(ooh that's me!) DRESSAGE. Josh warmed Holly up in the practice ring, walking her round a few times, then asking for trot when he felt she was ready. Sitting deep in the saddle, he breathed deeply. He hadn't competed in a while, and, he had to admit, he was nervous. When they announcer called his name, he walked Holly into the ring, halted her dead in the centre, and saluted the judges. He did the went through the course he'd rehearsed so many times in preparation, concentrating fiercly. He mucked up one of the transitions, muttered "d*mn" under his breath, but continued. When they'd done the course, he saluted the judges again, and left the arena, hoping he'd managed to keep his aids soft and his position good. SHOWJUMPING. Josh took Holly over the practice jump - god, she was flying today. When he heard his name called, he turned Holly into the arena, checking out the course of jumps set up. They weren't too high - nothing him and Holly couldn't handle. He trotted her round the ring, attempting to steady the young, excited mare. When the buzzer went, he pushed her on into her steady jumping canter, and turned towards the first jump. They cleared it, and moved on to the second. Before he knew it, they'd done the course, with no faults, but Josh knew that his time hadn't been the fastest. He grinned and patted his mare on the neck. He could only hope he'd done enough. XC. Josh trotted Holly up and down, preparing for their favourite event - Cross Country. When the buzzer went, Josh cantered his mare quickly up to the first jump, allowing her to stretch out over it. He allowed her to go into gallop, though still in control. They cleared all of the obstacles, including a water jump and a fairly big log. He saw the short stretch for the finish line, and leant over Holly's neck, letting her go full pelt through the flags. He sat up and pulled her back, grinning to himself. Definetly their best event so far. (i hope its okay i sorta made up the courses? if not im happy to chage it! (  |

(It's fine!)
Dressage
Molly moved into the ring silently and moved down the middle of the ring remembering to halt and salute. Picking up a collected trot, she asked her mare to bend her neck and pick up her hoofs. In one fluent motion, they were in a rocking canter at the letter A. The canter was speedy yet Molly seemed solid on the mare's back. With a straight face, they continued through the movements fast but well done. When she was finished, she exited the gate after saluting and smiled. "That was amazing girl!" Dismounting, she clung to the horse's neck and fished out a treat for her.
Show Jumping
The large arena was filled with jumps that were all about three feet tall. Molly jumped larger than this sometimes but the jumps still looked haunting. She took a deep breath and moved into the arena. When her time began, they were off in a large leap. Moonview Monopoly stretched her long pillers in front of her liver chestnut body. Sweat collected on her body as they cleared the round with hard turns. At one point the turn was too short and Molly almost fell off but managed to stay on. When finished, Molly cheered and scratched her Morgan. Brilliant.
Cross Country
The sun had begun to beam down harder on the field but the trees would provide some shade. Hand forward and eyes up, Molly waited for the sound. A thunder of hooves went off just bearly after the timer began. People clapped as she set up for the course. They were fast through the course but soon they came to the ditch. The mare slowed down to a trot when seeing it but soon launched herself over it and onto the other side. Picking up a fast gallop, they finished over the line. The sun still landed hard on her shoulders but they had finished and had done well.
