Jessie hung her head and sighed. She really was the less experienced. "I don't think i've cantered maybe once but not really," she said. She couldn't help but smile as she said it but only because of Sara's thumbs up. Thanks she mouthed to sara and then you too. Sara was really nice no matter what. Jessie even messed up but was still praised from her friend. She was happy.

Gena smiled as she saw the girl exchange thumbs ups and words. She was planning on talking to Jessie after the lesson but she didn't say anything yet. "Thats fine!" Her cheery voice rung through the ring. "I have an idea..." She said the words with a sly look on her face. "Walk around, I will be back!" Running up to the barn, she grabbed a lunging line and trotted back down. "Okay!" She put the line on the ground. "Jessie, stay on the inside at a trot and you two canter the outside. Don't jump your horses yet." She knew that she would have to make sure the girls could get their canter on their own horses for her lessons. She smiled at her idea as she watched them closely for their transitions.

Kayla
As she jogged around the arena, she listened to what Gena was saying as she kept Marya at an even gait, when Gena came back, and lied the lunge down she wondered what it was for when Jessie was told to trot in the inside and her and Sara were supposed to canter on the outside, "OK boy ready" she said, and so she clicked her thong and he went to the canter without any leg pressure at all, as she rode around in his fast canter she leaned back a bit, as Marya went around and turned you couldn't even see his lead changes, he pulled at the bit, "easy boy" she said to him and he slowed a bit, to a nice collected canter, "keep it up old man" she said to him as they went around the arena.
Carrie
She watched as the girls went over the jumps they seemed to do it well, Jessie fell forward but she seemed to regain herself rather well, she watched as Gena left for a lunge rope, Carrie wasn't sure what she was planning for them but was rather interested in finding out.

Sara raised her eyebrows as Gena ran out of the ring. She kept walking Desert around, and when Gena came back with a lunge line, she was even more confused. She watched as Kayla pushed Marya into a canter, and waited until there was enough space before she asked Desert to trot. Sitting for a few beats, she slid her leg back and gave him a nudge. "Canter!" she encouraged him, and he lunged forward. Sara was ready for it and rolled her eyes. For a lazy horse, Desert sure was spaz sometimes. Although he'd burst straight into it, Desert's canter was slow and lazy, so Sara pushed him with her legs, encouraging him to go into a nice canter. "There we go buddy," Sara said softly, praising him. He didn't often go into canter this well, and she was counting on him still trying to show off to the other horses. "That's it macho man, keep it up," she murmured with a smile.

Jessie walked Rose to the inside of the others before trotting. She urged Rose forward and at that moment didnt really care how experienced she was or wasnt. She couldnt help but smile as she trotted along the inside of the others, first at a sitting trot, then posting trot. She wanted to know what the lead rope was for but decided to keep the patient act up and ignore it.

After a while of them cantering and trotting, Gena called out, "Come down to a walk and stay at the far side of the ring! Let your horses walk out!" Smiling up to Jessie, she grabbed the lungline and connected it to Rose's bridle. "I am only doing this because Rose is nice at the canter and your trot is very good. Ready?" She would force the girl to canter but she really thought that Jessie could do it if she let herself.

[glow=red,2,300]Kayla[/glow]
I pulled Marya down to a walk, he was in his fast walk, "easy boy" I said and he slowed down to a nice smooth walk, "good boy" I said patting him on the neck, I watched as Gena clipped the lunge on Rose's bridle and then I heard her ask if Jessie wanted to canter, 'she should do it' I thought, and kept an eye on Jessie and Rose to see what they would do.
[glow=red,2,300]
Carrie[/glow]
I watched as the girls pulled their horses back down to a walk, Gena hooked the lunge on Rose's bridle, "huh that's weird my horses name is Desert Rose," I said smiling, "um would you mind if I went and got Rosie out of the trailer?" she asked she wanted to watch the rest of this ride but wanted to get Rosie out of the trailer, "and if you don't mind could I bring her back here so she can see some of the other horses and riders that are here?" I asked getting ready to leave the arena.

Sara settled her weight firmly on Desert's back, and he slowed. That was one of the things Desert did best; slowing down. Sara rewarded him with a longer rein, and walked around the far side of the arena, watching as Gena talked to Jessie. She smiled, and ran her fingers through Desert's mane. "You can do it Jessie," she whispered to herself, watching as Gena clipped the lunge line onto Rose's bridle.

