Kerry led Kestrel out to the mounting block and got on. She walked the pinto gelding in aimless circles, waiting for Erin and her horse.

Erin smiled, happy that Kerry had agreed, and quickly fetched Flash's tack. Scooping up a hard brush and hoofpick, Erin accuartely groomed her horse, before nestling his tack upon his back. Once the bit was in, and her helmet was strapped on, Erin mounted her gelding, and trotted over to Kerry.
"Would you like to go on the jumping trail?" Erin asked, as she circled Flash, who was getting impatient.

Once back at a full canter, Logan aimed Apollo for the Sweedish oxer again, and this time his gelding cleared the jump with ease. Smiling in a boasting way, he trotted over to Blair.

"Let's go!" Kerry agreed, nudging Kestrel into a canter. The gelding snorted and pulled for more rein, stretching his neck out and kicking his heels up happily. As they approached the first jump, a simple brush, Kes quickened his step and pricked his ears eagerly. He jumped long and landed hard with a buck. Kerry pulled her horse up, waiting for Erin.

Grinning, Erin clucked Flash into a fast canter. The brush was a smaller jump, and her gelding practically popped over it. Laughing Erin, pulled her horse to a walk next to Kerry's.
"I'm so excited, this afternood my parents scheduled a Internationl Team Rider to come give me a private lesson." Erin said, nudging Flash then into a slow trot.

"Wow." Kerry felt slightly jealous. Her family could never afford that. "You're so lucky;" and she meant it when she said it. Trying hard not to show her envy, she looked ahead to the next jump, a wall. "Race you!" she called, kneeing Kes into a gallop.

Nudging her horse into a gallop, Erin raced across the jump. She slowed her gelding down and faced Kerry.
"The rider said I could have another person join me, and I surely don't want my brother to, so how about you?"

Blair smiled as Logan came back over. "Nice job," she said, acting as if she wasn't unduly impressed. She then trotted off sans stirrups, her eq remaining flawless. Finally, the equitation and jumper trainer, Andrew, came into the ring, and after saying hello to Logan, he had Blair pick her stirrups back up and serpentine at the canter.

Kerry was taken aback. "What?" she gasped. "Me? I couldn't possibly- I mean- how could I pay you back?"

"You don't need to," Erin said smiling.
"Just promise me you'll do it?"
