Subject: 1st gallop!
In reply to: Jennifer 's message, "FLAWLESS!!!!" on 15:41:38 04/22/02 Mon

The next morning after a brisk gallop on Limit, Jenny led Flawless to the track and mounted. Today she was going to gallop the filly for the first time. They warmed up and then Jenny crouched lower in the saddle, kneading her hands along the filly's neck, loosening the reins and squeezing with her heels. Flawless broke into a smooth, rythmic gallop, covering the distance with powerful strides. Jenny rocked with the motion of the mare's gait, and urged her forwards. They hugged the rail as they sprinted over the dirt. Jenny fed out more rein, asking for more speed. Flawless responded instantly, lengthing her stride, stretching out, shooting ahead with faster, longer strides. The filly breezed along by the rail, content at the fast pace. Jenny saw the half marker pole whiz by and reluctantly pulled the filly up. She didn't want to overdo it on the first day, although secretly she knew the mare hadn't even tired. Flawless dropped obiedantly to a trot and they headed for the gap. Brandon, grinning broadly, showed Jenny the time for the easy gallop and they led Flawless to the barn to be cooled off.
