Sophie

I walked out of the stables with Heart smiling, i was happy it was a lovely sunny day!! I walked to the mounting block and climbed up, I pulled my two stirrups down and slipped my foot in the stirrup and swung onto Heart's back, i sat gently on to her back and patted her. I squuexed Heart on and smiled looking around, I was going into the jumping ring, I gently pushed open the gate and shut int behind me. I started walking Heart around the ring to warm her up.

I walked down to the jumping ring with Marya close on my heels. He snorted and flicked his ears toward the jumping ring. I Looked and saw someone riding there, so I pulled up my beautiful bay arab and said, "easy boy." He stopped and just starred at the new horse, his eyes wide, ears almost touching at the tips and nose flaring. I stepped back and stood next to him and said. "Marya, heel." He stepped back keeping his front hoof in line with my foot and then I called, trying not to spook the other horse and rider. "Hey, mind if we join?"

I smiled as another riding was coming to the ring, it was more fun jumping with some one than alone,definetly. I patted Heart and smiled to the girl, "Yeah sure, why not!" I said smiling happily and walking Heart on. After 8 laps, four on each reign, I squeezed Heart on ino trot, she did a lvely transition and strided out nicely , she cme down onto the bit easly and after 8 laps, 4 each way I steadied her to walk.

I entered the arena with Marya and poked him in the shoulder and said, "Marya. Bow." He snorted and bowed next to me, I wlaked around got onto his back and said, "Marya get get." Marya jumped up and whipped his head eager to go. "Easy boy not yet," I coed to him as I let him walk around the ring getting warmed up. After he was done with his warm ups at a walk I asked for a trot and then I said, "I'm Kayla by the way."

(Haha Ruby do you wanna just ditch helping out cause i dont know how long we can wait for Super to eventually see it )

Britt

I lead Elvis, my new and first horse, out around the barn and to the mounting block near the jumping ring, and saw two other riders withe their horses riding. I sighed and turned Elvis, we could just go work on some flatting. I stopped and turned again doing a double take, I noticed one of the riders was Sophie. She wasn't riding Ruby though, she had more horses? I shook my head happily and grinned. I waved to Sophie and was a bit shy of the other girl, she had her horse taught good. I glanced at Elvis. He was young, and hopefully he wouldn't act up at all. I haven't done much jumping with him yet, so we'd see. I looked over to Sophie and the other rider again. "So, uh, can we join?" I asked smiling nervously and adjusting my riding gloves so I wouldn't have to look staright up at them.

[Rubyrocks loves Her Pony]

(dunno, i'll pm super and ask her to join the thread)

Sophie

I smiled and patted Heart, As the girl asked the horse to bow Heart looked wonderfully and happily watching the other horse cearfully, She stuck her head down and tried to bow, i pulled her back up gently, i was almost catapolted over the top from her doing that, "Heart!" I said patting her and gigglinbg slightly. I smiled to the girl (Kayla), "Hey Kayla, I'm Sophie!" I said smiling and then Heart snorted and pawed the ground gently, "And this is Heart!" I said patting her and giggling a little. I saw Britt and smiled happily, I waved back, "Hey Britt!! so is this your new and first ever beauty??" I said smiling to her and looking at the horse, "Corse you can join!" I said smiling really happily.

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

Kayla

I smiled patting Marya's neck and said. "Its nice to meet you and your horse." I said to Sophie, I turned back to Marya making sure to keep him level he had a habit of taking off at faster speeds without my say so. I smiled as the other girl came into the ring and smiled before saying. "Hey," I started to add something when Marya whipped his head to go forward, so I rolled my eyes and said, "be right back." I turned Marya on his hind-quarters and made him start to spin and work with his head down. He snorted and spun faster, I laughed as he spun faster. After he stopped on his own I put my fett back into my stirups and smiled. "Done."

