Rachel walked in the barn and went to her newly assigned horse’s stall. The horse that she was assigned to was a ten year old bay Dutch Warmblood gelding jumper and his name was Ramirro . She was going to work him over the jumps today. The bay head went over the stall door and snorted. She smiled at him and went to where his halter and lead rope was. She grabbed his halter and leadrope. She went into his stall and slipped on his halter and clipped on the leadrope to his halter. She led him out of his stall and led him to the crossties. The sound of his hoofs echoed throughout the barn. She clipped him to the crossties and went into the tack room. She grabbed the grooming equipment and went back to him. She started to groom him and then she picked his hooves. She put the groom equipment back in the tack room and she grabbed his saddle, bridle, saddle pad, and leg wrapping. She went back to him and started to tack him up. She doubled checked and she unclipped the crossties. She put on her helmet and riding gloves. She started to lead him to the arena. When she led him to the arena he nudged her shoulder and she smiled. "I know. I'm sorry for not giving you attention, boy." she said and she rubbed his neck. He pircked his ears and nickered. She smiled and laughted quietly to herself.
She led him to the arena and opened the gate. She led him into the arena and closed the gate behind her. She doubled check that she tightened the girth and that he could breath. She pulled down the stirrups and mounted him. She squeezed her legs and made clicking noises with her tongue. She started to walk him around the arena and she smiled. She walked in around the arena and she squeezed her legs asking the gelding for a trot. She posted to his posting trot. She then squeezed her legs and made clicking noises with her tongue asking him for a canter. She cantered him around the arena. She let him extend his canter and she slowed him down to a walk. She looked at the jumps and she nodded to herself. She squeezed her legs and made clicking noises with her tongue. She asked him to canter and he moved from a walk to a canter. She cantered him to a warm up jump and they cleared the jump with ease. She cantered him to another warm up jump and he snorted. They cleared the jump with ease. She cantered him to 1ft vertical jump and they cleared the jump. She cantered him to another 1ft vertical jump and they cleared the jump with ease. She cantered him to another 1ft vertical jump. She guided him to the jump and counted the stides to the jump. They jumped and cleared the jump. She cantered on to the next jump, another 1 ft jump and cleared the jump. She cantered him on to the next jump, which was now a 2 ft jump and she made him extend his stride. She counted his strides and squezed her legs. They cleared the jump and cantered on to the next jump. She patted his neck and praising him for a good job. He pircked his ears up and snorted.
