Seb grabbed poles from the storage area, taking two at a time to make it quicker. Balancing them on her shoulders she quickly walked towards the indoor arena and put them off to the side. She was thinking, maybe, eight. It was a good number to practice on, seeing as most shows were between ten and sixteen, sixteen was more for higher shows though. Seb had no intentions of showing this year. But she needed to pick up Twilights training pace so she could finish her out so when Hope made her decision on Seb’s future job she wouldn’t have to worry so much about Twilight and could help Hope out more. Twilight would still be her 24/7 priority, no doubt, but when she wasn’t going to be training Twilight she knew she’d probably have other horses to train. It all depends on Hope’s decision.
After grabbing the eighth pole she pulled out the legs of the jumps and set them up as quickly as possible. The faster she was done, the faster she’d get Twilight from the stall and get her training started. Like any new horse, Twilight has never seen a jump before, so Seb made it easy on her and placed every other rail at the second hole, the poles in between were at the third. They were low enough for bareback and for the fact that she was inexperienced. With the jumps set up Seb was quick to pull her horse from her stall and lead her easily down to the arena.
Using the step up Seb was settled on the buckskin’s back and easing her into a slow trot. A few rounds of the ring and she set her horse up to the first fence. Now, she didn’t have any bridle, no saddle. She didn’t eve use a bareback pad. What she wasn’t expecting was for Twilight to freak and swerve too quickly. It wasn’t long before Seb was on the ground laughing so hard her stomach hurt. Gathering herself up she brushed herself off and led Twilight, who had stopped after her fall, back to the mounting black. It continued like this until Twilight accepted the jumps. Before that, Seb was narrowly keeping herself upright with all the bucking and swerving. She didn’t let it dim her determination though. She’s taken more falls than she can count, it’s a fact of life and she accepted. With no saddle she figured it would happen.
When Twilight was moving smoothly at the canter Seb upped the rails two pegs each. Three for the poles on peg two. Twilight was accepting them faster than she’d think she would, but it only made her happier.
OOC//: This is simply going to be a spot for Seb to train with Twilight, I'd like it if nobody else posted here. You can call it a log if you want XD
