jump

i had just gotten spirit and i couldnt wait to ride her. she pranced in the cross ties as i groomed and tacked her. when i finished, i led her outside. her ears flicked at everything and she nickered to the other horses. i led her to a mounting block and got her to stay still long enough for me to mount. i nudged her and she walked excitedly toward the trail we were going on. after walking awhile, we trotted and then she started cantering. she was warmed up enough, so i let her. when we got to a pond. i dismounted and let her drink and graze while i sat close by under a tree. after a while, i mounted and we kept going. we came to a part of the trail with a big log, and spirit wanted to jump. she kept staring at it and prancing, so i hought: why not? i nudged her into a canter and she happily went toward the log. with a graceful leap, we cleared it with feet to spare. her landing was easy and smooth. she bobbed her head and nickered excitedly. i turned her around and we jumped it again, even better than the first time. after two more times, it was time to hed back. i galloped her alittle bit, then we walked the rest of the way so she could cool off. after giving her a long grooming and shower, i put her back in her stall where Chandler was sleeping in Spirits hay. Spirit quietly walked up to him and smelled him before eating some of the hay around him. i smiled as i left her stall to excersise my other horses
