Jessicaq mounted her beloved mare. keeping the reins loose as she began to warm her mare up. '' hey girl we going to start jumping 4 ft and make out way up to five.'' jessica had set all the jumps at 4 to 4.5 feet. once 10 min. elasped she put presher in her heels. tightening the reins for more control. Amewrican dream responded with a ground eatting trot. she held her dial up knowing what was coming. "woah easy girl i don't want you to fresh" she gave her a slight half halt getting control of her head again. using her our side leg she pushed gently on her side. American dream lept into a steady canter. breathing lightly through every stride. "thats it gir" as thy started with a virtical American Dream jumped it easly with only a slight rub. Luckly it stayed. as she used reins and leg presher she guided american dream to the triple bar and then over to a combination. Jessica counted the strides as they left she signaled its time to jump. American dream responded tucking her legs in clearing the jump gain one more stride till the oxar. she streched out nicly finally rounding up to the virtical. jessica felt american dream un wind. Jessica kept her leg preshe ron as american dream tried to gatherher self though knocked down the top rail. as jessica guided american dream to the rail again loosening the reins batting her withers encouraging her mare to do better next round

She coutinued to canter easily around the arena. leaning into the bit with each rounding bend. Jessica circled her sround the first fence perparing her mare. then lined her up. "ok girl lets do this" her mare perked her ears lifting her head to be able to see the jump more clearly. American dream jumped the virtical with inches to spare. Switching leads to bend nicly over to the triple bar. American dream put her head down as if to refuse and faver her sholder to the right. Jesssica whistled lifting the mares head at the last strides. putting a lot of leg presure on the resiting mare. American Dream responded tucking her legs in jumping itnto the air. as she landed Dream had gain strides at a hand gallop. Jessica couldn't get the mare to agree and turned her mare away from the combination. "awww, come on dream you never have been so tense to go over the jumps" Jessica didn't relase the reins and coutinued her mare at the canter. she skipped all of the first jumps heading towards the combination again "im going to end this round on a good note im haven't even challenged you with a hard corse" puttinug presure on the mares right side forcing her to keep stright. leaning forward jessica coutinued to hold her leg steady on the mares sides. clearing the first jump with one stride to the next her mare had no option and coutinued to jump the second one ticing the last bar. finally jessica pulled slightly on the rein to get more strides in for the last jump. as they approached her mare tucked in again jjumping and rounding her back so her back legs didn't touch. "there you go girl see its not to hard, if you just listen" Jessica realsed the reins. knowing that it was a good lesson and a decent way to end a ride. she slowed her amre to a walk letting her strech and cool off  |
