Roxanne walked out to the ring a bit later, holding Rio's reins loosely. She pulled down her stirrups, checked the girth, buckled the strap of her helmet and then lithely boosted herself into the saddle. She let him walk on a loose rein for a few minutes but then nudged him into a trot, finding a place on the rail and hoping everyone knew to stay out of their way.

Mia glared at Roxanne, who happened to be one of her enemies, in the show ring and in just plain general. She cantered Ellie up near Rio, and looked over at her. "Watch where you're going with that nag," Mia said, before clicking her horse into a faster canter, and sped infront of them, kicking sand up as they flew past.

"You watch it, kid," Roxanne replied, rolling her eyes and encouraging Rio on. The horse was unfazed. Ah, the days of being a pony kid... Roxanne had never understood what made the Mia tick, so instead she just ignored her. When she neared the gate, she leaned down and unlatched it, walking Rio out and heading towards the indoor ring, annoyed. Maybe if it hadn't been a kid, she would have done more.

Mia smiled, and rolled her eyes at Roxanne. Ha! She had won. Still grinning, Mia took the 3' course effortlessly.

(He can hang out with the girls! lol)
Kaleigh swung up into her saddle, and took a notice of Roxanne who was also joining her in the indoor arena. She gave a warm smile, liking the tranquil silence, before moving her horse into a walk.

Roxanne resumed a trot, letting Rio go on a loose rein... they weren't schooling anything, so Roxanne worked on her equitation, alternating between sitting trot, a two point, and other excercises. She worked around Kaleigh, if only because she would run out of rings to ride in. After passing by the door that led into the barn, she spotted her brother who had just walked in and she raised an eyebrow. Usually he wasn't even up this early.
Andrew walked into the stable, setting his stuff on his trunk. He knew his sister was around somewhere, so he walked outside, but only saw a few of the younger kids. Walking back inside, he headed to the indoor. Once there, he leaned on the gate, staring Roxanne down with a grin on his face. She hated to be critiqued, especially by him.

Shannon asked Sunny for a canter, and her mare cantered around for a few laps easily, and Shannon turned her into the center for a flying lead change.
Mandy laughed at Mia's keep up comment, saying "I will." Champ moved up to a medium canter, dropping behind. Shannon smacked him into a fast canter, and then her small pony kept up easily.

Kaleigh grinned when she saw Andrew had arrived, and gave a soft squeeze to Minnie, who instantly broke into a trot. She turned her mare, to work on a few serpenties, watching out to not interfere with Roxanne. After finishing, Kaleigh sent her horse over a set of trotting poles, grimacing when Minnie's back hoof banged against the final pole. "Focus," Kaleigh murmmered to her horse, turning her back around to take the poles again.

Mia had just finished the course, and called a stablehand who was passing by, over to raise the jumps to 3'3. The young boy granted her request, raising the 8 jumps. Smiling, and giving him a soft thank you, before soaring over the course.
