Subject: *the short blond girl walks in, her blue/gray eyes bright*

*she reaches her horses 4 stalls and feeds each one before filling their water buckets and haynets. She then leads Hero, Silky, Golden, and Angel outside while she cleans their stalls. She walks out of the barn and whistles for the Golden, she leads him in and ices his knees and wrapping his right leg before leading him back to his stall. She then leads in Hero and grooms him before putting the big gray stallion back in his clean stall. She then brings in Silky and lets her run around in the round pen. She smiles and puts Angel in crossties, grooming the filly briskly before putting on her bridle and saddle and wrapping her legs. Erica puts on her helmet and springs into Angel's small exercise saddle outside the barn. She then straps her helmet on and walks Angel through the trails.

She waits for a few minutes before urging the big filly into a trot through the shadowy woods, her heartbeat matching the rythym of her mount's strides. Her hands are light yet firm on the reins, her voice gentle as she hums to the filly, after about 20 minutes, she leans forward in the saddle asking for a canter along the straight smooth path. She hums to the beat of Angel's strides, making up her own lyrics. She smiles and reaches down to pat the filly's neck before wiggling her pulling back on the inside rein slightly and wiggling her fingers on her outside rein as they go around the bend, after a few more strides she leans forward instructing the racehorse to give it all she's got. She tucks her head and gives her rein, letting her body move with the filly's strides. A smile forming on the girl's face. When she begins to see the stable yard she leans back, pulling firmly on the reins repeatedly to slow the filly. She dismounts as she halts and runs her stirrups up the leathers, she then untacks her and cools her out before rinsing her off and putting her back in her stall.

She then walks down to the next stall and brings Golden out, she hooks a lunge line to his halter and leads him to another roundpen. As she stands in the middle of the pen she watches his strides lookin for lameness or any soreness. She clucks softly asking for a trot from the big palomino colt. She studies his movements carefully, after seeing nothing she kisses her lips asking for a canter. She smiles and lets him canter a few more times around before bringing him in. She pats his neck vigorously as she coils up the lead rope. Erica feels his chest to make sure he's not too hot before walking him out a little and putting him back into his stall. She then looks at Hero and smiles* You wouldn't want to come out would ya?

*she leads out the massive gray Andalusian. She smiles and brings him out and tacks him up before leading him to the jumping arena, she looks at the fences and raises them all up to 4-6ft tall. She makes some harder ones before mounting up on Hero and clucking softly asking for a trot. She smiles and circles him around the arena, stretching herself out as well. She then clucks and nudges him gently with her heels asking for a trot. She posts with the outside leg, her shoulders slightly forward and head straight. Her eyes looking between Hero's ears ahead of her. Her hands are soft yet firm on the reins. Her hands are down by his withers and her elbows are in. Her heels are down and her toes are out. Her calfs are hugged against his sides to keep her balance. She kisses her lips softly asking for a canter. She instantly rises out of the saddle, her heels acting as shock absorbers as she leans forward a little. She keeps the stallion in hand before looking at the first 3ft warm-up vertical, she counts strides and squeezes at the correct spot. She leans with the stallion and gives him rein at the right times. After to strides she reorganizes herself and looks at the 4ft vertical on the wall that they were approaching. Her eyes are glued ahead as she prepares for the fence. She lifts with him and gives him rein at the correct times. Her elbows remain straight and at the landing she immediatly looks up and counts two strides before jumping the 6ft panel fence. She then looks right collecting him through the corner and heading towards the 5x5ft brick wall. She clucks and stretches over with him. They remain in the air for several seconds before they land and trek right. She gets a flying lead change, her eye straight ahead looking at the christmas trees. She counts strides and gave rein, bounce, give rein, bounce, give rein, bounce, give rein. With ever bounch she squeezed her legs urging the stallion on. After the fences she circles the gray horse and slows him then cools him out, his gray neck almost black from sweat. She sniffs and untacks him when he's cool and washed him off. She then put him away and went to go get Silky*
*as she walked up to the mare's roundpen she whistled and clipped her leather lead to her halter and rubbed her nose* Sorry hun, but you're baby's gonna come soon, so no working for awhile *grins and leads her outside to let her graze for awhile with the other mares.
She then walks back in and takes out each horses tack and starts a load of laundry with the wraps and blankets and gets out the saddle soap to clean their tack*
