Cris I walked into the Stable a few hours before my tryout, wearing simple black breeches and a white tee. I went to Bonnie's stall and started grooming him so he would Be ready for my test. 15 minutes before my test, I went into the arena to warm up.

Mr C I walked in. "Hello Cristopher. Is your horse warned up?"
Bella I slid silently into the stands

Cris "I would say our best is cross country and worst is dressage." when mr Connor looked at his notes, I flashed Bella a nervous smile.

Cris I smiled a little. "Riding teaches a lot of life lessons like patience and discipline, but you can also have fun doing it; which is a hard combanation to find."

Cris I nodded and looked over the course. It looked pretty easy. I hoped that all of my extra practicing with Bonnie would pay off. We cantered towards the first jump and got over easily. The next few jumps were a breeze, and then there was the triple. I had to make sure my timing was perfect. We got over the first one pretty good, then the second. Bonnie, who was getting confident and over eager, jumped early for the last one. We still managed not to knock the jump down, but we were pretty close to. I walked over to Mr. Conor; happy the rail didnt knock over, but disapointed it wasnt the perfect ride I wanted.

Mr C "Good job." I wrote my notes. "Whenever your ready for dressage, you may begin."

Cris I nodded and went through the course in my head for a second before going to the first X. We had been practicing a LOT lately. Everything was pretty good, only that Bonnie trotted to the X instead of walked. I tried not to think of it as I finished. Only one mistake wasnt that bad.
