Description
And finally, at long last, it was Skip's chance to shine! Anya spent the few hours before their show ensuring that his tack was spotless and in perfect order, and that the stallion himself was sparkling. She'd braided his mane and combed out his tail, then left him to munch his hay while she got ready. And then, she led him out from his stall and mounted, before riding him to the warm-up arena.The weather was gloriously hot, & Anya coould tell she would bake in her jacket, so for the first ten minutes of her warm-up she shirked it, & left it with one of the people on the ground. Then, just before her name was called she trotted Skip over, retrieved her jacket and was ready to go when she was called for.
Sitting high in the saddle, she trotted Skip into the arena, where they stood patiently until the bell rang. And once it did, she nudged him forward into a controlled canter towards fence one.
Anya had made the decision not to use a crop for the actual round, and as they approached the first jump, she briefly wondered if he would try anything funny. But fortunately he sailed brilliantly over, and cantered boldly for the next fence, ears up and totally focused on his job. Anya grinned & sat tall, intending to wow everyone watching, with just how good she knew the young stallion could be!
