Magpie looked up from her hay and stuck her head out of her stall, watching the door, waiting for the humans to walk in.

Rose watched as the nice kid walked in she overheard them saying that the rude kid lesson was canceled as the rude kid just wanted to stay home. he rude kid canceled his lesson so looks like it's only the nice kid with a 2-hour lesson."Rose said to her sister watching as the nice kid patted her sister before checking on her. She sniffed the boys hand and let him pet her and watched him heading over to tack up her sister.

Magpie perked up "Oh good!!" she said in relief, putting her head lower and nudging the boy's pockets, looking for snacks. He moved on to pet her sister, then came back, sliding the door open, and stepping in with the halter. She lowered her head and he slipped it on, then tied her to her hayrack to tack her up. Sliding her door open again he disappeared in the tack room for a few minutes, then emerged with the saddle, saddle pad,bridle, and grooming brushes. She stayed relatively still as he brushed her and picked out her hooves, then tacked her up quickly and efficiently.

"Yep" Rose said watching as the boy lead her sister and quickly groomed her and tacked her up. Rose had overheard the boy may be able to lunge her for a bit as he was almost her a lot.

Magpie tossed her head eagerly as she felt her girth being tightened, as the boy was riding western that day. He adjusted the stirrups, then slipped the halter down her neck, quickly getting the bridle in front of her face. Willingly she opened her jaws and took the bit, fiddling with it till it was comfortable on her tongue as he fastened it, then unhooked the halter from her neck. She nickered to her sister as he led her by, and into the arena.

Rose heard her sister nicker to her as the boy led her into the arena to warm up. Rose watched as the owner let her go in the pasture while her sister had her lesson so rose was able to move her legs a bit so they would be able to move.

Magpie quickly moved to the arena, and the boy walked her around once. She never really understood why they did that, but she did enjoy the small warm up it gave her, and time to relax before he got on. Stopping her, the boy quickly tightened the girth, then led her over to the step stool, looping the reins over her head then swinging up. Adjusting his stirrups slightly, he then clicked to her, and she moved out at a fast walk, head bobbing as she made her way to the rail. She could see her sister in the pasture, and was glad she'd get some time to exercise herself as well.

Rose was in the pasture with another one of the lessons ponys who was quite old so they got along nicely. Rose watched her sister's lesson for a bit before grazing a bit longer.

As per usual, Magpie was cued into a slow walk, normal walk, and extended walk, before moving on to a trot, then a canter. She loped along effortlessly, neck arched as she enjoyed the feeling of balance with the boy. They neared the first jump and he cued her. Clearing it with room to spare she landed and continued around the arena, tossing her mane slightly with exhilaration.

Rose grazed for a bit before the owner came and brought her inside to her stall.

Magpie cantered for the next few minutes, soaring over the jumps at the guidance of the boy, and loving every bit of it. Finally the boy cued her to slow to a trot, then a walk, and she tossed her head impatiently, wanting to keep going. He checked her with the reins and she huffed but obeyed, slowing down and snorting. Even though the lesson had been longer than usual it didn't feel that way, and she just wanted to keep going and going. But obviously the lesson had ended, because he was taking her around in a normal walk to cool her down. Oh well.

Rose ate some hay that was in her stay that the owner had put in her stall for her.

The boy slowed Magpie to a stop, then swung off of her and gave her a pat on the neck. The owner opened the gate, and they headed for the barn. She whinnied a greeting to her sister as she entered and was tied up, and the boy began removing her tack.

Rose watched as her sister appeared from her lesson and into the barn where she heard her sister whinny a greeting to her so she neighed back. Before watching as the owner walked over to her and gave her a pat on her neck.
