at the first chosen fence, a 5ft double oxer. Soars over it, hooves tucked up neatly in front of her. Turns sharply, basically landing and spnning straight away, to canter on to the 4ft brick wall triple. Jumps the first two neatly but jumps slightly side-ways at the third fence. Canters a straight line to a 4ft 6 water jump. Looks at the water warily before putting in a huge jump, determined not to get a hoof wet. She takes the next jump, a 4ft barrel, easily and canters on to the 4ft 9 triple oxer. Jumps the three fences neatly, a hoof rattling one of the poles but it stays in place. Watches the hay jump warily, expecting something to jump out at her. At the last minute she changes her mind and swerves violently away from it to head on to the 4ft, 4ft6, and 5ft triple. Comes into the first one too crooked and has to jump it enormously to get over, sets herself up for the last jumps and jumps nicely despite knocking a few poles of the last fence. Turns back towards the hay jump, knowing she must do it or Michael would beat her as her old owner did if she was unable to jump. As she jumps, she catches her foreleg in the hay and trips, spiralling on the ground. Leaps to her feet, shaking the sand off her as blood oozes frm a gash on her hindquarters. Walks over to Michael, not limping, and sniffs at his hair.=
