Sophia led her Horse Skip into the arena. Although he was a cutter they wanted to try something new. She swung on and waited for any directions.

A smirk came across Natalie's face. It would take much to beat her. After listening to the directions she began the course.
Sit deeper
She heard Mrs. Rockwell yell. Her face imedietly flushed a light red. She did as she was told, using her seat to push Chase forward. It worked he dropped his head and extended his choppy stride. She leaned foward as the neared the first jump. Just before it Chase swerved slightly to the left. They jumped side ways.
Use Your Legs
Natalie heard over then puonding of her horses hoves. She obeyed, using her left leg to get him to bend inward. When they took off they were straight.
Sit back
She was ordered. Natalie did Chance slowed and collected his canter giving them the perfect amount of strides before the jump.

Sophia picked up a canter she turned Skip around. And headed for the first jump. She could feel that Skip did want to jump and wanted to swerve. Sophia kept control and came came into her 2-piont. Just as Skip was about to jump he turned the other directon and missed the jump.

Mrs. Rockwell frowned. "Sophia Learn to control that horse" Her vioce was firm and her face had a strict expression. "Try again" She added collecting her self. "Don't loose focus he'll know when you do"

Sophia wasn't thrilled with her trainer response. but decided to ignore her. She cluched Skip on adn guided him toward the jump uising her aids. Their take-off was late and landing was sloppy but it was better then nothing. Especially for a cutting horse.

Kris cantered into the arena on Jazz. "Sorry I'm late!" she rushed. "It's just I left Jazz out in the pasture then I couldn't find his halter then....."

"Okay." Kris sighed. She turned Jazz to an oxer. They cantered up to the jump as Kris counted the strides. "One, two, three f-" she was cut off as Jazz took the jump but bumped the rail. She cringed and muttered,"Not good strides."

Hannah readjusted her helmet and started to go towards the flower box. She nudged Shine forward, then leaned down slightly, urging shine up over the jump. Shine cleared it easily and they both landed nicely on the other side. Hannah smiled and trotted back to the center to choose her next jump.

Andrew came over to the class, and trotting next to him was his faithful horse Minnie. He had been watching the others for quite some time, and he thought he could pull it off. He mounted himself on Minnie after adjusting the saddle. Minnie started to gallop towards a hurdle, and he collected all of his concentration to urge Minnie to jump. She leaped in the air and gracefully cleared the hurdle. They pulled to a stop and waited for Mrs. Rockwell's response.

hannah rounded up on the oxer, urging shine into a faster trot. she needn't do any more, for shine knew what to do. keeping low, shine's sweet scent surrounding her, hannah and shine cleared the oxer easily.