Jessie nodde surely at Gena. "I can try," she said to Gena. She looked at the other girls watching. They seemed to want her to do it. She nodded firmly again, more to convince herself. She shortened Rose's reins to make sure she could steer good while cantering. She already knew it would be scary for her but she would try to do it the best she could. She was determined, and she trusted Rose.

Gena smiled at the girls encuraging her. "Okay. She has a nice canter, just relax. "Standing with her arm out, she flicked the whip, "Canter!" She smiled as the horse pushed into the canter.

[glow=red,2,300]Kayla[/glow]
Kayla smiled wide as Rose went into a canter she was gorgsuse, she watched Carrie leave the arena, and then kept Marya at a walk so she could keep an eye on Jessie she was doing pretty good, "good job Jessie!" she said encurging her friend.
[shadow=red,left,300]Matt[/shadow]
He walked down to the arena he had haerd some people down here, he watched the people riding for a miniut there were three riders two where walking and one was on a lunge line cantering, and when the girl on the red horse called to her, he frowned 'is that Kayla?' he thought, she had been his sisters best friend, and then he walked a little ways into the arena, "excuse me is the owner here?" he asked waiting for a reply.

Sara smiled as Rose went into a canter. She remembered the first time she'd ever cantered, on a stubborn little pony that would do two strides then stop. It was good that Jessie could learn on a horse as good as Rose. She was about to yell out some encouragement as well, but she decided to let Jessie enjoy her first canter without interruption. She absentmindedly stroked Desert's neck, and watched Rose's beautiful canter. As she watched, a random guy walked into the arena. Sara felt sorry for Gena, it must be really busy being the owner of a stable like this, there were visitors every three seconds!

Jessie was surprised at first and bounced a little, but then deepened her seat and shortened her reins. Gena was right, Rose had a really nice canter. Jessie smiled back at Kayla but then looked back immiediately infront of her. Jessie smiled more and talked to Gena while she rode, "I just figured simething out. I like cantering!" she said smiling. Jessie was happy cantering. She was happy that she was doing something she never did before. It was actually fun.

Gena laughed with a relieved smile on her face, "Good! Your doing amazing!" She let Rose make several more laps while she watched Jessie before speaking "walk" and seeing the mare slow.

Matt
he watched the mare slow and then stood at the edge of the arena, "Umm.. hello are you Gena the owner?" he asked waiting to see what was gonna happen next in the arena.
Kayla
she walked Marya around again and when she went past Jessie "that was awesome Jessie, you looked really good" she said moving past her since Marya walked rather fast.

Sara
Sara grinned at Jessie, as Rose slowed back to a walk. "Great job Jessie!" She called out. "You did awesome!" Now that she wasn't so focused on watching Jessie and Rose, Sara nudged Desert with her heels, making him step out and lengthen his stride, instead of just plodding along like he usually did. She still let him walk on a loose rein, but he still flicked his ears in annoyance. "You're so lazy," she muttered to him, rolling her eyes. She looked back at Jessie. She'd had a huge smile on her face while she was cantering; it was obvious that she'd enjoyed it. Sara smiled again to herself. This was turning out to be one of the best lessons she'd ever had, just from watching everyone else enjoy themselves.
Daniel
Once Daniel had left the barn, he looked over at the arena and saw Matt standing at the edge. Gena was inside the arena, holding a long rope attached to a beautiful horse. The horse's rider had a big smile on her face. Daniel jogged down and joined Matt at the edge of the arena. "Hey," he said quietly. When he looked up again, Dan realised there were two other girls riding in the arena as well. Not for the first time, he wished that he knew how to ride. He didn't even know how to look after Tag properly. He sighed to himself, but didn't call out to Gena; she was busy, and he could talk to her later. He leaned against the fence and watched the lesson.

MATT
"oh hey" he said in a low voice as Dan walked up to the arena, and then pointing to Kayla, "I know her from where I used to live, she was my twin Trish's best friend" he said watching her walk Marya around the arena and call out to Jessie, and when she did he laughed a little, she didn't usally epress herself that much to people she didn't really know.

