"C'mon Rango!" I said, laughing. I ran around the arena with Rango trotting after me with no lead. I laughed and jumped a 2 foot jump, and Rango followed me. He nudged me and I fell into the dirt, laughing and grabbing his mane to hoist myself up. "Your magic boy." I placed my head on his head, stroked his neck. I jumped hen I heard the door open.

I walked into the arena, leading Memory. I desperately needed to practice, so finding the arena to have another person in it was a little disappointing. Still, I mounted up before turning to face the other person. He looked familiar, though I realized it was Sammie's boyfriend. Do you mind if I practice in here also? I asked him, brushing some hair out of my face.

I smile. "Sure, I don't care." I guided Rango to the jump again. After watching the bond Vi had with her horse, I was eager to have the same with Rango. I Started running along side Rango toward the jump. At the last second I broke away from the 3 foot jump. Rango hopped it like it was nothing. "Good boy!"

I nodded my thanks and led Memory to the side of the arena, wanting to work on some dressage, which I despised. Maybe, if we did good, we could take a couple of jumps, kinda like a treat. Even though I was suppose to be focusing on the working trot I was leading Memory into, I couldn't help but have my eyes shift over to the guy's horse, whom had flown over the jumped. Wow. I breathed out. That was fantastic form. I told him, going to back to dressage.

I smiled. "Thanks." I clicked to Rango and made him canter in a circle around me. At the right moment, I guide Rango the the center of the ring. I felt like I was holding on to a invisible force, moving with him my hands, as I commanded "Switch." I held my breath as Rango seemed to hesitate, then did a flying lead change. I grinned widely. "Good boy!!" I laugh as I give him a hearty pat.

I adjusted my grip on the reins before slowly back down to a walk I hated dressage with a burning passion so I decided to take a break and go through the jumps once. In my head, I thought of the strides needed in between each jump. Once I noticed the guy was doing flying lead changes, I led Memory into a fast trot, then finally into a canter.
The first jump was great, though I could feel Memory wanted to go faster. I gave a half halt, trying to get back in control. We flew over the second jump though memory stumbled on the landing, due from her speed. I didn't have enough time to collect her when the third jump came up. I tried to save the jump but Memory's back hoof nicked the railing, causing it to tumble to the ground.
My cheeks burning from embarrassment and I was certain my face was turning red. I leaned down and gave Memory a quick rub. It was my fault, fro not collecting her in time. I was mad at myself. Show jumping was suppose to be easy for me.

I gave a half smile to Carmel. "That was good." I say, leading Rango over. "Mind if I try?" I move Rango to the start of the jump course.

Thanks. I replied with a weak smile in return to his compliment. At his question, I waved my hand in front of me, gesturing at that jump course. Go for it. I said, leaning back slightly in the saddle so I could watch.

I moved Rango to the start of the jump course. I motioned for him to stay. I walkrd halfway between the 1st and 2nd jumps, a vertical and an oxer. "Rango, Canter." Rango snorted and started to canter toward the jump. As he started to pull away from the jump, I put my hand up and motioned to the jump. Rango jumped i, and without command from me, he cantered and jumped the 2nd jump easily. Now was the tricky part. Rango was going to have to canter the line correctly or he'll nick the rail. I held my breath as Rango seemed to stop, then canter exactly 2 strides and jumped the 3rd jump. I smiled. "Good." I threw him a peppermint. I turned to Carmel.

I nodded after he was finished. That was very good also. I told him, brushing hair out of my face. My eyes flickered to the jumps and back at the guy. I should have introduced myself before, I'm Carmel.

I smile. "Hey. I'm Jacob Frost. I'm Sammie's... I guess boyfriend." I shrug, then go back to praising Rango. My feelings for Sammie were complicated right now.

I smiled back at him, before adding. Sammie is a good friend to me, despite our fight. I told Jacob. I'd had known that Sam had a boyfriend but I'd have never meant him before.
