"Yeah... its a no from me," she chuckled before folding the blanket up neatly next to her. "How on earth can you swallow that?" She questioned before quivering softly. After a while of messing with her hair, she gave up and chuckled in defeat. "I'll be back in a bit, I feel like a mess and I probably don't look mich better." She huffed befor turning to her cabin to shower and sort her mop of hair out. |

"ok." Sam said, getting up and moving towards the yard. patting frost's grey head on the way, he fead Nero a carrot and sweeped the dusty yard. Halfway through, he had an idea. Grabbing hiscrosscountry saddle and bidle, he swiftly tacked Nero up and grabbed a spare hat. Ellie walked arounf the corner, hair no longer a frizzball. Sam walked out into the sunlight and handed Ellie the skull cap, a triumphant look on his face. Leading Nero out, fully tacked, he said "i think its time for you to learn to ride my way." |

Ellie swiftly got showered and changed befote brushing her hair out and putting it in a her signature pony tail. Her bright smile shone as she made her way back to the yard, but soon disappeared and turned into a look of confusion when she listened to what he had to say. "Really?" She asked with a sarcastic disappointment, "I thought I said no?" She questioned with a small chuckle. |

"nope." Said Sam. "come on, ever tried crosscountry?" He began leading Nero to one of the flattest, easiest fields with just some small logs and brushes up. "right." he said, swinging onto Nero's back. "watch me." Cantering at a medium, steady pace, he advanced towards one of the small logs. He took his butt off the saddle to be more balanced, then landed with a little thump, trotting back to Ellie. "give it a go?" |

Ellie watched Sam with a rather pale face. "Do I have to?" She complained with a childish pout as she took a step towards Nero and stroking his soft muzzle. She really didn't like the idea of being purposely on mid air on a horse, which was one of the mant reasons she didn't like English riding, along with having to hike her stirrups up. |

'yep.' Sam said triumphantly. 'if you really want, i can lead you over the jump. its only 30cm high.' said sam, holding his hands cupped for her foot so she could get onto Nero's tall back. Once Ellie had nervously got on, Sam said 'dont worry, he wouldn hurt a fly, let alone a human.' he said as he began leading Nero round in circles. |

(It went a bit like This we only did about three jumps on the whole course lol) "I really want to not do this," she pouted childishly as she glared at the shorter stirrups. "These are uncomfortable. How are you meant to sit?" She murmured. Out of the blue Sam started leading her towards the small jump. She tried to sit tight as Nero stepped gently over the log and she let out a small breath of relief as he came to a halt. |

(oh no! well at least i hope you had fun :) your horse is gorgeous. Also this had me missing the landscapes so much XD such beautiful beautiful fields...here the fields go dry within a week with all the sun) - "hey that wasnt so bad, was it?" Sam said, patting Neros neck and giving him a little treat for being patient with them both. "Just try and relax. And hey, maybe one day you can get revenge by teaching me your weird westerny ways." he did a fake shudder at the thought, grinning and laughing afterwards. "you want to go on your own? you dont have to go over the jump if you don't want to." he said calmly. |

(It was alright in the end, I took my tb out after and he was as good as gold. Its a little strange because the tb did the 90cm + and he cant do showjumping for shite. My cob can and has done 1m+ courses but cant do xc for the life of him. I'm a little big for my cobby though so once he gets a smaller rider on, that can actually hold him, he'll be perfect. We live on the Salisbury plains so its absolute torture that he doesn't hack >,>) "Your joking? Never again." She murmured as she took her feet out of the stirrups and stretched them out. "Westerny ways?" She asked with a small chuckle, "Yes, you can have a go on the barrels with Frost later on!" She teased quietly before patting Neros neck, "There's a few reasons I don't ride English. One of them being that this saddle hikes me up and forward." She grumbled before huffing softly, "Can I get off?" She questioned sweetly. |
