[hope you don't mind me joining]
Kenneth arched his neck and snorted as steph tightened the girth a hole at a time. When she had gotten it tight as it would go she took hold of the riens and walked towards the mounting block in the arena. As she made her way over she sa people in there. 'oh no, looks like were going to have to go for a hack kenneth', she whispered silently. As she drew nearer the gate and opened it. Closing it behind her she made her way tothe mounting block, lining up ext to it she went up the 3 stes to the plat form and placing her left foot int he stirrup she swung her right leg over and landed lightly on kenneths back. The stallion threw his back feet up but steph was quick to react and grabbing the double riens she stopped anything else happening.
Kenneth was very fresh today and a hack would be totally the wrng thing to do but steph had only been riding in equtation classes since she arived a month ago and although she had done well she was embarrassed. This was because equtation wasn;t held in the UK and hunter classes were totally diffrent there. (trust me they are. lmao)
She watched the 2 girls for a few minutes then squeezinf ever so slightly with her legs she asked enneth to wlak forward. once round the arena and hen out. she though to herself. Kenneth plunged forward into a canter at her leg signal but steph oon bought him to a trot and eventually a walk. He arched his neck and chopped the bit. ost people thought steph stupid to buy an 18hh hanoverian stallion that was well, to ut it nicley, crazy.
Smiling at the to girls as she past she tried to keep her seat perfect as if she were in the show ring eventually she neared the gate and bending down she started to open the latch. It was a struggle from such a high horse and at the wrong momment a bird flew out form a tree. Keneth jumped sideways and spun round. Steph regained herself from his neck and halted him. Stroeking his neck she spoke to him, tears in her eyes. [/b'stead kenneth, your ok. I know you wnat to stay here and jump but i am not goign to make a foul of myself infront of these people'
[/b], she whispered the last bit quietly into his ear. Whiping away a tear she sat there on kennet for a few minutes to regain herself before she could attempt to open the gate again.[/size][/center]Kenneth was very fresh today and a hack would be totally the wrng thing to do but steph had only been riding in equtation classes since she arived a month ago and although she had done well she was embarrassed.
