A whistle blows and you see a paint Marwari go cantering around the arena, twice in fact. The rider, Liza, stops him in front of the starting line. A buzzer for the timer goes off and You see the marwari canter to the first jump. It's a double oxer, about 3'5 high. He clears it without bumping the rail. On to the next jump, a 4'6 vertical with water underneath. Again he clears it perfectly. onto a series of jumps, verticals, that go with the heights of 3'6, 3'11, and 4'4. he clears them, his hooves barely brushing the last jump. Onto a brush jump, he goes soaring through the fake grass, clearing the jump yet again. There are 5 more verticals after that, all at the height of 5' even. He clears them all, almost knocking down the first one, but the bar settles back into place. The last jumps are coming up. One is a 6' far water jump, he makes it perfectly! doesnt even skim the water at the end! all those ditch jumping practices are paying off eh? So then here comes the challenge for him. its the LAST jump. hes afraid of the brick wall, its 5'5 high... Liza pushes him up to it, saying calming words to him, and singing a soft song. you see him calm down a bit and he rushes up to the jump. and SOARS over it, skimming his hoof on the top, but still clears it!!! The crowd goes wild and Liza stands up on the stirrups, throws off her helmet, and throws her arms in the air! "YES! " she yells. she sits back down and pats Chile's neck. "Your such a good boy Chile!!!!!! You cleared everything!!!!! you are gettign a break for a while!!!! goooooood boy!!!!" she trots over to where her helmet is, and a little girl runs out of the stands , picks up your helmet, and says "Here you go! Good job!!!!" Shes so cute Liza thinks. "Hey little girl, wanna come ride my pony sometime? hes the perfect size for you!!!" "Yah yah!!!!" her mom comes running out after her and says sorry. "Its ok, heres my address, bring her over sometime, she could start riding!!!" "Thank you! she loves horses! i cant keep her away from them!" the little girl pats chiles cheek and gives him a carrot, which he thankfully accepts. he nuzzles her face and nickers to her. "Aw! i think Chile likes you!" the little girl giggles and they walk away. thats basically the rundown of the arena! its the size of the arena they have In the WEG. and it has nice white sand in it.
