As I walk up to a dapple gray horse prancing around in it's stall "easy girl" I say trying to calm her down "the names Misty ma'am" "Oh, sorry you gave me a fright" I say "you must be Lisa ma'am?" The man asks.  "just call me Lisa". "well tack up then, and we'll see if Misty is right for you".

 So I walk off to the tack room and collect the gear and hang it on the fence opposite to the stall to gear up Misty, then after a while, I hop onto the fence and slide onto Misty's back. When I arrive at the ring the man is standing there looking at his watch "your late" he says "we are late" I snap back "it's me and you" I say again "I'm not the one late here" says the man getting angry "really" I say with a tone and immediately I walk Misty on around the ring before he can reply to me, and then he shouts "trot on" so I ask for a trot and start.

 "very nice, very nice" the man says again "now extend" he shouts once more so I move my right leg slightly back and move my left leg slightly forward then squeeze and with that Misty and I were doing and extended trot around the ring "Canter up and over the jump" shouts the man again so then I ask for a steady short stride canter, and turn to face the jump then a few strides out I ask to extend the canter, and Misty flew through the air and landed the 90 cm high jump with no trouble at all.

 "well done that was very nice" says the man as he claps "that will be all for now, go put Misty back and meet me in my office and be on time!" the man says "ok" I reply with a little giggle and a smirk "be on your way now" says the man as I walk off.
