Anna led Beauty into the arena. She pulled down the stirups of the larger horse and led her over to the mounting block. Anna mounted her and trotted around to warm up. She trotted her over a few low jumps. There were4 in a row. Beauty just trooted nicely over. There were only a few jumps set up. Two sets the same but the second ones next to the lower ones and at jumping height. Anna then canted Beauty around the arena once. She then moved the mare towards the bigger jumps. Anna held her back so she wouldn't rush. She held her back to much so Beauty didn't have her head or perform as well as she could have.

Belladonna lead a huge ebony stained hanoverian stallion into the ring. He threw his head up and down impatiently. "Easy baby boy." she cooed lightly. Leading him up to the mounting block she kept a firm but not sight grip on the reins. Sacred Calling could be a little unpredicatble at times. she almost floated onto his back landing lightly. she did several figure-of-eights at trot and canter. lining him up to the smaller fences, she alowed him to take the jump on his own. he took it perfectly, lining up and not rushing or hezitating. after flying over those she took him towards the larger ones, around 6' and rode him over. he did it effortlessly, and without falt, jumping was his best event. Dressage was his weak point, he really didn't have the patients to listen to his rider for what seemed like an eternity to him.

Beauty tossed her head up and moved into a canter when the stalloin came into the ring. She only half listened to Anna. She bucked a few times and tried to go over to the stallion. Anna did her best to keep her under control. Her long black hair fell over her eyes. Anna could still see but not as well. She took one hand off the reigns and moved the hair from her eyes. Beauty span around and canted the other way. Anna nearly fell off her. Beauty pinned her ears back and galloped at the arena fence. Anna slid off her and landed on the ground. Beauty jumped the fence and began to gallop off. She had never acted like that before.

Belladonna watched, Sacred's listeners pricked at the noise. he squealed happily after the mare. "Come on big boy." she said and nudged him into a gallop. "I'll get her back for you." she called at Anna as the pare flew past. The onyx hued stag glided over the jump easily and gained on the mare quickly. he snorted and whinnied with excitment of being able to run. the dark rider and stallion cought up to the mare quickly. belladonna reached over and grasped the reins, pulling up both herself and the mare. she turned them and troted the two back. stopping at the fence she looked at Anna, "you ok?" seh asked.

Yeah thanks Anna said. If Beauty had been galloping full speed it would have been more like a race. Anna stood up and climbed over the fence and took hold of the chestnut mares reigns. Never had Beauty done that to her. The mare had a wild look in her eyes, unlike the mare she knew. It was a little scary. Beauty hadn't been worked in two days and was acting stupid.
