Tom led Cola down to the jumping ring, some nervous energy bubbling inside him. He hadn't jumped his pony since he'd been at Starry Skys, and he wasn't sure how Cola would take it. Before, Tom had jumped the pony a little, not too high since he was only young and not really tall. Every other time they'd jumped together, Cola had gotten it pretty much all right. Tom was hoping they'd have the same success here.
He walked into the ring, tightened Cola's girth and then mounted up, looking over the ring at the few jumps he'd set up earlier. The highest was just over two feet, a vertical. Tom pushed Cola into a walk, pulling the pony's head to the outside as Cola fought against the bit and tossed his head around. "Cut it out, kiddo!" he said, finally getting Cola to walk forwards. "That's it bud," he praised as Cola walked on smartly. The little roan chomped on the bit as they circled the ring, bouncing in a happy walk. Tom laughed and rubbed the pony on the neck. "Good boy," he said, nudging Cola into a trot to continue warming up.

After quickly tacking up Chance, Maya led her horse out of the border's barn, and towards the jumping ring. The large bay pony swung her head up and down as they approached the jumping ring. She walked in and saw a boy on an adorable pony and smiled. "Do you mind if I ride to?" Maya asked.

Tom looked up and saw a girl with a bay horse coming down to the ring. He smiled and nodded. "Sure," he said to her. "I'm Tom by the way, and this is Cola." Tom rose to Cola's trot and then turned him for some trotting poles laid out on the ground. The pony trotted over them without clipping a single one, and Tom smiled. "Good boy!" he murmured, rubbing Cola's neck. He did the same thing again a couple more times, then aimed Cola for a small cross jump. The pony tossed his head a couple of times and tried to break into a canter, but Tom kept him trotting, at the last minute giving him a small nudge with his legs to make Cola jump. The little roan bounced over the cross and broke into a smooth canter afterwards. Tom guided him a little way around the ring then brought him back down and stopped him near the girl and her horse. "What's your name?" he asked her, smiling and rubbing Cola's neck at the same time. The pony pricked his ears and whinnied to the girl's horse, bobbing his head excitedly.

Maya smiled. "Okay. Thanks!" She said and led Chance over to the mounting block. She stopped her next to it, gathered the reins and hopped on. She settled her feet into the stirrups and walked on a few times around the ring. "Oh, my name's Maya, and this is Chance." She told him and moved her mare into a flowing trot.

(breyergirl, first you'll have to PM Supernora, the owner of this site and ask her if you can. If she says you can roleplay horses, then you'll have to create them in the joining board and wait for them to be accepted before you can roleplay with them.)
Tom smiled. "Nice to meet you," he said to her. Cola nickered to Chance again, and Tom laughed. He watched as they trotted around the ring, and once there was enough space between them he pushed Cola into a trot and followed. The pony tucked his head down and bucked, making Tom sigh. "Not now kiddo," he said. Usually he put up with Cola's antics, but Tom wanted a serious working session today. He turned the roan towards the same cross, and sat to Cola's trot, then pushed the pony into a canter. The little gelding snorted and rushed forwards, but Tom checked him and kept him cantering smoothly. He bounced a little with the pony's choppy gait, but smiled when Cola bounced up and over the cross perfectly. He let Cola canter a few more strides then brought him back down to a trot, around and over the trotting poles again, and then aimed him for a small vertical. Cola tossed his head warily, eyeing the jump. Tom kept his legs on the pony, pushing him forward with his seat. Cola snorted and tried to veer off to one side, but Tom guided him back over towards the middle of the jump. Cola squealed and leaped it, landing hard on the other side and bucking twice. Tom laughed, and rubbed the pony's neck reassuringly. "It's okay, kiddo," he said, stroking Cola's bay neck. "Good boy." He let Cola walk around the ring, and he watched Maya and Chance to see if they would jump as well.

Maya smiled back at Tom. "You too!" She called back to him. Chance and Maya trotted a few times around the ring before Chance got impatient and bolted into a canter. Maya calmly started to spin her in circles, making her wait one more lap before she asked for a canter. Chance smoothly flowed around the ring. Maya asked her for a hand gallop on the sides of the ring, and her bay mare extended her stride, taking up the ground faster and faster until they reached the end of the ring. Maya pulled her up and walked her, letting her rest before they trotted over a cross rail.

Tom smiled and watched Maya and Chance canter around the ring. He always ended up in a ring with horses that moved super smooth. Cola tossed his head and snorted, then rose in a half rear, tossing his mane. Tom laughed, laning forward on the pony's neck to bring him back down to the ground. "Come on then kiddo," he laughed to his pony, pushing him forward. Cola nickered to Chance, and burst into a canter. Tom pulled him back down, sat to his trot and then asked the pony into a nice canter. Cola squealed and ducked his head down, but Tom yanked his head back up before he could buck. "Cola, quit it," Tom growled, aiming the cheeky pony towards another cross, a bit higher than the last one. Cola kicked up his heels and sped up, flying over the jump excitedly. "Good boy, I guess," Tom said, finding himself thrown forward in the saddle. Cola nickered to Chance again, apparently proud of himself. Tom rolled his eyes. "Chill out, spastic," he muttered to his prancing pony.

