tack room and hung the halter up. She then got Asterias feed together and delivered it to the mare, giving her a pat of the neck for her good work that day. |

Peter "Well...I'd like for Dust to be able to get some fresh air after the journey here. She's full of energy right now, so I don't want to bring her into a stall just yet. Do you know where the pastures are, by any chance?" He asked, feeling rather nervous, for he always felt rather shy talking to people he didn't know. However, he was almost a completely different person in the saddle. Only his closest friends ever saw that side of him, because he almost always rode alone. The only times he rode in front of people was during cutting competitions, and even then they were too far away to see exactly what he was like. But now, his awkwardness shone as he shuffled his feet and avoided eye contact. |

Amelia -- Amelia approached the girls talking together, and a new boy came up, leading a pretty horse beside him. "hey," Amelia said warmly. "if your looking for pastures, there over there, just plop your horse i whichever one you feel most comfortable in." she said, assessing the boy with her keen eye. looks shy but sweet she thought to herself. "and the arenas are that was," she pointed "and the yard and stables are just round that corner!" Amelia smiled again. "i hope you like it here, its a stunning place." |
