Advanced Lesson 12:30 P.M. [RP]

[*Danni*]

Mrs. Richardson quickly made her way towards the Show jumping and Dressage Ring. Her riders should be there soon, and she wanted to set up. It was a cloudy day, but luckily, to percipitation. But who knows? It can start raining any second. It was also humid, and the air felt very gross. She set up a few cones, and then waited for her riders. She first wanted to see what they were capable of doing.

[x.X.Tyler~Johnson.X.x]

Tyler Johnson was excited about his advanced lesson with Mrs. Richardson today and he secretly hoped Danni would show up. He was pretty sure he would see Lizzy there. Tyler jogged into the stables in his riding clothes, his black boots clanked against the floor and he set his riding helmet on the rack outside the stall door.

Tyler had set out the grooming supplies and tack in the aisle. He grinned as he unlatched the stall door and slipped into the stall of his gorgeous, large 5 year old paint horse geilding. Cimarron raised his head to look at the person who had come into his stall and he whinnied happily and nuzzled Tyler when he saw it was his beloved owner. Tyler laughed and stroked Cimarron's masculine neck, then pat his barrel and clipped the lead shank to his halter. Opening the half door again, Tyler walked on and Cimmi followed to his right trailing a few inches behind.

Checking his watch, Tyler put Cimmi in cross ties in the center of the stable aisle and unclipped the lead rope then laid it on the tack rack outside of his stall and picked up a hard brush and went over his already curried pelt. He made sure to get the girth and chest well, then brushed off the loose hairs with the soft brush. Once he was done Cimmi was gleaming like a diamond. He gave Cimmi a satisfied pat, then scratched behind his ears and ran a hand through his silky mane. Checking his hooves one last time, Tyler released his grip on Cimmi's right hind hoof and listened to him lower it to the ground with a clank. Tyler then tacked up his geilding and tightened the cinch, then took ahold of the reins and walked to the ring, perfectly on time.

••The sun was shinning on the sort of chilly day out, with the wind slightly blowing through the trees of Berlington. There
was not a cloud in the sky today, a lucky day for it was one
of those rare nice days that they would have in Berlington.
As Kayla walked out of the stables with Hollywood, her Arabian
she listened to her horses hoofs hit the cobblestoned path
to the Show Jumping/Dressage Ring for her lesson.

••Making sure her helmate was on, Kayla checked her girth
and mounted up upon her horse's back and went through
the open gate. Noticing that her instructer was already in
waiting. Kayla hated to be late, and it was upsetting to her.
She squeezed Hollywood into a western jog to help warm
her up. For even though it was only twelve thirty pm, Hollywood still needed to warm herself up.

[*Danni*]

Lizzie walked into Bella's stall, and then led her out, clipping her onto Cross ties. She called a stablehand to tack Bella up, so she wouldn't ruin her manicure she got that day. Once the gute guy finished, she smiled, and gave him a little tip, then grabbed the reins, leading the Arabian mare to the ring. She spotted Tyler, and waved, walking Bella over to them. "Hey Ty," she said, sweetly. She then mounted on, and waited for everyone else, smiling at Tyler.

Danielle quickly tacked up her stallion. She was a little late, since she was busy mucking out Big Momma's stall. But she knew her mom wouldn't get mad. Once she was done, she led Tuff into the arena, and then saw Tyler. She smiled, but the smile faded when she saw Lizzie. She rolled her eyes, and then checked her girth, mounting on after.

Mrs. Richardson was happy to see her students on time. It was a pretty big lesson, I guess you can say, but group lessons were fun. She set up some cones for later, but not to be used yet. "Thanks to everyone for being on time," she said, smiling. "Now first walk your horse around the arena, then do a posting trot, to get them warmed up," she said, and then watched her students, occasionally telling someone to lower their heels.

••Hearing the directions, Kayla slowed Hollywood down to a walk from the Western jog. It was going to a fun because
she had started off riding Western, but now that she was
here, she was riding English. The breeze blew the random
whisps of hair in front of her face, but she was already around
her first time, and squeezed Hollywood into a rising trot and
she started to rise to the beat.

••Looking around Kayla noticed that she did not know anyone
here, or at least none that she had met yet, maybe she could
meet them later. Hoping to find friends in this town, as she was
still new. She felt Hollywoods motions beneith her as she
continued around the ring. She kept down her heels after Mrs. Richardson's quick reminder. She would have to work on it.

[x.X.Tyler~Johnson.X.x]

Tyler smiled and when he saw Lizzie he waved at her. When he heard her flirt with him as usual, he replied back "Hey Lizzie." When he looked around the ring to see the other rider he smiled and waved at the new girl, then wondered if Danni was coming like she promised. "Hey Liz, is Danni coming too?" he asked. He scratched the back of his head, then turned around to the stomping of hooves and grinned as he saw Tuff and Danni and he waved, then gestured them over to join him and Lizzie. Cimmi excitedly nickered and nudged Lizzie's arm. He was happy to see his human and horse friends again. Tyler laughed and stroked Cimmi, then straightened when he heard Mrs. Richardson's orders and he immediately followed them. Tyler rode with good posture and he held the reins so that they formed a straight line from the reins to his hands. Clucking and kicking Cimmi's sides gently, the large paint geilding moved into a steady walk around the outside of the ring. After they had gone around a few times, Tyler tilted his heels downwards, kept his legs forward and away from his horse's flank, kept his chin up, looked straight ahead, and focused on his horse. He then kicked his heels in again gently but firmly, and felt his geilding's powerful muscules surge beneath him as he extended strides into a light trot. Tyler held on with his calves and not his knees as he lifted himself with ease out of the saddle up and down and continued posting as he went around the ring. He snuck a glance back at Danni and Lizzie and smiled.

