I mounted Flash ad she pranced under me. She NEVER does that. She must be picking up on my stress.

I rode into the indoor arena, Shaq tacked up in his beautiful black Dressage saddle, white saddle pad, and black bridle. I wore fawn-color breeches, black paddock boots, a deep red polo shirt, along with black leather gloves. “Ready, boy?” I asked, sticking one foot into the stirrup and swinging into the saddle. I asked for a trot around the arena and he did so. Soon I asked for a trot, and eventually an extended trot. I patted his neck and we never lost rhythm. Soon I told him to canter and we did, although after a while I finally pulled back and let him walk. “Good boy, Shaq.” I praised him, reaching down to rub his neck.

Flash reared and I almost fell "Quit it" I muttered to her "Just chill"

The other girl's horse reared and she nearly fell. I trotted Shaq over to her. "Are you ok?" I asked her

"Yes!" I snapped "She's never like this." I kicked her to a trot and she nervously pranced

I back up Shaq. "Ok." I replied, bringing him back to the wall. I kept a nervous eye on the pair

Flash picked up a canter/gallop and I couldn't pull her back to the trot for a few minutes.

I made sure I didn't get into the girl's way, and did a flying lead change. Shaq exicuted it perfectly, and I beamed

I got her to move to the center and just halted her, waiting for her to calm down

I took my place back on the rail and trotted Shaq around a bit

Flash kept freaking out so I dismounted and walked her around the rail until she reared and tore the reins out of my hands "Flash" I yelled after her "Loose horse"

I looked up to see the girl's horse running straight at Shaq and I. Instead of running away from her, I turned Shaq straight at her, stood our ground, and I started waving my hands at her. The horse skidded to a stop.

I walked up to Flash and grabbed her reins "She's a reiner." I told the girl "Thanks"

"No problem. I've had a lot of horses do that in lessons, so my instructor just told me to basically look retarded." I joked.
