I finished grooming Sparkle and the pretty mare followed me toward the arena. I mounted and walked her around the ring. After a couple of times around the ring at a walk I trotted her. I posted to her smooth trot. I trooted her over some ground poles and then over some small oxers about 3 feet. Then I cantered her over the oxers. She flew over them willingly. When I brought her to a walk she pulled on the reins. I laughed and settled her down. I cantered her over some larger oxers and then a small liverpool. Next a chicken coop, then another oxer. After completing that course I cooled her out and put her in her stall, after I untacked her and groomed her. Next I groomed and tacked up my palamino mare, Sunset. She calmly obeyed me and we headed to the trails. I trotted her on th flat parts, she skittered a little but calmed down when she heard my voice. After a couple of miles we come to a straight stretch like a field. I decided to canter her. I pushed her into a slow canter and she responded eagerly. The field ended to soon and I slowed her down. I turned her around and we headed home. When we got back I groomed, and untacked her and put her in her stall. Then I gave her some feed. I also gave Sparkle some!
