"Oh thanks Nathan, love you too." Kourtney said, adjusting the stirrups and pulling her short, light frame onto the 17.2hh muscular stallion. She pushed him into a canter form a halt, aiming him at a 3ft combination line. One stride between, to be exact.

Nate smiled, touching the brim of his hat and nodding his head once. "Anytime." he joked, heading over to the arena fence and pulling himself up onto the top rail.
Kourtney held the stallion back, feeling him become excited and think about rushing. She let him go at the last moment, folding and releasing, following his movement. She felt him take off again after he landed. A little surprised, Kourtney managed to make it a smooth jump. "Oh God Chance, you just did that in a bounce. That was supposed to be a one stride!" She said as she cantered the stallion out of the line.

Nate smiled, watching Kourtney and Chance. The man removed his Stetson and ran his fingers through his blonde hair, before setting the hat back down on his head, his eyes once again shaded by the shadow the brim threw across his face.
Chance spooked slightly at Nate removing his hat. "Chance, knock it off." Kourtney growled, kicking the stallion over with her leg. She made him preform a flying lead change as they changed direction, turning into the line the opposite way, away from the fence Nate was leaning on. She slid her hands up the stallions neck as she moved into a two-point, folding at the hips. She did the same for the second jump, again cantering out.

Daniel clipped the lead rope on open the gate lead Maye out. He switched the lead rope to the other hand so he could close the gate. "That a girl ready to go for a ride?" he said as he finished closing the gate. Then he patted his 16.3 hh Mare.
Maye
Maye nickered with joy, "Yay yay," she nickered as she pranced along side Daniel back to the barn.
Carson
Carson looked at the mare "Your sweating you must have just come from riding with Ashley. I wonder why she stuck you in the hot barn even though the fan's are on they don't really make a diffrence. I'll go ask her if I can put you in the pasture." Carson then left the barn and went to the second outdoor arena. Where she say Ashley with Artic. "Ashley," She called trying not to spook Artic.
Nate watched as Chance spooked from him removing his hat. Four year olds. The man sighed softly, watching the two soar over a jump, Kourtney holding a perfect position. He then clapped playfully. "Bravo!" he called teasingly.
Kourtney took off the white hat Nathan had given her, holding it up as she made a bowing motion. "Thank you, thank you. But trust, me, you haven't seen nothin' yet. This horse can jump. Much higher than 3ft." Kourtney plopped the hat onto her head again.

Nate smiled, before hearing a whinny from the barn. Sliding down to the ground, he looked towards Kourtney, deciding not to call out to her incase Chance spooked. Instead, he dissapeared into the barn, going over to the source of the noise. Bud. The gelding had his halter on the floor, and was working on the lead shank. "Enough." Nathan smirked, bending down to pick up the halter and slide it over the red dun's face, tieing the simple rope lead to it. He tied the horse to a bar of his stall, heading towards the Tack Room.
