Cassie nodded fiercely and tried to sit back, her back resting against the saddle. "Hey, it is pretty comfy." She clicked with her tongue, and asked Skylar to walk on. The mare obeyed. moving on into a nice smooth walk.

Cassie nodded, then pushed Skylar on into trot. She just sat there - it was pretty easy to just stay in the saddle. "Um.. I'm nos supposed to rise, right?"

Cassie nodded. She'd been cantering since she was six, how hard could it be? She clicked her tongue and squeezed gently with her heels, adn Skylar rocked into canter. Cassie sat there and pushed a little with her seat, hoping she was doing it properly.

"You could try the barrels," Taylor said, pointing to the three barrels set up at the far end of the ring. "Just gallop toward each barrel, but slow down to a canter when you go around the barrels."

Cassie grinned. Now this was exciting. She turned Skylar and squeezed. She sequeezed again, and Skylar took off. Cassie managed to steady her round the first barrel, then they raced to the next one. Finishing, she steadied her and walked over to Tay, breathless. "Wow, that's cool!"

Taylor slipped her foot in the stirrup and settled onto the western saddle. She kicked Skylar forward, letting her canter. She slowed her up around each barrel, then would let her shoot away after going around them.
