This riding track/ obstacle course is for beginner riders.

Erin leads Ashly out to the ring.

"Ok, now don't be nervous. It'll be bumpy but you'll get used to it." Erin says.
"Ok take a hold of the reins. Put all your fingers on top of the rein then put your pinky under the rein like this." Erin says
Showing her.

"Exactly, now it want to keep your heels down and your toes up for good posture and it'll be easier."
"Now to walk kick her lightly and say walk."

.

((It's ok))
Beauty starts to walk slowly.
"Ok, I you want to turn left pull gently on the left rein and kick gently on the right side. If you want to go right pull on the right side and kick on the left." Erin tells her.

"Good, good. Now if you want to go faster you are gonna kick again but a little harder and say trot. It's going I be a little bumpier and a little faster." Erin says.

"Ok, now when you trot you have to go up and down with Beauty. You sit up then down. Watch Beauty's leg on the outside and when that leg goes forward you sit up. However don't go up to high just little ups then down got it?" Erin says explaining.

"Great, you are a really good learner. Now we can go over ground polls. All it is are polls on the ground that you go over. However when you go per them lean down on Beauty's back. Then when you are finished go back to doing ups and downs." Erin tells her then she starts to drag the polls to the middle if the ring.

"Great job! You are a natural." Erin says smiling.

"I know so. You know my grandparents own a huge horse ranch. I can get them to loan a horse to us so you ride your own." Erin tells her excitedly.

"Yep! And maybe if you start to like riding I can take you up there and you can get your own tack and horse just for you!" Erin says smiling.

Erin smiles at her. Nobody ever called her awesome it was always freak. However she pushes that aside.
"It would be easier to learn more if we both were riding horses so I could show you something and you just copy it." Erin says.

"No." Erin tells her.

"Yeah I can't wait." Erin tells her. Them she gets her phone out.
"Let me call my Grandpa." She puts her phone to her ear and talks to her Grandpa ten she comes back to Ashly.
"He says he will be down her in thirty minutes with a horse and tack!" Erin says.

Erin walks over to Percy and scratches him behind the ears.
"This is gonna be great!" Erin says.
((Do u wanna wait it do u want Erin's grandpa to come now pretending it's already been a little?))

((Haha let's fast forward then))
Erin sees a truck pull up with a horse trailer.
"That's him come on!" Erin says running over to the truck.

Erin hugs her Grandpa then runs to the back of the trailer am opens it.

((You can pick what it looks like and what breed it is))

Emily laughs. She remembered when he was just a foal. She walks up to him and pets him.
"How's it going big boy." Erin says.

"Well we never really gave him a name we just call him big boy. We wanted to give who ever is going to adopt him a chance to name him." Erin explains.
"So what do YOU want to name him?" Erin asks smiling.

"Great! Also I trained him a while back when he was young so you should be able to ride him and everything." Erin says then she grabs the tack in the truck.
"We also have tack for you too." Erin says takin it into the stables.

Erin laughs she goes and gets Beauty and fixes the stirrups to her length. Them she climbs on her and trots over to Ashly and Star.

.

Erin smiles at her.
"You bet I am." Erin tells her.

"Let's go to the stables." Erin says walking over there.

Erin goes into the ring. She starts to trot right away. Then she does some jumps. After that she canters. Then she goes back to Ashly.
"Ready to try Star out?" Erin asks.

"Ok good, now try a trot. Don't kick to hard with him though he likes a light touch." Erin says.

"Good, you two are a good match." Erin says smiling.

Erin takes her feet out of the stirrups and stretches her legs out. The she pats Beauty.
"How do you like Star?" Erin asks her.

"Ok, you are looking pretty good. Now I think you should jump higher jumps. Do what you do when you go over the ground polls. All that is different is Star will jump a little when you go over. Make sure your heels are down when you go over the jump." Erin says.
Then she goes over and sets up a small jump.

"Great job! You are awesome at this! I swear Star and you are going to be great partners!" Erin says practically jumping up in down I her saddle with joy.

.

Erin smiles at her.
"Well I have a great student!" She walks over to them and runs Star's forehead.
"He is your I you want him. Free of charge anyways he seems to like you a lot." Erin tells her.

"You earn it." Erin tells her smiling.
"I'll set you up a stable for him."

"No problem! That's what friends are for." Erin says. She liked having someone who shared her interests.

"You know Star has only let two people ever ride him before. You and me. I was positive you two what go together!" Erin says.

"Haha he practically does that already. He is a stubborn boy. It took me a while to train him." Erin says. Then she whistles to Beauty. Beauty head shoots up then she canters over.
"You can totally train him to do that too." Erin says.

Erin smile widens. She knew Ashley was going to be great.
"Now let's get these two washed off, brushed, then fed." Erin says. Then she starts to untack Beauty.

"Ok after we untack them we are gonna brush them off. After that we'll hose them off with the hose to cool them off a bit. Then we will put them in their stalls and fill their buckets." Erin says while she starts to brush Beauty off. Them she grabs the hose and washes Beauty off a little. Next she brushes her over one more time. Then she leads beauty to her stall.

.

"The hay is over here." Erin say lifting the hay and putting in Beauty's stall. Then Erin gets the hose and fills up Beauty's bucket.

((And it's ok))

((Ok see ya))
"Great. Now I'm gonna head back to the dorm and get cleaned up." Erin says sighing. Today she was worn out.

"Ok." Erin says.
((Go to their dorm))

Erin rides out to the ring and canters around a little to warm up.
"Warm him up a little before we do anything." Erin tells Ashley.

"Ok, now to canter start trotting. Then when your ready kick again and say canter sternly. Except instead of doing ups and downs you have to sit back it the saddle. It's going to be a little hard because when you canter it gets really bumpy." Erin explains.

"Good! Now he is going to want to trot again. So you have to make sure he doesn't stop until you want him too. However wen you want to stop pull back gently on the reins and say trot." Erin tells her.

"Great now let's do some jumps." Erin says setting them up with her mind.

Erin canter up to the jump and Beauty goes over it easily.
"Ok now you." Erin says smiling.