Maya laughed as the pony started nickering to Chance. Chance lifted her head up and responded with a whinny. "Chance!" Maya said laughing and they cantered towards the next jump, a small vertical. After the jump she threw a small buck, getting antsy when she was close to Cola. "Hey. Stop that." Maya said to her mare as she turned her in circles. She finished a third circle, satisfied Chance was calmed down, and cantered towards another jump.

Tom rolled his eyes as Cola enthusiastically bucked when Chance replied to him. He watched as Maya took the vertical with ease, and he felt a little bad that she had to jump so small because of Cola. "Do you want to raise any of the jumps a bit for you and Chance?" he called to her. Cola trotted around the ring, finally behaving, so Tom pushed him into a smooth canter and aimed him for the same vertical that Maya had just jumped. "Come on," he muttered, more to himself than Cola. The pony slowed before the jump, unsure, but decided to try it and leaped over the jump. Tom grinned, leaning over the roan's neck. Cola landed in a canter, and Tom didn't pull him back, instead turning him for a cross rail on the other side of the ring. Cola cantered towards the jump, ears pricked, and bounced over it perfectly. Tom smiled, then pulled the pony down to a trot, hugging him around the neck. "Good job kiddo!" he said happily, rubbing the pony's shoulder to praise him.

Maya looked at Tom and smiled. "You were here first! We'll keep the jumps this high. I'm in a sorta lazy mood today." She said and pat Chance on the neck. She cantered over a line, but Chane, being a flirty mare, whinnied in the middle, and messed up her striding. She took a very short spot, and chipped the pole. It shook in the cup, and Maya looked back at it, pleading it to stay. The pole shook once more, then settled back in the cup. "Thank god." She said laughing.

Tom smiled in appreciation. "Thanks," he grinned to Maya. He watched as Chance knocked the pole, and laughed along with Maya when it didn't fall. "Nice save," he said with a laugh. Pushing Cola forwards, Tom directed the pony over two crosses set up as a bounce. "Your first bounce kiddo," Tom murmured, stroking Cola's neck. The little roan cantered towards the jumps, and he did indeed bounce over them. He jumped the first one lovely, then took off almost immediately, leaping huge over the second. Tom was jolted forwards, and he laughed as Cola skidded to a halt after the bounce and snorted. "Good boy," Tom laughed, ruffling the pony's mane.

"Thanks to you too." She said with a smile. Maya watched Tom as he took Cola over the bounce laughing. She followed them over the bounce, doing it nicely. They trotted over to another cross and jumped over it before cantering back to Tom and Cola.

Tom smiled, and watched Maya and Chance take the jumps. Cola snorted, making Tom laugh. "I know boy, I know," he said. He smiled at Maya as she rejoined him, then turned Cola around and began to ride in the other direction. He pushed the pony into a trot, then a canter, ignoring the rocking bucks as the pony changed gait. Keeping Cola in a canter, Tom aimed him for a vertical. Right before the jump he tightened his legs, giving Cola a small "Up!" as the pony reached the jump. Cola took it without blinking, and Tom grinned. "Good job kiddo," he smiled, rubbing Cola's bay shoulder.

"I just gotta say, Cola must be one of the cutest ponies I've ever seen." Maya randomly commented. She giggled and watched as Tom took his roan pony over a vertical. After they successfully made it over, Maya cantered over it and turned to a bounce. Chance decided to be hyper, and jump over the whole thing as a spread, throwing Maya a bit off balance. Maya just smiled and pat her mare's neck.

Tom laughed. "He's a special kid," he said with a grin, proudly patting his pony's neck. "But thanks." He watched as Chance leaped the bounce, and laughed. "I think she's jealous," he grinned to Maya. He looked around for another jump, and spotted a slightly higher oxer. He pushed Cola onwards, towards it, determined. Cola snorted but pricked his ears at the jump. He tossed his head and burst into a lovely canter as soon as Tom asked him too, and leaped to try and clear the jump. As they were coming down to land, Cola's back hoof clipped the pole and knocked it down. The pony snorted and bucked as he landed, spooked. "It's okay, kiddo. Good boy," Tom soothed him. He kicked his feet out of the stirrups and dismounted, leading Cola over to the jump and putting the pole back. Cola eyed the oxer warily, but sniffed it and then ignored it. Tom smiled, and remounted him, circling him again. "Come on buddy," he encouraged the pony as they cantered up to it again. Cola surged forwards before the jump, and with an added squeeze from Tom's legs, he managed to clear the jump without touching it. Tom smiled at him, pulling the pony back to a walk and circling the arena. "There we go boy," he said happily to Cola. "I think he's had enough for today," he called to Maya. He continued to walk Cola around the ring, to warm him down.

Maya smiled and laughed. She frowned when Cola clipped the pole, but that was quickly replaced as the two went over again, clearing it nicely. "Good job getting him over it!" She said to Tom before cantering over it. Chance trotted over to where Cola was whinnying happily. "I think she's done too." Maya said, walking her mare around a bit.

(Breyergirl, you have to wait until your characters have been accepted before you can play them. I know you've put them in the joining board, but you must use the application that is provided.)
Tom laughed. "He tries his best," he said with a smile, running a hand through Cola's mane. "Nice!" he said as Maya and Chance took the jump. Cola responded to Maya's horse, tossing his head and nickering happily. Tom laughed. "Yeah, yeah kiddo," he said. He smiled to Maya. "Hey, wanna go for a trail ride to cool them down?" he suggested.