[Rubyrocks loves Her Pony]

Sophie

I smiled and patted Heart to, "Thanks! it's nice to meet you and your horse to!" I said smiling happily. Heart was acting wierd, i was worried, he was snorting and pawing the floor, "What's wrong girl??" I said looking around on the floor and then it came, Heart lept up in the air and did exakly what Kayla's horse had done, "Ahh!" I shouted, it came out of complete shock. I managed to get my balance as she did it and he did it perfectly, i held her mane tight but cearfully so i didn't hurt her. Heart landed and i looked to her, "what ws that for?" I said confused but also giggling a little. I looked up at Kayla, "Your gonna have to teach me how to do it, in control!" I said giggling a bit. I patted Heart and smiled.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

I smiled at the others and lead Elvis into the ring, and smiled proudly at Sophie. "Yepp! He's amazing," I said smiling and patting him. I mounted Elvis and he jerked his head up a bit when I did. "Easy.... No acting up." I said to him. I watched the girl as she spun her horse around, she had complete control and it looked like she did it to calm him down. Then Sophie's horse copied, but Sophie seemed to be just hanging on instead of keeping control. Elvis eyed them and snorted, keeping his head up straight and doing a fast, show-offy walk. I laughed at him and let him trot a bit around the ring, in both directions, before stopping him and bringing him to a walk again. He snorted, bored with it. I smiled at him and patted him, then I let my reins out as long as they could be, took my inside rein, and stretched it back and in. Elvis started to bend in circles, then I did it the other way. He listened fairly well, and I patted him, satisfied.

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

I smiled and laughed nodding. "Yeah if you have a horse that likes to spin then it is good to know how to make them do it and not the other way around." I said with a bright smile, Marya whipped his arab like head and asked to go forward. I smiled and nudged him into an extended trot. And then I urged him into a canter, he lengthened out into a good extended canter. I smiled at both the other horses and was glad I didn't have Jagger out here with me, he would be doing flying leaps and race track style racing around the arena. "Easy," I said to Marya and he instantly slowed to a collected trot. After a few more laps with him extending and collecting his gait I brought him to a halt and said, "y'all want to set up a course? Like a show one? Marya hasn't been able to jump in about six months." I said, when I had went on vaction I had to leave him here so there was no one to work him.

Sophie

I smiled as Britt entered the ring, her horse did look fab, "I'm glad you get along well with him, he looks really nice to ride!" I said smiling speaking to Britt. I smiled and giggled a little as Marya said that, "Yeah totally!" I said giggling. Heart's ears pinnged forward at the word of Jumping Course, i smiled and patted her, "Yeah sure, lets do a super showy course!" I said smiling at patting Heart, we were ready and had done our warm up, but i hoped everyone else had.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

I smiled at the others and looked to them. I looked down at Elvis uncertaintly, but his ears were pricked towards me, as if waiting to hear my answer. I thought for a moment and asked him for a trot for 5 steps, canter for ten, trot for five, and did it a few times over. It got him listening making sure he was doing what he was supposed to. I smiled and patted him, bringing him to a walk again. I was pretty sure he knew what he was doing though, he just wanted to jump. I looked to the others and smiled happily. "Yeah, Let's jump." Elvis pricked his ears towards me then started doing this prancing trot, almost paddling. I laughed, made him walk again, and patted him.

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

I smiled and patted Marya's neck. I grinned and said, "awesome I'll set it up!" I said jumping down from Marya's back, "how high? Or do you want to change the height for each of us? Cause I like to jump about four to five feet, but we can change for each one of us if you y'all want." I said with smile, as I walked around the ring setting up the number of jumps we would need for a course Marya dogged behind me like a well trained puppy dog. I smiled as he is fallowing me around, six months and he hadn't forgotten a thing.

