I walked into the barn and over to Dutchess's stall. She
was laying in the corner asleep. I then went over to Sparkle's stall. I gave Sparkle a treat and began to groom her in her stall. I tacked her up and headed for the ring.
I mounted and we began by walking on the rail. After a couple of minutes I asked Sparkle to trot. She moved up to the trot wonderfully. Her hocks where underneath her and
she was looking ahead with her ears forward. Her neck wasn't arched,but it looked nice because she was still on the bit. We did some serpintines and some transitions. I then let her walk for a few min. We then Cantered a few times around the ring before changing directions. Sparkle did the change beautifully. Once more around the ring we cantered and then I let her walk."Good girl! I said. You
are a awsome mare!" I then warmed her up over a small outside line before jumping a 2'6'' course. She was of course, phenominal over the course and jumped it as though it were nothing. I cooled ehr out with a short trailride before I put her away in her stall. By then, Dutchess was awake and I groomed her. I then took her for a walk around the barn. After our walk, Dutchess got to eat some grass before I put her away. "See you soon!" i told both of my horses. "Maybe next time you see me I'll have my new horse with me!" I then left.
