Claire trotted Maggie brightly into the arena when they were called. Maggie held her head surprisingly low with the amount of rein she was given for the working hunter course. She went around well with a long rein and didn't fight for more head freedom. They made a full circle around the end of the arena and picked up the right lead canter. Claire guided her happy mare around the course smoothly at an easy, western style lope pace. For once the pair wasn't competing against a clock that really rushed their courses because of Maggie's naturally slow gaits. Soon Maggie was asked down for another trot and finished her round with a huge circle at the gate end of the arena. Claire brought her down to a walk and released the rest of the reins with a big pat on her horse's neck. After several months out of the show atmosphere, Maggie had proven that she hadn't forgotten her ring manners.

Bayside hasn't hosted a show in months!! I was so excited to enter that I did this in two days XD I might go back and fix the shading a bit, but other than that I'm pretty happy with it :3 And I just noticed that Maggie is almost 11 years old; gosh, she aged quickly XD