[Rubyrocks loves Her Pony]

Sophie

I smiled and patted Heart, Elvis was a very good horse, i wasglad Britt found the right one! I looked to Kayla,"I'll help!" I dismounted Heart and walked to get a wing, I smiled, "Yep i'm perfectly fine with jumping that height!" I said in a friendly way. I put at the very end of the course Kayla had set up a massive wall jump, i smiled as i finished it, "This jump should be the perfect jump to finish!" I said smiling, the jump was placed at 5 feet exackly it was gonna be so fun.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

I looked to Kayla and thought for a moment, then watched Sophie dismount and start to help setting up the jumps. I thought for a moment and bit my lip. Elvis eyed them curiously. I smiled. "Yeah, I might not do the whole course right away, maybe just one jump to see how Elvis behaves." I said with a smile. I knew he could jump perfectly fine, I just wanted him to do it the right way and not rush or knock a pole, or misbehave at all. I patted Elvis and nidged him to a trot around the ring. He bended his head without me asking and I patted him again, smiling. I wanted to help, but I couldn't help set up jumps and lead Elvis around at the same time.

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

I smiled and nodded to Sophie. " Great! Marya is gonna love this." I saidwith a big grin. I finished with my jumps and wiped my hand together proud of my work. Everything looked great. I turned to Marya and poked him in the shoulder as for the bow and when he did as asked I swung up onto his back. He stood up and shook out his entire body, I smiled and rubbed his neck. I smiled to Britt and said, "yeah I get that, I wouldn't even think about jumping Jagger over any of these jumps! He's freakin' crazy!" I said with a laugh thinking of my nut-so thoroughbred, he was freash of the track and was still nuts! But I loved him. I let Marya pick a trot around the arena and waited for Sophie to get back on her horse. "We all ready?" I asked with a broad smile.

[Rubyrocks loves Her Pony]

Sophie, I smiled back to Britt, "It's gonna be awesome!" I said smiling, I looked to Kayla, "That's ok, don't feel preasured to do it if yu don't want to" I said nicely to Kayla. I mounted back onto Heart and patted him. I smiled to Britt as i gathered my reigns up a little, "Ready!" I said smiling broadly.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

Britt
I smiled to Kayla. "Yeah, well I don't even know how crazy he is, he's supposed to be an AMAZING jumper though." I said with a huge smile. I looked to Sophie and smiled. "I wanna do it, it's just..." I looked to Elvis, I didn't really have to explain. The longing for Ivy to myself, the lesson horse I use to ride before Elvis, came back fresh and I shrugged, shook it off, and took a deep breath. I patted Elvis. I barely even knew him, he would make me proud.

(sorry so shortt! I don't have muse, KM im gonna message you on GF about why I don't have muse!! ): )

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

I smiled and clicked my tongue asking Marya for a canter he did as told and I gently rocked with his awesome gait. I smiled and pulled him to a stop and asked, "kay' so who's goin' first?" I asked, I actually wanted to go but I would be polite and aske the others first. I smiled at Britt and said. "Yeah he looks like he would be." I said with a bright smile, asking Marya to back up and then side-pass forward.

(Yeah I will make a better post next time And I get it Music! ANd its totally fine)

[Rubyrocks loves Her Pony]

(ok cool)

Sophie

I look to Kayla, i knew what she went, i knew she would be a little bit nervous, "Don't worry, you don't need to worry, you could try the course jumps one at a time and then gradually bring them all together!" I said smiling happily. I looked to Britt, "You can if you want!" I said smiling looking happily to Britt.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

