Elizabeth I led Lea into the arena and halted her before lowering my stirrups on both sides. I collected my reins in my left hand and stuck my foot in the stirrup and swung on. I took my reins in my hands, leaving my pinky out, and brushed my heels on Lea's sides. She walked foreword obedently, her gait foreword moving and her neck and head in position for a free walk. I moved my hips with her, my hands light. After a lap, I collected my reins, moving Lea into a working walk. I could feel her collection and could see her head; it was vertical. I knew she looked perfect. After a half a lap, I used my seat to moved her into a trot. I sat to her collected gait and used my legs and seat to guide her. I had her do a leg yield across the arena, then switch directions as X, going back to the rail. As soon as we got back to the rail, Lea moved into the canter after taking me ever-so-slight cue. Her gait was rocking-horse-smooth and I loved it. I kept her collected and foreword moving, reaching, down the rail. |

Bored I walkde into the stable, and instantly cross tied ever tall Fire. I brushed him over, and not quite ready to tack up yet, I braided his mane up in a running braid, THEN I tacked him up, and lead him to the outdoor arena, I mounted and walked him a while, before trotting him nicely.

I glanced up when someone walked into the arena, hardly loosing focus. He looked oddly familar, but I refocused on Lea and continued down the rail.

After I while I put him in a lateral Bend easily, so I could see his eye. I trotted him like that on the diagonal and changed direction.

After a lap, I slowed down and sat to her trot for a few strides before walking.

I halted Lea and checked behind each of my shoulders before backing her up.

I put my shoudlers back quickly, realizing I was slouching a little bit-and asked Flame for a sitting trot.

Flame tossed his head, and I squeezed him to calm him down, let him know I was still there.
