I had just given Flash a bath and she shone. I trotted her around the arena, warming up. SHe was in her nice training tack, hot pink boots and a matching saddle pad. I was wearing a blue tank top, tan breeches, and tall boots. I waited for Mr. Conner.

I walked into the arena and nodded at Stormi. "Hello, Stormi. Are you ready for your tryout?"

Mr. Connor
I smiled. "Good. Lets start with a couple of questions." I said. "What do you consider your best and worst diciplines?"

I quickly wrote down her answer. "And what does riding mean to you?"

"I don't think I can really explain it in words. It makes me feel free and like I can be me because horses don't judge. And I'm never alone in the ring, I've always got my partner with me. So, even if I fail, Flash won't care. But I want to strive to do better so she can reach her full potential and so can I."

Mr. Connor
I nodded. "Very nice." I said. "Lets start with the dressage course I asked you to memorize for today. Whenever youre ready." I took a step back.

I nodded and gave Flash a pat. I leaned down and whispered to her "Let's get 'em girlie" She pranced in place and I circled her before walking her smoothly down the center line and saluting at X. I picked up a medium trot from there to A, and then picked up an extended trot, alternating between collected and extended between letters. Then I picked up a canter and circled. I cantered one more time around the ring before doing a flying lead change across the center. She took an extra step but did fairly well. I finished off with a medium trot until A, then free walk up to X, where I saluted and gave Flash a big pat. The lead change was a little off and she needed a little more "collect" in teh collected trot but it went well over all.
OOC: I don't do much dressage but that's the best I could do for a test lol

I nodded. "Ok...." I scribbled a few things down. "Now lets go onto show jumping. Please move to the side so Doug can set up the course." I said.

"Yes sir" I said, sidestepping Flash out of the way. I leaned down and gave her a hug "One down, two to go" I whispered to her

I nodded and started the opening circle. The course consisited of 8 jumps. 8 chances to blow Mr. Conner's mind. I angled Flash towards the first one and she took it with ease. The next two also went well, she over jumped on the fourth, did well on the 5th and 6th, cut the corner too tight on the 7th but cleared the jump, and she aced the 8th. I did my closing circle and trotted Flash over to Mr. Conner, giving her another pat.

"Nice Recovery." I commented. I quickly wrote a summary of the preformance. "Due to time restraints, were going to end here." I extedned my hand for her to shake. "Good job, and youll be hearing the results from me soon."