I smiled at Kayla when she asked and thought. Well, Elvis really wanted to, I knew that. And I was itching to jump! I looked to Sophie and thought. "That's.... actully a REALLY good idea!" I said with a small laugh. I patted Elvis and stood up in the sddle making sure my legs were in the right place. I looked to Sophie and smiled. "Well, I guess..." I said. I smiled and shoved my heels down, gathered my reins and walked Elvis in a circle, widened the circle, went into a trot, and then urged him to a canter. He had a nice, even canter, it was nice to ride to. I was careful not to hold my breath or go stiff, or do anything that coukld hint the slightest bit of hesitation. I had to keep a tight rein as I pointed him to the jump, Elvis lengthened his stride a bit an I went into two point, giving him more rein for the jump. He tossed his head a bit, but it was mostly in excitement, then soared over the jump. He landed and gave a tiny, happy buck. It was pretty dang sloppy but it was pretty good, it was the biggest jump I had done with him so far. I smiled and patted him, cantered him again once around the ring, then brought him into a walk again. I had a big goofy grin on my face and patted Elvis. Yep, I was gonna end up loving this horse. I smiled to the others and smirked. "Next?" I asked. I was definitely gonna let them go and then I could do the second jump in the course. I was itching to do the brick wall at the end, I was thinking on maybe training Elvis in a bit of cross country.

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

I smiled and watched Britt jump, her horse was great at it. Marya snorted and pawed the ground whipping his head. He loved working and was eager to jump. He stamped his foot and snorted again watching the other horse jump. I smiled as Marya sighed and walked around the arena, I made a kissy noise and asked for a trot. I moved with him evenly and smoothly, he had one of the bumpyest trots ever but I was used to it. I leaned back and he slowed to a stop and I said, "I'll go next." I grinned widely knowing that Britt was deffently wanting to do the next jump. Before I asked Marya to go start I said, "he looked awesome, you two are gonna make an awesome team."
I smiled and rocked Marya around, he went around the arena at an extended canter and then I set him up for the first jump, he stayed on a straight line to it and kept his gait level. He lunged forward moving over it like a perfect painting, when we landed he was already turning towards the next jump, I stedied him and collected him before we reached the next jump. He jumped it like the old pro that he was and I smiled loving the feel of jumping my awesome gelding. After a few more jumps we were at the last jump, he snorted and sped up a little bit and with any other horse I would have pulled them up but with my Ol' Man I let him stay at faster speed. He lunged over the five foot wall and landed perfectly. I slow galloped him around the arena one more time and then slowed him down, I smiled and patted his neck. I knew my smile looked like a smirk but that was just how I smiled. I stopped him and said, "that was amazing! I haven't jumped him in like months!" I said letting out a big breath, I had trouble getting enough breath after a jumping ride it was cause I was so excited and hyper after I jumped that it was hard to my breathing even.

(I had muse )

[Rubyrocks loves Her Pony]

Sophie smiled and patted Heart, "Thank you! it'll definetly get you used to jumping Elvis!" I said smiling happily. I nodded back to Britt and smiled. I smiled happily, "Well done Britt!! that was very good!" I said smiling, i was gonna go next but i knew Kayla would want to. I smiled to Kayla, "That was awesome!" I said smiling happily, "I'm going now!" I said smiling happily. I picked up a lovely collected canter, perfect rhythm and it was lovely, I cantered round the ring once and then lined up with the first jump, Heart flew over it easily and then i went over the next combonation perfectly and very neatly and over the rest of the jump, then came the huge wall, i could feel Heart fasten up, i let her slightly and then i lined her up perfectly straight, as i got to it she tried to duck out and scoot sideways, i squeezed her and gently pulled her head to the right so she didn't duck out. She jumped it and landed a bit squw-wif so after the jump i circled her round and then lined her up with the jump again, this time Heart soared over the huge 5 foot wall, Heart soared over it neatly and perfectly and then landed perfectly, i did a lap of the ring slowing Heart down to trot then walk, I had a huge grin on my face, i was really happy!

