"Don't be nervous," I told her with a warm smile. "What would you like to start with first?"

ooc- Kk  Ashton I stook a deep breath. I did some cuirtosy circles with Alex. I broght him into a canter. I kept all my concentraition on the jumps. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 OVER. We sailed over. I breathed. I focused on the next one. I crossed to the center where the next jump was. 4, 3, 2, 1...It was to late. Alejandro had sped up and i didnt slow him down. He knocked the rail off. My cheeks flushed od embarresment and dissapointment. I took another breath and focused on the other jumps. Conttinually checking my form. We glided over the next 6 and clipped 3 and knocked 1. of them.. I was a bit nervouse about the last to. He liked to rush at the end. He attempted to speed up. I slowed him down in time. 3, 2, 1 and over. We clipped it but made it. Onto the last one. I slowed him down a bit in advance anticipating his movements. He sped up a bit but i was still in control. I counted the beats and we sailed over the last jumped. I silently prayed thanking it wasnt like the ride we had in my nightmare. I slowed him down and went to the center. |

I nodded. "We got this" i said to alejandro. I started the course. We did decent on it over all. I clipped a few and knocked one. I kept focus like he said to. I worked on everything he said i needed to. Even if i made the beginner or intermeadiate team "i hope not" i though, I would still learn from this.

Mr. Connor
"Good, now for dressage," I said.
In the arena, she walked her horse to the center. "We're going to start with a posting trot from A to D, then canter D to G."

I nodded. "Yessir" i said. Dressage was my best so i knew we could do this. I eased him into a trot and posted to the beat. When we reached D i squeezed with my legs and speed him into a smooth canter. We were going to the left so it was a left lead.

"Continue doing a posting trot to G, then change your lead and canter from G to A,"

I nodded. I did what he said. I trotted to G. We entered into the Rightlead when we went to A. I wanted to hold my breath out of nervouseness. I noticed my heels riding up and pushed them down quickly.
