Before Roxanne passed her brother, she pulled her horse up and raised an eyebrow. "What do you want?" He just laughed. " I'm watching you, it's not a crime." With a grin, he added, "You need to put your stirrups up a hole," he said. Roxanne trotted off with a huff, ignoring his comments. At the corner she picked up a canter, sitting it easily and turning Rio on a circle at the other end of the ring. Andrew glanced over to Kaleigh and her horse at the sound of its hoof banging the poles. He stayed by the gate for a few minutes longer, then went back into the barn, grabbing a water bottle from the office.

Jessica mounted up on Jeana and asked for a walk. Jeana rears up and tryes to go back to the barn "Oh no you don't!" said Jess. Then Jeana went along like an angel until a cat ran across their path and then Jeana explodes and Jessica hangs on and makes Jeana trot and then Jeana is perfect at the canter and over the 2'6'' jumps. Then Jess tosses the reins to the groom and tells them to tack up Abby. While she's waiting she goes into the lounge and gets a drink and eats a cookie!

Kaleigh grimaced when Andrew left. He was a good friend, and she found him quite attractive. But she was going to let her anger out on her horse, and instead took the poles one last time. This time Minnie cleared them, and Kaleigh gave her a cue for an extended trot. And just as they came only a few strides away from a 3' vertical, Kaleigh's mare broke off into a canter. With her knees tucked up, Minnie cleared the jump with room to spare.

Andrew decided that he needed to go ahead and school Sean for the day, so he left the office. He tacked up the black gelding quickly, keeping it simple with just a half pad, martingale, and Eskadron boots for theh orse. He put on his custom half chaps, preferring them to tall boots, and his GPA, then walked out to the ring Shannon was riding in. He pulled down his stirrups and mounted, setting off at a walk. Sean immediately dropped down onto the bit, his stride slightly compressed with energy.

Mia finished cantering around the ring, and slowed her horse to a halt. She glanced back at Mandy. "Want to go on the cross country course?" She asked still feeling energized.

"Sure," Mandy responded to Mia. "Let's just do beginner novice though, I don't think Sunny can jump much higher than 2'9"! He's a small pony!" Mandy cantered Sunny over a few low crossrails and verticals to warm up, and then lead the way, trotting to the cross country course.

"Agreed." Mia answered, and clicked Ellie into a canter to catch up to Mandy. Once they were side by side, she slowed her mare down to a trot. "I'm thinking of starting to compete in some cross country shows, just to try it out with Elite," She said, using Ellie's show name.

Andrew nudged Sean into a trot, circling the big gelding several times to try and get him to relax. After a quarter of an hour, he decided that it was going nowhere, so he had a better idea. He went back into the barn and put his Veredus front and hind boots on the gelding, then went out to the cross country course. Staying a distance away from the younger girls, he let the gelding lose some of his energy by trotting to the bases of some of the large jumps and after a few minutes longer, a long gallop in a straight line.

While waiting for Mandy's reply, Mia examined Andrew's jumping. He seemed confident as he and his geldings soared over the jumps, with great energy. As he galloped, Mia watched in awe as they raced by.
