I talked with Daniel for a few more minutes before he left, and did my homework. Jasmine avoided me at school which I'm thankful for and now I'm trying to get back in the Olympics with Rebel. I stare at the small cross jump I set up in the arena. step by step. I keep telling myself that. I take a deep breath and mount Rebel, staring at the jump. I feel a little dizzy at first and when I realize I'm just sitting still, I relax.
"If we do this jump, it's apples for you Rebel." I say, patting his neck. Rebel nickers. I give a soft laugh." lets see if I can make it through a warm up." I squeeze his sides and start at a sitting trot. the light bouncing is relaxing and I start to post before cantering a lap. I'm breathing heavily at the end, due to I haven't ridden for a while. Then I line Rebel up to the jump, and start cantering.
