Elizabeth slowly walked Skye into the ring, Skye's long jet black mane flowing in the slight breeze. Elizabeth's blonde ringlets tangled slightly but not enough to worry about.
"So girl, what do you think of this new place then?" Elizabeth asked her horse as she smiled, "It's a new ring as well but I'm sure we'll get used to it soon enough."
And with that Elizabeth tied up Skye on a nearby post and began to study the jumps silently before going and lowering the first jump to three foot and highering the rest to a range of six foot to nine foot.
They hadn't been doing nine foot for long but she knew that Skye picked things up quick enough to be capable of doing it well.
Without speech Elizabeth mounted Skye before tightening the girth and whispering in her ear.
"I'll give you a banana lik-it if you can clear this round by the end of today, what do you think?" Elizabeth whispered although she knew that, being the nice girl that she was, Skye would probably get one anyway for trying her hardest.
Instantaniously Skye started on as Elizabeth squeezed on the girth with her feet. She then squeezed again and Skye went into trot. After a few laps of trot, she kicked into canter and made her way towards the four foot jump, her body moving in motion with Skye's.
They flew over the first jump together with ease as well as the six foot to eight foot jumps.Then they came accross the nine foot one. As they approached Elizabeth gave Skye an extra kick on for support before kicking just behind the girth and raising her bottom off the saddle. Smiling, they landed again without knocking a single pole.
"I thought it'd take longer so well done," she whispered in Skye's ear before dismounting and feeding her a lik-it, "Banana, your favourite."

Elizabeth smiled as she saw another girl and a beautiful horse over at the other side of the ring. She always loved making new friends. It was in her nature.
"Hey, I'm Elizabeth but you can call me Eliza, what about you?" she shouted over to the girl, smiling one of her infamous infectious smiles that could get the whole of London smiling.
Skye was getting a bit frisky at the sight of a new horse after being withdrawn from them for so long on the journey. She had finished the lik-it by now and it was starting to get into her system. It didn't affect her performance but Skye was always quite frisky after a banana lik-it.
"What's your horse's name?" Elizabeth added, "This is Moonlit Skye but you can call her Skye."

"Sure!" Elizabeth replied and mounted before starting on.
After a lap of trot she realised that Abbey probably had different jumping preferences to her.
"How high should we have the jumps?" She asked.

Abbey sat to a trot while she thought"hmmm,well,can we maybe sart at 5ft and build up,its just that english isnt ivys main discipline,his is western,but he can jump up to about 8ft6."

"Cool, I'll get them put down," Eliza dismounted before tieing Skye back up on the post and lowering the jumps to the requested hights.
8"6' was the highest jump they did in the last competition and Skye managed to clear it brilliantly so she wasn't worried. After remounting Skye she started to trot around the arena again before starting into a canter.
"Do you want to go first?" She shouted over to the other side of the arena as the air resistance blew her hair uncontrolably.

Abbey looked at the jumps ranging from 5ft to 8ft 6.She tuned a couple of corners then asked ivy for a canter.He took the canter on the right leg and headed for the first jump,a 5ft6 spread.Ivy lined up perfectly,he took of at the right time and cleared the jump with miles of room.
Abbey asked him to go to the next in the course:a 6ft3 hog.

Eliza smiled at Abbey. She was doing brilliantly. Although Eliza knew that Skye could probably clear it in a symetrical pattern, she knew that Abbey and Ivy had tremendous talent.
"Well done!" She shouted over at them.
That was before she realised that they had cleared the jump with too much room to spare. They were going to end up knocking down a pole on the next one. There wasn't enough room not to.

Abbey knew what eliza was thinking,that they would knock off the next pole.Abbey proved her thoughts wrong.She stteered ivy away form the jumop after the hog and went torwards a 6ft6 upright.She jumped it easily,but not with miles to spare,but she still jumped it easily.

Eliza smiled as Abbey made a difficult procedure to move to a different one. She really hoped that Abbey made a clear round.

"That was great! I feel pressurised to try and do as good as you!" Eliza said truthfully before kicking Skye on faster and heading towards the first jump. They cleared it with ease before clearing the second one. The jumps were in a completely different hight order to what Eliza and Skye were used to but they were doing well so far. That was until they got to the third jump of course.
A crow landed on the top pole just as they approached it, making Skye more confused than ever. Just as they got to it Skye reared and Eliza fell of backwards onto her back.
Unlike what most people would do, Eliza just laughed. She couldn't think of a more obscene situation for Skye to rear in.
"Skye, it's only a crow, you usually jump them" she rolled over in hysterics.

Abbey smiled and laughed when she realised that eliza was.She slowly led ivy over at a walk.Ivy got excited and broke into a trot and went in circles,prancing around.Abbey laughed and watched as eliza got up.She asked for ivy back to a walk and her marwari obeyed silently.Abbey then turned ivy towards the jump that was set away from the main course.The jumpwas a 9ft 6 double oxer.Abbey led ivy around it in a nice steady trot then started a nice extended canter.Not knowing what would happen.Abbey closed her eyes as they were in midair.Feeling the landing,she opened her eyes and sat back down inot the saddle and returned down to a trot,walk then a perfect square halt.

"That was great!" eliza exclaimed, still laughing, "It was practically a perfect jump!"
Eliza mounted Skye before trotting to check that she was Ok and halting.
"So, do you want to have a go now then?"

"No problem," I replied, "I guess I'd better have a go now then,"
I smiled at her before kicking on Skye. We jumped over the first jump with ease, symetrical. I had to do a symetrical jump for a dressage exam once.

Next Eliza soared over the second jump with only an inch to spare. It was a close jump.
Then she attempted one of the larger ones. Skye jumped it with a few inches to spare but it wasn't idealically symetrical.

"'k!" Eliza shouted to her before turning and heading towards the 8ft 6 jump. It wasn't one of the highest they'd done and she jumped it almost perfectly. Well, it would have been perfect if Skye hadn't have let out and enormous whinney half way over it.
