Louy nodded to Edward as she passed him with Colorado, walking around him and his horse. She led her colt to some cross ties, and rinsed him down with a hose. Then she led him to a grassy spot between the arenas to cool him off...

Julia finished warming up Florain and trotted to the jumping arena, made sure the gate was clear and entered the ring.

Edward uncliped the lead rope and stood in the middle leting the horse work of some unwanted energy. It had been something that edward had learned but he had to stop Luther before he worn himself down. After Luther had his small run, Edward cliped back on the lead rope. The horse stood still while Edward groomed him. He tied the rope onto the gate so he could get Luther's saddle and pad. Walking quickly he hurried back and quick saddle Luther leaving the girth a little lose. He would make sure it was not losse later.

Katy hosed Gracie off and saw a stablehand coming.
"You need any help?" The man offered.
"That'd be great, thanks. First stall on the left," Katy smiled and gave him Gracie's lead rope. She watched to see that she was put away, and then got out a lesson horse for her student coming.
"Good morning, Katy." Lisa Hunt, the owner of Stonebrook, was striding towards Kathryn.
"Hey Lisa!" Katy said smiling.
"You're teaching Hannah today, right?" Lisa asked, checking her watch.
"Yeah, I was thinking she could ride Hurley." Katy pointed to a stocky bay with a big blaze standing head-out of his stall.
"Good choice. Well, I'll leave you to it then." Lisa nodded and walked away.
Since Katy had boarded Gracie at Stonebrook, she took up a small training job, giving lessons to younger riders and working some of Lisa's lesson horses. Although Katy was only fifteen, she had plenty of experience to teach.
"Hi Katy!" A small voice said.
"Hannah! You're going to right Hurley today, okay?" Katy smiled. "I'll help you get him ready."

Sarah watched people switch out in the round pen, and slowly made her way to the pasture gate and watched Mia graze for a while. After a few minutes she shook her head and snapped out of her daze, and headed back to the barn and into the tack room, where she took Mia's saddle, bridal and bosso down for cleaning. They were completely leather, save the bozzo which only had leather cheek straps, and if not oiled and cleaned correctly they would crack and become unsafe to use, not to mention uncomfortable for the horse. She seated herself on a bench and began to dilligently work.

After Hurley was tacked up, Katy and Hannah walked into the warmup arena. All the riders were practicing in the equidome, a good environment for their show horses. Hurley walked along lazily.
"Okay Hannah, sit up tall. Keep that line from shoulder-hip-to heel. Pretend you have a rope tied to the top of your helmet, pulling you straight up. Suck your tummy and try and touch it to your back. There, now your posture looks awesome." Katy saw the young ten year old stretch up in her saddle, her hands quiet and her seat rocking with the motion of Hurley's step.
"Now gather up that outside rein and pick up a posting trot. Remember, sit until you feel that outside shoulder bringing you up. You'll automatically get marked off in s how if you begin on the wrong diagonal." Katy stood in the center of the arena. "Hannah, close that lower leg. It's starting to swing with your posting motion. Tighten that knee, I know it burns a little bit. Trust me, this is nothing compared to what we'll do later!" Katy smiled and praised Hannah for her good equitation.

Louy put Colorado in his stall, seeing that the pasture was already occupied. She waited a moment, stroking his neck until a stable hand came up.
"Need any help with anythin'?" he asked, smiling.
"Yeah, could you clean out that stall? And then this one? Please?" she asked, pointing to Pirate's then Colorado's.
"Sure thing, miss," he said, and went to get a pitch fork and wheel barrow.
Louy, in the meantime went and got Pirate's saddle and briddle, and cleaning supplies. She spotted Sarah sitting on a bench cleaning tack, and sat down next to her. Louy got busy with the saddle. After awhile she spoke.
"Hi, I'm Louisa, but call me Louy. You're new to the stable, right?" she asked with a friendly smile...

"Okay, reverse. Bring up that inside rein to box him in through that turn. Inside leg...Good. We'll walk then canter and try a few jumps, okay?" Katy asked. "So go ahead and walk."

Edward mounted in the middle of the jumping area. He walked around the area and then moved on to a post trot. "Easy, Luther." He said, gritting his teeth. He felt Luther tense up so Edward tried to relax a little. He dismounted setting up a small jump. HE remounted and took Luther over at fast trot. Then tried it at a slow canter.

"Canter," Katy said."No, no, walk." Hurley swished his tail lazily. "Hannah, sit up tall. Don't tip forward. Press your outside leg behind the girth and tighten that outside rein. 1, 2, 3, canter." Katy said. This time, Hurley strode into it easily. "Okay, good. Keep a steady seat and sink low into that saddle. Put all your weight on your heels."
Hurley cantered along, lowering his head.
"Okay walk! Let's go in the equidome and take a few jumps."

Edward smiled as he cantered around in a circle. He rose back into two point. As he took a higher jump. "Good, boy Luther." He said. He set up the pattern that he was practicing for an show in a few months. He took each jump slowly making sure he did them right. He notice a young girl and Katy coming up. He was almost finish. He pick up the pace, trying to finsh the jumps.

((okay!))
Tyler came to the stables, carrying his bookbag over his shoulder. He went into the main stable and saw his horse, waiting for him. He smiled as he threw his bag on the floor and stroked his horse's mane, whispering,
"Sorry, boy, football practice went overboard today. But, I always have time to ride!"
