EDIT: OKAY I found the psd file everything is okayyyy

EDIT: omg I uploaded the wrong file AGAIN.
I always put in the photo bg as a prototype then reference it but I forgot to sAVE THE FINAL THING

FINALLY, the last image for Mollie-Fish's training is completed!

Joseph, with his trailer and Melancholy Hill in tow, had driven four hours with Ayn to a training center. The center also doubled as a garden and was well known for it's bright cherry blossoms which bloomed at the beginning of spring. Ayn had tagged along, thinking Joe had brought her for some dressage schooling. She was in for a surprise.
After turning Mollie out in one of the small arenas, he offered Ayn a bag of treats and a whip. She raised an eyebrow at him, and after some explaining from Joseph, she found out that Mollie was actually being trained in Liberty! Ayn was shocked, and the stuffy dressage-rider turned her nose up at the idea. The thought of riding without a saddle, and even without a bridle seemed ridiculous to her.
"How do you get her on the bit without a bridle? How to do you keep her engaged? This whip is too short! What if she takes off? What if-"
"Whoa, slow down there." Joseph chuckled and put one hand on her shoulder, then other giving her the whip. He pushed her into the arena, "We're gonna work on something a little different." He smiled, "something where you don't have to worry about those things." As they spoke, Mollie trotted around the arena with her tail raised and nostrils flared. After a few strides she paused to look over at the two humans, tail still erect. "Go on-" Joseph encouraged Ayn, "interact with her. Remember what your old dressage trainer taught you? It's all about communication. You don't need fancy things like bits and spurs to do that, now do you?"

-----

Needless to say, by the end of the session Ayn was- although she hated to admit it- thoroughly enjoying her self, as was Mollie. The mare has freed up so much both physically and mentally with the Liberty training Joe had been doing with her!
