" C'mon, Lucy, Leg on!" Aaron yelled from the middle of the large sand ring. It was Lucinda's lesson day. Currently she was trotting the big bay mare down the long strech and trying to get her to extend without cantering away.
" Half-halt and leg!"
" I'm tryin' im tryin'" Lucy called out breathlessly, the big mare was alot of work.
" Good! You have it! Keep you leg on, Half-halt! Good! Hold her lightly!"
Lucy had the big mare extending the whole long strech, which was huge since it was olymipic sized.
"Alright, you can have a break, then I want her extending the other way."
Lucy walked View half the time around, prepared and urged the big mare into a trot, circled once and pressed her leg on for an extend. The mare was hesitant and continued trotting at a normal pace. Lucy put her leg on harder, finally the View moved forward.
" Good, you got it, kiddo!" Aaron called out enthusiastically
" Alright, now prepare and canter"
Lucy slwed the mare to her normal trot, slid her outside leg back and asked for the canter, View listened and cantered nicely
" Good, Do a circle up there then come down and get your lead change"
Lucy circled twice, then came down the diagonal, she slipped her outside leg back and asked for the change. View swapped leads easily.
" Alright, do acouple more and then we'll do alittle jumping" Aaron said, setting up a little crosspole.
Lucy did the changes easily, slowed View to a nice trot and trotted straight towards the crosspole, View jumped big and trotted away.
" Okay, do that acouple more times, I see Danalyn coming on Gift"
Lucy did she was told, then walked the slightly sweaty mare out, watching her sister trot around on Gift.
