I got out of the truck and let the trailer ramp down. A few people called out "Hey Jesse." as they walked by and I said "Hey." back. I took out Oh My Love. My big black Thoroughbred stallion. I got out the new saddle and bridle and saddle pad I'd just got for him and the grooming kit I also got. I had all the time to go shopping this morning. I mean I didn't really have any friends. Or a girlfriend either. I groomed Love and tacked him up before leading him into the arena. I mounted up when I found the mounting block and fixed the stirrups and got balanced. I brought him to a trot and went around a few times. Then I cantered him a little before going into a full gallop. I galloped him for a while but he started acting up so I brought him back to a walk. I trotted him a little before dismounting and setting up a few jumps. I wasn't the best at jumping but Love was a good jumper and liked to do it. He still liked racing better though. I got in the saddle again, from the ground this time and cantered him a little to collect him before the jump. I headed towards the first jump and we cleared it except for knocking the top pole down. I ignored it and headed for the second one. We cleared that one perfectly and the next three after that. On the sixth jump the landing wasn't the best but the next four were good enough and the course was done. I patted his neck and dismounted. I led him back to the trailer and untacked him. I took about half an hour grooming him the got him new water and put him back in the trailer. I drove him back to the barn so he could relax for a while then.
