Maddy decides to head down to the trails, she gives Corrina a bump with her legs, and clucks slightly. When the pony doesn;t move into a trot, she taps her with the whip, and smiles, when she moves into a trot. Once they near the trails, Maddy decides to canter the smooth trail, and transitions into a canter. She slows to a walk when she notices Jasper.

~actions;; riding Lotus/talking to Maddy

Jasper saw Maddy as she comes through the trail at a canter at first, but slowing back to a walk. "Hey," he said to her, bringing Lotus around next to Maddy's horse. "I'm Jasper," he said in greeting, placing a hand on his helmet like it was a hat he could tip. "And Lotus here is my trusty steed." Lotus nickered at his name, and Jasper smiled down at his horse. "Good timing, partner," he said, talking like a cowboy. "What's your name?" He asked her, back to normal, smiling slightly at her.

Paris sighs, walking back to her stallion, mounting him quickly after untying his reins from the tree branch. She kicks him into a trot with a click of her tongue and a kick to the sides, riding him back to the stables, galloping the rest of the way to the stables. She dismounts as she gets to the entrance of the stables. She unclips her helmet, her hair perfect, though some strands stuck up, which she smooths down. Leading Comet to an empty stall, she grabs her boots from the tack room, sliding them on after putting Comet's blankets in the washer. Paris walks to the barn again, pushing the wheel barrel in, which had the mucking rake in it, beginning to muck out his stall. When she was finished, she puts the barrel outside of the barn, sliding off the boots to be cleaned later, after she was done working. Switching her horse's blankets over into the dryer, she hangs up his equipment on a rack. She grabs a new bag of bedding as she walks to the barn, switching back into her cowboy boots simultaneously. She rips open the bag, putting down some of the straw-like bedding. "Great grief, horses are a lot of work." She says to a random guy as she walks by, getting a bucket for feed and water.

卍 Nemisis looked away from the bay stallion, Bullet, as he had heard a voice he believed was talking to him. It was a black haired girl, who was tending to her horse two stables across from Bullet's stable. Nemisis cleared his throat before speaking, as it felt as if he hadn't spoke in months. "Agreed," he finally replied, "but it's always worth it." the Swedish boy finished.

{ Gahh writers block.

Paris nods to him, grabbing the buckets she needed. Measuring out the oats she would give her stallion, getting enough fodder for Comet. She walks to him, rubbing his nose, pouring the feed into his trough. "Next is the water." She sighs, walking out to the water fill thing. She fills up one bucket, then the other, walking back to the stall to fill his other trough. "Ready for the show soon, bud?" She smirks, kissing his nose.

Maddy smiles. "Nice to meet you Jasper. I'm Maddy." she says, looking at him. "And this is my lazy pony Corrina." she adds, getting a snorts from Corrina. The pony turns to Lotus, and stretches her neck out. Maddy pulls on the rein slightly, she did not want the pony to bite Lotus. Corrina snorts, and shakes her head.

Xander was still dancing in the cross ties when she returned with his bridle and martingale. Asking him to take the bit, he put up a small fight for a moment, before allowing the bit to slide into his mouth, playing with it for a few moments. Right now, she had him in a full cheek, double twisted wire eggbutt bit, which she really didn't like. It was a fairly severe bit which matched good with soft hands that she thankfully had. All the other bits just didn't have much of an effect on him, though she'd love for him to have a snaffle mouth. She was hoping he'd get better and she could at least have him in just a single wired bit, or wishful thinking, the snaffle she so wanted in his mouth, even though he was a fairly headstrong stallion, which was why he was sold in the first place. But, they worked well together, and he's a lot calmer than when she first bought him. With her at least.
Buckling the noseband and throatlatch of the figure eight bridle, she attached the martingale. Pausing for a moment, she reached back to hang up the halter on the hook that was behind her, for when they returned, double checking the strap of her helmet before she left.

Clucking to the bay, she led him through the barn and out the side door, leading him to the jumping arena. Pushing the gate open with a slight creak of it's hinges and bolting it behind her, the girl led the tall horse to the middle of the arena, tightening his girth some more, then moving around him to let down her stirrups. She had already been out here before grooming and tacking up Xander, and had set up some fairly simple jumps which were mostly going to concentrate on gymnastics instead of straight forward jumping. Things like bounces and one to three stride combinations. He liked to rush at his fences and totally ignore all contact on the bit, no matter how taunt she had her reins pulled to try and bring him back into a balanced canter.
Setting the reins over his neck, she held onto them with her left hand, lifting one foot to set it into the iron, bouncing a few times on the ground, before swinging up onto the horse, picking up her other stirrup after asking him to halt as he started to walk forward before she settled herself out. Waiting a few moments, the girl clucked, squeezing with her legs to move her warmblood into a walk, playing a bit with her fingers on the reins to keep his head up, giving him a scratch on the neck when he listened.
With a sigh, she pushed the bay into a working trot, rising out of her saddle as his outside leg swung forward, posting to his movements, and in result, pushing his stride out more. She made sure to move him around the jumps so he could see everything and not have any surprises when it actually came to jumping them.
His ears perked forward instantly as she directed him over a few trot poles set up diagonally in the center of the arena, passing over them cleanly. When she asked for the canter, she instinctively leaned back in her seat a touch, using judgment to figure what was coming. It did come, Xander bucking into the canter, just showing he was feeling good.
Starting out in a full seat, Chloe kept him in a nice, easy balanced canter, and after a few times around that way, she started to half seat, pushing his canter out and forcing him to use his hind end more instead of getting a bit lazy back there. She rotated like that for a while, between the full and half seat, transitioning his canter from shorter to longer strides.
