Reining I (Students)

[la]

"Thanks." Griffen said as he held the reins. He went to the middle as Mr.Matthews called roll. "Here." He said as he called his name. He had never used spilt reins before just romels. He checked the girth and flipped the reins over Doc's head.As Mr. Matthews told them to do a circle of trot counterclockwise. He asked for a trot from Doc going left. It was very smooth. This was probably his last class of the day. He would have to check his scheldule that he got when reining class was over. The western saddle still had an odd feeling to him. Hard almost. Not soft like some people said it was. Though he supposed it could be if you didn't ride English. He trotted around at a twenty meter circle. He wondered how long Mr. Matthews would keep them trotting like this. He was lucky he left his cell phone at his dorm room today. He wasn't sure if you would get in trouble if you brought it to your classes and it rang. At his old school you had to leave them in your lockers and have it on vibrate or silent.

"Hello, I'm Amber..." She smiled softly at Sam before studing the other girl closely. She smiled before looking down at Sam's horse and smiling,"You've got a gorgeous horse, by the way..." The bay gelding reminded Amber of Zoey. 'I should call Percy about her and the rest of the horses too...' She made a mental note before patting Black's neck gently. She hardly ever talked to anyone, so this was an accoplishment for her.

Amber smiled as she told Mr. Matthew her name, before listening to his intructions carefully. With a nod, Amber backed Black out of the circle and headed to the far side of the ring. She asked for a slow jog as she turned Black, asking for a nice bend as he went around. The black quarter horse kept his head nice and level with the saddle, only throwing it once as Amber asked him to pick up the pace just a little. 'Brat...' The thought ran through her head as Black threw his ebony head up in the air, his mane flapping against his neck. She gave him a small kick and a little jerk on the reins as he collected his head and contiuned his jog around the circle.

The girl next to Sam replied, calling herself Amber. "Well, nice to meet you Amber." Sam stated warmly, and smiling. Amber complemented Sam's horse, leaving Sam trying to find a reply. "Likewise." Her attention was barely taken by the man talking. He called the names of riders. Sam wasn't truly paying attentions when the man had been calling names, and caught the last part of hers. "Um, here!" Once he was finished, one of the girls had asked for a cone, causing Sam to consider it. The idea was quickly turned down.

The blonde neck reined the bay towards the fence, slightly squeezing her legs, asking for a smooth trot. The gelding tossed his head lightly, and picked up the correct gate, and lead. She smiled as the horse's ears flickered, then head tossed again as Sam asked him to begin a circle. Goliat expected to lope in a circle, and picked up his pace, which she easily corrected. The girl began to tire of circling the gelding, who started to lag.
