Author: Fiona and Superlative
Subject: Schooling.

The large chestnut gelding walks freely into the indoor school on a long rein. She gathers him up once inside, getting him on the bit and her leg. He arches his shiney neck, flexing at the poll. She walks on, changes the rein and walks on the other rein. She then asks him for a trot. His ears shot forwards and he strode out, his long legs giving an immense stride. Fiona kept contant with the reins, added some leg on him and sat down to contain the power she felt beneath her. His smooth pace made it easy to sit to the trot. She barely moved as he glided along. Across the diagonal she increased leg pressure and began to rise high to perform extended trot. Changing the rein she gathere dhim back up, getting him really back on his hocks. In the corner she asked for canter. It was slow, bouncy and powerfull. The canter was slowed to even as slow as a walk, almost in slow motion they circled 20m. Down the long side Fiona lenghtened her reins letting him stretch. The ground eating strides took them around the school in a few seconds. She turned him down the centre line, Squeezed both the reins and her legs. The horse took a perfect flying change on X and began a balanced canter on the other rein. Fiona slowed him down into trot and then walk, finally halt. "Wow!" She said aloud, patting the neck. "The horse was amazing, such a pleasure to ride she thought. To finish she'd take him for a short ride through the woods she decided.