[*Danni*]

Mrs. Richardson continued to watch her students. After a couple circles of them trotting, she then asked each one of them to weave the cones that were going down the center of the ring, at a trot. This lesson was going to be an easy one at first, just to see where they were at.

Danielle sighed, when she heard Tyler talk to Lizzie, in a flirtacious way, and then clicked Tuff into a trot. She rode in the back, behind Lizzie, who was behind Tyler, who was behind Kayla. She posted, landing onto the saddle gently with every post. She didn't need a crop that much, since Tuff usually listened, but still brought one along, just in case. When it was her turn to weave the cones, she turned Tuff smoothly, and they weaved the cones at a nice, slow trot.

Lizzie smiled, sweetly, and then trotted behind Tyler, doing her best. Usually, if her mother wasn't the instructor, she would goof off. Stopping her horse to fix her hair or something like that. When it was her turn to weave, she weaved through the cones, smoothly, with ease.

••Kayla immediately heard the directions, trot and weave the cones that centered the arena. She smiled to herself, watching
carefully she lined herself up with the cones and turned Hollywood
in towards the cone, weaving at a simple trot. Rising while she
went past a cone, and lowering while going through the cones.
For Hollywood's beat was steady enough to do so.

••As Kayla reached the end of the cones she turned towards the side to start over once again, making sure her heels where down, her shoulders straight and her arms slightly bent. It was fun, for Hollywood seemed to be enjoying the fun. As an Arabian, she was good a poles. Also because she was a western horse as well.

[Mikeala Rogers]

"Come on Revi! Cut it out!"
Mikeala was already late to her lesson, and Rev spooking at a dressage whip wasn't making it any better. Mikeala checked her girth once more, fastened her helment, and headed for the arena.
"I'm so sorry I'm late!" Mikeala said to Mrs. Richardson apolgeticly. She approached the mounting block with Rev, and quickly mounted before the horse had a chance to move away. Oh great. She's fresh. Mikeala thought as Rev pulled on the reins, eager to trot with the other horses. Once the line of horses passed, Mikeala took a spot in the arena away from the crowd of horses, knowing how spooky Rev could get, and how tempermental she could get around other horses.

[*Danni*]

Mrs. Richardson continued to watch her students, happy so far. She then heard someone. "It's alright Miss Rogers. Just join in," she said, smiling. Mrs. Richardson wasn't the strict type of intsructor. She understood that people make mistakes, but if they happen frequently, of course she will grow to be mad. "Alright everyone. Know get ready for a canter. Later, we will do some small jumps," she said. "Canter," she said, and watched.

[♥Scattering Hope♥]

••Kayla posted a few more steps and got ready for the
canter. She then squeezed lightly on Hollywood's sides
and felt the three beat canter below her. Scooping the
seat, she got comfortable in the saddle. Keeping her legs
close to the saddle and her hands controlling of her horse.
Kayla took a quick chance to pat her horse's neck and get
back to business in that amount of time.

[Mikeala Rogers]

"Crap..." Mikeala muttered under her breath, as Mrs. Richardson said the word, canter. On a day like this, and with a crowd this big, it might be very diffacult to control Rev. Mikeala slowed down the mare to her slowest trot, and as quietly as possible asked for the canter. Revi must have been having a good day. Because the warmblood just quietly took up the canter, instead of racing away from Mikeala and cutting off all the other riders. Mikeala put pressaure on the reins then, seeing they were getting closer to the riders in front of them, and Revi was getting a bit strong.

[x.X.Tyler~Johnson.X.x]

Cimarron eagerly watched as Kayla, Lizzie, and Danni all weaved through the cones and waited for a signal from Tyler excitedly. Tyler soothed his horse and whispered to him to calm down, then stopped holding him back and continued posting with ease as the large paint geilding intertwined between the cones, his large hooves stepping in the correct places as he went through the cones as easily as if he were stepping over a cavaletti pole. When he went through, he snorted happily as he finished without any faults, and earned a pat from Tyler. Taking his place back in line, he immediately dropped inbetween Kayla and Lizzie. Turning his head, he nickered a greeting to Danni and Tyler smiled, waving. As the riders continued trotting, Tyler put slight pressure on the bit to make sure Cimmi didn't try to pull anything. After Mrs. Richardson said to go ahead and canter, Cimmi's ears pricked at the word and he started to prance. Tyler laughed and rubbed his neck, then squeezed his heels against his geilding's sides gently and smiled as he obediently went into a steady rhythmatic canter. He felt his strong hindquarters surge beneath him and he grinned.

[♥Scattering Hope♥]

••Kayla did not look back to see who was behind her.
She kept going, hoping to do some jumping, she could
feel Hollywood's excitement below her, she nudged
her horse to keep going, and to stay on the right lead.
Your doing good Hollywood. she mummered to
her horse. She did not know if she should weave the
cones again.

[*Danni*]

Mrs. Richardson noticed some of the high energy. The horses seemed to be anxious to do something. Since they were doing so well, she decided for them to do some small jumps. "You guys ready to do some jumping?" she asked, smiling. All riders were gifted, and she loved seeing kids following their dreams.

Danielle nodded, at the idea of jumping. She loved to jump, probably the closest thing to flying. She smiled, and patted Tuff's beck, as they trotted around the ring. She kept stealing glances towards Tyler, then quickly looking away. She couldn't help it.
