Amber leaned against the rail surrounding the indoor arena holding up the camera, Mia standing to her left, Robin and Jay to her right. They'd made sure to be there, it was Mia's first time seeing one of their mares compete. Even if it was just in their home arena, getting to see Beatrice all dressed up was exciting.
"She's got such a cute, dainty jump." Mia said quietly, holding her palms to her cheeks. And she did, Beatrice kind of "hopped" over jumps like a doe with her legs tucked up tight. They'd have to work on a more efficient jump for the higher obstacles, but for now it didn't seem to be stopping her from clearing the jumps.
Ethan got a kick out of it once he'd gotten used to sitting it. It was a bit of a strange take-off to ride. But overall the mare was a fun mount. She was such a quiet and reserved horse that it was easy for her to fade into the background. But she came alive under saddle and her bright legs flashing over jumps, her tail bobbing as she bounced over them, she was like a completely different animal.
As they made a sharp turn and pointed toward the last jump, Ethan could feel Beatrice lagging a bit. She was still young, she didn't quite have her stamina built up.
"C'mon girl, one more! You can do it!" Ethan called from her back, giving a light, encouraging squeeze with his calves.
"Let's go, Beatrice!"
"You can do it!"
The rest of the team cheered from the sidelines, Amber clapping her free hand against the fencing as Beatrice cleared the final jump with a snort. Ethan pulled her up and her ears flicked toward the small crowd still cooing in her direction. Ethan ran his fingers along her sweaty neck, signing her praises.
"Good girl, you did so good!"
