Carrie walked into the ring and looked around, she wondered when she should start the show jumping lessons, she didn't have anything to do right then, she went over to the pile of new jumps at the side of the ring and mentally figured some course options.

Lucy cantered into the arena."Hey."She said as she passed Emily."Glory and I went on a trail ride, and she is warmed up and ready for jumping!I need a lesson badly though!"Lucy smiled as she slowed Glory and trotted on the left lead around Emily in a small circle.
ooc:Rob asked me out!!

ooc:oh yeah, lol-but this is private training for a competition, tho, rite?
Lucy watched her and let Glory sniff the first ump when she'd gottne it set up.Then she turned her away and worked on transitons on the right lead from a walk to canter.

Lucy started to canter Glory as she said "Okidokie!".Lucy asked her to canter a figure eight across the arena, and then did X-shaped flying lead changes.She messed up the first two by giving the wrong signals, but got the rest of them okay.

Good job, i liked the way you knew what to do when you messed. Carrie was happy and perky and acted more like 17 then 22. Can you take her over the crass rail first then come back to me and I'll tell you the course. she said pointing to a 3 foot cross rail.
occ:Sorry i forgot how high she can jump, I'm clueless sometimes.

ooc:its cool-we jumped a five footer o Rickety Log trail the other day
Lucy nodded and cantered towards the three foot rail. Glory got excited and galloped recklessly, but Lucy took her under into a hand gallop.She counted the strides in her head and took off exactly right.She jumped perfectly.

good but you got to watch the loose reins, i know you know that just a reminder, ok the course is the brush then the rail and the wall, gate, then back around to the wall and over the brush, the jumps range from 3 feet to 4 foot 2. she explained pointing out each jump.

"Okay, got it. My reins are too loose?I've been thinking they were just a bit tight for when she jumps.But, maybe that's over the larger jumps when she stretches out more."Lucy questioned. To her horse she said, "Let's go Glory!Make me proud baby."Lucy nudged her and Glory spurred to life as they cantered towards the brush jump.They took off a little early and landed after just clipping the top of the jump.They hand galloped the rest of the course, and got most of the timing's right.

no just before the last jump they were. she said then watched her go around. that was good but i want you to do it again and just do it steady at a canter and really concentrate on your take off like you did last time after the first couple of fences. Carrie said.

"Okay.I think I need to loose this crop-"she held up a lack bat."-because its making her nervous."Lucy handed it to Emily befor trotting the mare towards the first jump.She foucused on her take off point, and when it felt right, she squuezed and took off.She pushed Glory into a canter and asked for a slower pace.She sat back too far after the second jump, and almost got left behind.On the next few jumps, she corrected herself and jumped clean.

CARRIE TOOK THE BAT AND WATCHED (Sorry caps) That was good I like the was you corrected yourself, then she set up a double ok this should help you with your timing, theres 3 strides in between, if thats too much to start tell me because I'm not sure about how you guys have been jumping. but remember to count the strides and you'll do just fine/ she said smiling.

Lucy nodde dand cantered towards the jump again.She counted three strides, but that was too little for her 17.1 hh mare.Lucy frowned and trotted back to Carrie."I know she's tall, but thereare going to be jumps in competition that are less than that many strides.How can I get her to take smaller strides in between?"Lucy put her hand on her stomach and looked down.She had a bit of a belly coming, and it wasn't from eating.

she wasn't sure what was wrong with her belly but she decided to ignore it, ok umm trot him until 5 steps before then ask for a canter usually they will go into short strides, then it's just your job to hold her at that speed. she said still wondering about the hand on the belly.
