Vicki led an energetic Dancer down to the jumping ring. Her highly strung mare tugged against the reins, seeing the jumps. Vicki laughed as she struggled to keep hold of the mare.
"Easy, Dancey," she warned as she opened the gate. Dancer skittered into the ring, fidgeting behind her owner as Vicki closed the gate securely. Smiling, the girl turned to her beloved horse. She fastened the reins securely around Dancer's neck, making sure they couldn't slip loose, then pointed to the outside of the ring and sent the grey around. Dancer burst into a canter, lowering her head and bucking as Vicki made her circle around. She snorted and eventually settled into a nice beat, flowing beautifully in both directions.
Satisfied that the mare's crazy energy was at least for now sated, Vicki walked over to Dancer and stroked the mare's neck. "Good girl," she murmured, pulling down her stirrups, checking her girth and quickly mounting up. She held her reins firmly as Dancer immediately tried to move off, then gave the mare a cue to walk once she'd stood still. "We'll warm you up first, then set up some jumps, huh pretty girl?" Vicki said to her horse.
