Ari walked along the path to the xc course.She rweally needed to practice!It would be better if she was going to be practicing with friends though.Sighing,she put her foot on the stirrup and swung up,onto Sugars back."Walk on,Girl"She whispered.She did a few change of reins then commanded a trot.She sat deep in the saddle.But she couldnt stop bouncing so instead she started rising smoothly.She really needed to improve her sitting trot.She started in a canter and turned Sugar towards a 1ft6 water jump.They cleared it easily and she turned towards a 2ft jump.

Cassie hopped up onto Dante's back and trotted him along the trail towards the XC course. He was hyper today, he knew they were doing XC. He pranced and tossed his head when he saw the course. Cassie couldn't wait to do some XC schooling. XC was her fave discipline. When they arrived, Cassie saw Molly and Ari, plus the new girl, Lucy. "Hey, guys! Mind if I join ya?" she asked. Dante, seeing the other horses, went up into a half rear. "Woah, woah boy!" said Cassie, asking him to walk on. She kept him on a circle then began to trot. He was still excited. She asked for canter and he shot off, so she asked him to trot again. Then, asking for canter, he went fine. She looked towards a two foot water jump and turned Dante towards it. He immediatly leapt foward, but she checked him and steadied him. They went into the jump fine, Dante clearing it with incheds to spare. When they landed he bucked, as usual, then tried to gallop off. Cassie pulled him back, trotted in a circle, then turned him towards a 2'6 jump. Clearing that as well, she looked towards the next three foot jump and let him go a bit more, into a fast canter, and he cleared it. When he was finished, she asked him to walk and, as result, he reared up, out of excitement. He loved XC. She rode him quietly back towards the others.

"Umm... sure!" said Cassie, asking Dante to trot on. She asked for canter, then headed straight for a 3ft jump, cleared it, then a 3ft3. She check back to see if Lucy was still following. She cantered quite fast up to a 3'6, and Dante put in 3 bucks, she kicked him on and cleared a 2'6 log. She cleared another 2'9 and then let Dsnte stretch out into a gallop on the falt for a bit. She looked back a Lucy, grinning.

Cassie smiled. "Yeah, it was fun!" she was breathless. She began steadying Dante, who retalliated by bucking and throwing his head. She turned him in circled and he evenutally stopped. "Good boy!" Dante looked amazing today, with his new jumping saddle, red saddle pad and his posh XC boots.

I grinned at Cassie stroking Moonlight on the neck,"Do you want to go round the xc course again, but lets go on the really long one with the 3ft 6 water jump,the 2ft coffin, the 2ft 3 ditch and the double logs,it sounds really scary but when you get to the jumps there really easy,it takes an one hour 30 minutes to do the course, but we can do one jump at a time to discuse the approach and stuff only if you wan to do it though"i asked anxiously."I don't want to force you to do it so if you want just say"i said wondering what she was going to reply.

"Yeah your right"i said back,I rode after her towards the others."Do you two want to come on the xc course that takes one hour thirty minutes and has the 3ft 6 water jump,the 2ft coffin,the 2ft 3 ditch and the double logs"I asked hoping that they'd want to.

Sara trotted Desert slowly to the cross country course. She could see the others already there, and had to rein Desert in so he didn't bolt towards them. "Steady, boy," she murmured to her antsy gelding. He nickered towards the other horses. Sara could pick out Cassie and Dante, as well as Molly and Molly. Desert relaxed a little as they neared the group, so Sara cantered him towards them. Desert ducked his head and bucked, catching Sara unprepared. She slipped forward, then grimaced and leaned back, pushing her heels as far down as they would go. "Desert!" She scolded, kicking him. Desert flung his head up high, then held it sideways. Sara rolled her eyes. Her thoroughbred was a pyscho sometimes. She smiled tightly as they reached the others. "Hey guys," she said. She noticed a girl she hadn't seen before. "Hey! I'm Sara, and this is Desert, my retard horse," she laughed. Desert was prancing on the spot, his head still sideways. Sara tugged on the reins, trying to get her horse to hold his head properly, but he ignored her and lifted his front hooves in a small rear. Sara sighed. "He's a mental case!" she laughed to the others.

Molly thought for a second, "Ummm... If you would like to, we can do that course." She padded Molly's neck as she pawed at the ground.

Sara smiled. "Thanks!" she said, giving Desert a pat. He was still acting spooky. "Typical thoroughbred," she laughed. She smiled at everyone. "What course are you guys doing?" she asked Molly. Sara wanted to start Desert on a slightly small course first; she knew he could handle big jumps but she'd never done cross country with him before, so she wanted to start slow with him.

Molly grinned, "It is pretty basic, I bet Desert would do great over these. Lucy wants to go over a huge course but I will stay here with you if you would like. I wanna work on keeping Molly slower."

Sara laughed. "He might, once he's used to XC. He hasn't done it before though, hence the spazmonkey-ness," she gestured to Desert who was staring across the course with his ears pricked so far forward that they were nearly touching at the tips. "Oi!" she called to him, tugging each rein in turn to get his attention. "I'm still here, bozo!" Sara gave up when Desert remained fixated on the course. She rolled her eyes and turned back to Molly. "You can go ahead and do the big course with Lucy if you want, I can handle Desert over a small course," she said. She smiled at Molly.