Gena looked over to the boy who was calling to her, "Yeah, hi! Could you take your practice ride tomorrow? It is kind of crazy here!" She laughed and looked back to Jessie with Rose.
MOLLY
Molly walked to the ring and saw two boys that looked pretty good from her distance. Blushing, she walked closer and stood beside them. "Hey, I'm Molly. I don't think I have ever seen you before." She looked at them both and blushed again for talking.
(If either one of you wants to have them go out, we could have a plot going ^^)

Jessie patted Rose while she walked around. "That was actually really fun!" she said to gena. She smiled again and still patted Rose.
(DUDE! I wanna make a guy charrie and have a relationship! XD)

Sara
Sara looked up when Gena called out to the guy outside the arena. Now there was ANOTHER guy there. She laughed a little to herself when Gena said how crazy it was. By the time Desert had walked another five steps, yet another visitor came down to the arena, this time a girl. Sara had never been at a stable this busy before. She remembered how grumpy the office lady had been when Sara had first arrived. 'Well now I know why,' she thought to herself.
Daniel
Daniel looked over to the girl in the ring that Matt was pointing at. He couldn't help feeling a little jealous that Matt already knew someone here. Looked like it was just gonna be him and Tag again. Then again, he was used to being alone. He looked up when a girl came and joined them. Dan had always been awkward around people, especially girls, and being homeless and alone for three years hadn't helped. He felt heat crawl up his neck, and looked away. "Hey," he mumbled when she introduced herself. "I'm Dan." He looked back up at the people riding, and then glanced quickly at Molly. "Just got here today," he said, and looked away again.

Kayla
she glanced at the edge of the arena two guys and a girl were standing there, and when she heard the one call out to Gena she frowned 'holy crape that's Matt!' she thought, and kept riding.
Matt
he looked over when he haerd a girl walking up, "Hello I'm Matt, its my plasure to meet you" he said smiling, and running a hand threw his hair, "I got here today" he said and leaning agest the railing he looked over at Gena "yeah no problem, I'm good with tomorrow!' he said and then turning back to the other two next to him, "so how long you been riding here?" he asked Molly.

Gena smiled wide at the girls, "You guys are great! I am going to set up a 2 foot vertical. Those who feel like they can jump it, you can. If you don't, it's alright. You may jump it at a trot or canter." Turning she smiled when she saw Molly, "Hey Molly!"
MOLLY
Molly waved at Gena, "Lots of new riders here!" She turned to the boys, "Nice to meet you! I have been riding her since it was open. So like, a year. Do you two own horses?"

Kayla
she went around the arena and felt a ping of excitment when Gena said they could jump, and she leaned down over Marya's neck "OK boy now you get to show off" she whispered to him, and he flicked his ears and whipped his head pulling at the bit, "we can do that one easy" she said to Marya, and finished walking around the arena while Gena set up the jumps.
MATT
he smiled and nodded "I have one horse Te Amo but I grew up on a horse ranch," he said watching the horses, he never found any point to jumping, western plasure was as far as he would go with showing.

Jessie smiled looking at Kayla's excitement. She stoked Rose again wanting to do something with her hands. "Hmmm..." she thought aloud. She turned to Gena. "Is there anything else you want me to do? Like, anything new or something?" She asked. She suggested pointing to the jump,"I could try to jump that. It would be the highest but now youve got me really motivated." she smiled down at gena.

Sara
Desert flicked his ears toward the jump that Gena was setting up, and Sara groaned inwardly. She was perfectly capable of jumping, but Desert wasn't the best jumper. If he still wanted to show off to the other horses, he might jump nicely though. "You got this, boy," she said softly. Desert let out a low nicker that vibrated through his whole body. "Settle petal," Sara laughed at him, running a hand down his shoulder. She kept him walking around the arena, and he started stepping out without the added encouragement from her legs. Sara smiled a little at her horse. "Well, if you're that excited..." she muttered to him. She stopped urging him forward now that he wasn't trying to stop, and she let him set his own pace. Desert bobbed his head at the release of pressure and nickered again. 'Freak,' Sara thought to herself with a giggle.
Daniel
Daniel knew he couldn't compare to Matt, who'd been around horses all his life. Without looking up, he answered Molly's question. "Yeah, her name's Tag," he said quietly. No point adding anything else. Daniel watched the girls in the lesson, and saw Gena setting up a jump for them. He'd never even sat on a horse, let alone jumped one. 'I'm going to do that one day,' he thought. He imagined what his life could have been like if he'd grown up on a horse ranch like Matt had. He'd be able to ride, for a start. And train horses too. And Tag would be able to do so much more. 'But if I'd grown up on a ranch, I never would have met Tag,' he thought. That thought bumped him back to reality, and he decided to watch the lesson even more closely, to learn as much as he could.

