I wake up the next morning and hear a knock on my door. I jump out of bed and go to the door. "Hello." I say in a soft voice. "Hi! it's just a room check. Time to wake up! your lesson is in 1 hour!" a lady with fancy clothes says to me as I was about to fall back asleep. "Okay." I say as I shut the door. "Shoot! I better get going!" I say to myself. I go into the bathroom and take a shower. After, I brush my teeth and walk out. I pick out a blue t shirt and some tan breeches and get dressed. I pick out my lucky leather belt and my lucky horse shoe socks. I pull my hair up into a ponytail and put a headband on. I decide to wear just mascara, and head out. I walk out to the hallway and see tons of girls. One says "Hi" to me and I say it back. "It's crazy here!" I say to one girl. She just ignores me.

Once I finally make it out of the building I start heading to the barn. I walk to Val's stall and open it. I pet his neck, close his door then head to the lesson board. I read it and I'm in group 1. there's 4 groups so I'm in the 10 o'clock group. I look at the clock and its around 9:30, so I have 30 minutes. I go get Val and put him in a washrack. I grab my tack and put it on the hooks. Val isn't that dirty so I quickly brush him then pick his feet. I put on my grey square pad and then my white half pad. After I put on my saddle, I also put my martingale and attach the girth. I put on Val's boots and then his earplugs. Then, I put on my helmet and gloves and then start bridling. After I put on his bridle on I head into the big indoor arena.

I tightened my girth and then head to the mounting block. Of course there's like 12 people in front me waiting to get on. I finally get a turn, and hop on. I put my feet in my stirrups and get situated. Wow. there's 13 other people in the ring. Good thing it's a huge arena. I walk around, and wait for instructions. Soon after a tall, thin lady walks in wearing a navy shirt and tan breeches. "Hello. I'm Dana Woodshaw. I'm the upper grades 6-9 trainer. I will be training you 4 days a week and the other 3 you will have free days to ride. Pick up a posting trot please." she said to us. I squeezed Val into the trot and tried to find myself some of my own room. I found some space and kept trotting. Soon she told us to extend the trot and step into the canter so I did. We canter a few laps and then she tells us to jump a small vertical. I head to the jump and get a perfect distance. She tells me to walk and wait in the middle since I'm done. "Great job guys. Now I know what level everyone is on so the new riding groups will be better. Please check your school email for your lesson days and time. Also read the free ride rules! Thanks and have a good day!" She said to us as we got off.
