Holly and I ran into the barn.We got out our stuff and got our horses ready. We led Mini and Flick out to the ring. Holly mounted Mini and I mounted flick. We walked on the rail for a while. "Go what speeds I'm going,ok?" I said to my little sister. "Ok." she replied. I walked another time around the ring before trotting. Flick was on the bit and in good form. I was trying to keep my hands and lower legs still. Holly saw me trotting and picked up her trot. She sat 2 bounces to change her diagonal. She could now feel her diagonal. Mini was on the bit and in good form too. Holly's heels weren't down as far as they should have been but she was trying. I did lots of circles on my horse. He was being so good. Mini and Holly trotted by us. "Hi!" Holly said as she trotted by. I said hi too. I trotted a bit more and then walked. "Canter Holly!" I yelled out. She cantered and got the right lead too. She cantered around a few times before it was my turn. Flick was a bit frisky, he thought we were going to race someone. I wouldn't let him take off though. I did a simple change across the diagonal of the ring and walked after going 1 around the ring. Holly and Mini reversed and cantered the new direction. Mini was looking good. She walked after a bit and it was my turn. I did the same thing as her. I then walked a bit later, with a calmer,tired Flick. I sat up trotting poles for me and a crossrail for Holly. Holly was jumping really well. She had good timing and a natrual balance. Flick trotted over the poles beautifully. He was a natrual jumper, and I was privaleged to own him. Holly and I cooled out on a short trailride. When we got back we untacked and hosed off our horses. We let them graze a bit before putting them in their stalls. I fed the barn for mom. Holly helped too. We watered and did stalls. We then went back up to the house..
