*As soon as the steed enters the start box, he is alert, his ears flicking back and forth, excited about going to go jump, but listening for his rider, wanting to be obedient. Amber sits very still in the saddle, although she is relaxed, she counts down in her head from ten. She whispers to Domingo, "three... two... one... let's go." The stallion thrusts off with his powerful hindquarters and they gallop out of the box.*
*Amber half halts on the reins, giving a little leg to back the aid up, getting the horse underneath himself so when the get to the first jump, he'd be collected and balanced. He was still moving forward, but just on a long-strided canter. Domingo sees the jump even before Amber realizes it. He pulls on the reins, but Amber just plays with them and he gives in to her, staying at the same pace. They meet the jump perfectly and glide over the 3'6" oxer with a pit under it. Amber smiles and pats the stallion's neck and he arches it gracefully, all full of himself.*