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

I smiled to Kayla. She started Marya around the ring before I could say thanks or anything, but my smile said everything. I watched Kayla go perfectly over the first two jumps. I zoned out until the brick wall, and instead of pulling up she let Marya out faster. I held my breath. Was she doing that on purpose? Marya soared over the jump and I clapped. She had, she knew her horse obviously. Those two were a perfect pair, and had a great bond obviously. I smiled at Kayla as she came back. "That was amazing!" I said to her excitedly. I watched Sophie start Heart off around the ring, she had Heart a whole lot more collected and elegant looking then I had Elvis and Kayla had witg Marya. Kayla didn't have the elegant type of riding from what I could see though, she just had a great bond with her horse, she didn't try anything. Sophie didn't have to try either, her and Heart looked amazing. Sophie had Heart almost perfect over the jumps, and quickly corrected her for the brick wall. "Nicee!" I said, clapping. "That was pretty dang awesome too," I smiled and patted Elvis. "Well, let's go." I said to Elvis. I urged him into a canter and instead of doing just the second jump, I went for the first and the second jump. Elvis got a bit excited and had a bit of a long spot on the first jump, but he stayed in a line and didn't buck or throw his head this time. On the second jump he lowered his head and slowed down to observe the jump, I looked straight forward and shoved my heels down adding leg, thinking he was gonna stop. I went up in two-point and he soared over it anyways. I circled him around the arena, smiling and patting him. "Good boy!" I smiled happily. I walked him back to the other two, smiling.

[Rubyrocks loves Her Pony]

Sophie grinned to Britt, "Thanks! you were awesome to!" I said smiling patting Heart "Good girl!" I said to her patting her on the neck. I watched Britt, "Tha was awesome! you two are gonna make the perfect team!" I said smiling to her happy for her, I looked to Kayla then Britt, "Do you think we should add a jump that you finish one and then you have to turn quite tight and jump at a bit of an angle and it can be a big bounce jump!" I said smiling hoping they'd agree.

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

I pulled Marya up to a walk and stopped near the edge of the arena, I smiled and looked to Britt and said, "thanks when I first got Marya I couldn't even really handle him!" She smiled and watched Spohie jump and smiled, when she was done smiled and said, "that was awesome! You did great." I said with with big smile. I watched Britt jump Elvis again and smiled this time she did two jumps and it looked amazing! "That was great Britt you two looked totally awesome." I said patting Marya's neck and then ruffling his mane a little bit. I turned my head to Sophie and smiled, "yeah that's a great idea! It would give us a little more challenge with our horses." I said with grinn Marya always knocked the jumps down on tight turns but he was still good and it was fun to do that with him.

[Rubyrocks loves Her Pony]

Sophie smiled as she heard Kayla's comment. "Thanks! you did great to!" I commented back nicely to Kayla. Sophie nooded and agreed with Kayla, Britt did great. I smiled to Kayla thought the tight corner jump was good a smiled. I grinned, "Great! shall we set it up now then?" I said looking to Kayla and Britt.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

Britt smiled and blushed a little,patting Elvis. "Thanks! It's not even me, Elvis is great!" I said with a smiled. These one or two jumps at a time looked boring to him, I wanted to try the whole course so bad. I looked to Sophie and smiled. "Up to you guys, I don't know if I'll do it or not," I said with a shrug. In my mind though, I was already scheming on how to get Elvis over the whole course on our next turn. If it got to bad, I could do an emergency dismount, but I doubted anything bad would happen. I smiled and patted Elvis, he was so good.

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

I smiled to sophie and said, "thanks!" I turned to Britt and said, "you did great! Its not just the horse ya know! You have to be good with them! And your awesome with him! You two will make a wonderfull team!" I said and patted Marya's neck, and then added, "sure we can set it up, and Britt ya don't have to do it if ya don't want to. Take your time get in the groove with him first and then you'll be fine doing anything." I said with a big grinn.

(Sorry so short! Stomach in knots and all weird today! So not much muse)

[Rubyrocks loves Her Pony]

Sophie smiled to Britt, "You don't have to the whole course, we don't mind!" I said smiling and saying that to Britt. I grinned back to Kayla, I grinned to Britt, "Yeah! your an amazing rider, it's not just Elvis who is good!" I said smiling happily. I smiled, "Ok cool, lets both set it up!" I said smiling happily. I smiled happily and then i patted Heart.

(that's cool)
