"Thanks, guys!" Taylor said, happy at her achievement. She used her inside leg and tried to not let the others notice it, but it seemed too obvious. Anyhow, Blue went into a smooth, rocking canter on Taylor's command.

Gena turned to the boy, "This lesson is about over but tomorrow would be great!" Turning back to Taylor, she nodded, "That is great but try and keep your shoulders back as if you were stuck up." After another lap, she announced, "Come back to a walk and cool him out. Great job everybody, get your horse cooled out and then untack and hose them off." Turning, she headed for the barn.

Taylor set her shoulders back and straightened up, trying to make herself look like an old pro, even though she still felt a bit wobbly on Blue. "How's this, Gena?"

"Good! Come back to a walk and cool him out now!" Gena turned and left the ring.

"Thanks, Gena!" Taylor called out to her. She slowed Blue down to a trot, then a walk, letting him have full rein. "So how did I do, guys? Do I look like a newbie?"

"He's fine!" she wrapped her arms round his neck. "He's such a clever likkle man! Yes he is!" she said in a baby voice.

I hugged Moonlight round the neck then patted him on the neck "Lets get back to the stables guys"I said happily.

"Okay, you coming, Cassie?" Taylor asked, dismounting Blue, and leading him out of the ring.

Cassie hopped of Dante and ran her stirrups up, then loosened the girth a bit. She followed Tay and Lucy.

Taylor smiled. "It is really fun," she agreed. "It makes me almost want to quit western, because the opportunities are so much bigger with English riding."

Cassie looked at Taylor. "But, Tay, you LOVE barell racing! You're great with Skylar!"

"I know," Taylor said, "but Skylar's getting a bit older and arthritis runs in her sire's genes, so she might end up having that soon." Taylor shrugged and smiled at Cassie. "I'll probably just teach her foal English, she seems like a good jumper, what with the Arabian in her."

"Yeah, it might just be me, but it seems like she been favoring her right hind leg a little more than she used to," Taylor said, sighing. "It looks like the arthritis has flared up there."

"I might have to stop riding her in a few years," Taylor said quietly. "Her grandsire's arthritis got so bad after the first three years, his owners had to put him down."

Cassie looked at Taylor. "I'm sorry." She couldn't imagine having to stop riding Dante.

"Yeah, she's going to be a real handful, just like her mommy!" Taylor smiled happily. "I asked Gena if she could help me teach her dressage, so I know this is going to hard."