Gena looked up to watch Sara, "Nice!" She laughed when she heard her little word to her horse. Looking at Jessie, she smiled, "Go ahead!" She waited to see how they would do together.
Molly smiled with a blush at Daniel, he was quiet and cute. She turned her head knowing that he didn't feel that way about her and smiled, "Gena? Can I go grab Molly?"
Gena nodded while she watched the riders.
Molly sped off into the barn and moments later, appeared with her horse's reins in her hand. The beautiful liver chestnut morgan mare followed her with her coat almost spotless. Before she entered the ring, she asked the boy, "Can I have a leg up?" She didn't mean it to flirt, she just needed a leg up. Smiling, she knew it sounded like flirting and wished she had phrased it differently. While she waited, she stroked Molly the horse, with her free hand, "Good girl." She knew it was coming when the mare lowered her head and pushed it against her owner, scratching her head up and down. "Like always!" Molly spoke the words with a laugh.

Kayla She smiled as wide as possable, and nudged Marya into a nice trot he moved flaulessy and then with a rock of her body he went into a canter, rocking with him in perfect timing, and seeing it was OK to jump she moved him into postion "easy buddy" she said as he tried to go faster but hearing the words he slowed she pulled him down to a lope and then him canter again, and as they got closer to jump Marya seemed to figure out what he was suppost to be doing and collected him self into a beautiful canter, as he went over the jump, she pushed her self up and then leaned right when he landed he barley made a thud when he landed she pulled him into a collected canter and cirled around to see the others jump, she noticed a new with a horse at the edge of the ring, she said her name was Molly and said her horses name was Molly, it confussed her for a moment. MATT "your horses name is Molly too?" he asked frowning, he looked the horse over, "I'm guessing she is a Morgan?" he asked looking back to her, "she is very pretty and that's a lot coming from me I don't really like horses" he said in a casule tone, "so I don't find many that pretty, but she is defentlly one of the ones I would consider pretty" he said, he was a flirt but he wasn't being one right now, he was just being honest he always liked liver chestnut horses, he smiled at shock his head slightly when she had asked for a leg up, he knew she wasn't flirting but it kinda sounded like it, he smiled at her and her horse, "I'll do it" he said in his normal friendly voice, and walking over to the horse, "ready?" he asked her. (I am so broad there was littery nothing to do today except sleep and use the computer  ) |

Jessie smiled at Gena. "Okay," she said. She brought Rose around in a slow canter, and approached the jump. She deepened her seat and pulled back at the reins a little bit, but quickly noticed her mistake and bringing her hands further up Rose's neck. When they approached the jump, Rose seemed to know exactly what to do. She soared right over it, and Jessie bounced a little, but was mostly fine with her deep seat. She smiled relievingly. "Thank god," she mumbled under her breath. People were watching, adn she would die if she messed up.
(Ugh... I know what you mean...)

Gena smiled as the girls went over the jump, "Nice! Molly, you can jump it too."
Molly smiled and knew he must not usually compliment horses, "Thank you." She moved to the side of her horse and readied herself to be lifted into the saddle. She still felt embarrest for making it sound like flirting.

Sara
Sara grinned as the two others sailed over the jump. "Sweet!" she called out to both of them. She pushed Desert into a trot, making sure he was under control before pushing him into a canter. She turned him to the jump, and squeezed him a bit more with her legs to give him some extra encouragement. 'Please do it, please do it,' she thought to herself. Desert had a bad habit of knocking down jumps, even though if he tried he could jump them easily. She leaned forward and up, her hands moving up Desert's neck as he launched himself up and over, far higher than he needed to jump. Sara wasn't prepared for the huge leap, and tipped forward when he landed. She righted herself again, rolling her eyes at him. He really was putting on a show today,although she wasn't sure if it was to prove he was more manly than Marya, or if he was showing off to Rose. "You're a gelding, dimwit," she reminded him with a sigh. She loved Desert to death, but he really was dopey sometimes.
Daniel
Daniel watched as Matt and Molly chatted. He wished again, over and over, that he knew something, anything about horses, so he could try to impress Molly. He did agree with Matt though, Molly's horse was pretty. "She's really cute," he said, reaching out to stroke the horse's face. "Not as pretty as Tag, though," he added. He immediately stopped patting the horse, and looked away. He couldn't believe he'd practically insulted Molly's horse right in front of her. He watched the girls in the lesson again, they gave him something to focus on besides the fact that he was making an idiot of himself. He watched the three girls, and noticed how all of them leaned forward as their horses jumped. Well, even if he wouldn't be riding for ages, at least he'd learned one thing.
