Molly took Laurel to the dressage ring with Remy and Pusher. The younger mare was fired up and ready for a long workout. And that was exactly what Molly intended. The Lipizzaner mare was her upcoming champion, and she felt slightly guilty for not riding her the day before.

Remy started tightening Pusher's girth and getting ready to get on. Pusher was acting strangley good for have a mare around. As Remy started getting on she remeber and said to Molly "Oh. Where is Jake?"

As Remy spoke, Jake entered the ring with Rory. "Oh, hey, Remy. Molly." He walked the stallion into the center of the ring, and kept the reins taut. Rory studied Pusher carefully. He didn't like other male horses, regardless of them being intact or not. "Easy boy," he told Rory. he mounted, nodded to the women, and took to the wall to begin warming up. "He's a man of few words, isn't he?" Molly remarked, mounting Laurel.

"Yes he is." replyed Remy "He makes me feel like I'm being obnoxious and won't shut up." as Remy climbed on "Ugh thats a work out in itself!" she exclaimed with a laugh. "Well let's go!" said Remy heading out to the wall.

Molly laughed along with Remy and followed her to the wall. During their ride, she worked on contact. Laurel was a lovely horse to ride, but being a mare, she was massively distracted by Rory riding with them. She already had problems focusing, and didn't like taking contact with the bit, so the added distraction was not helping. But it was good to get her used to the warm-up ring environment.
Jake was working on leg yielding and shoulder-in. Rory was distracted by the mare in the ring and didn't want to settle down, so they worked on a bit of impulsion to get him working.

Remy worked on two tempis with Push which he was performing very well today. Remy was very pleased with how he was performing and finished because she didn't want to push him and she also wanting to end on a good note. She went to the center of the ring and watched the other. Both riders looked exelent but because their horses were distracted they were having some trouble Remy noticed but neither look to bad.

Jake came to the center of the ring. "Well," he said, quietly as always, "I suppose I'm done for the day. I'll see you tomorrow, Remy." He turned to locate Molly and called out, "I'll be here in the morning!" Molly waved goodbye to him, then joined Remy in the middle. "Bye Jake!" called Remy as he left the dressage ring. "You wanna hit the jump ring for a bit before evening feed?" asked Molly.

Remy turned to Molly after saying goodbye to Jake, "Why doesn't he talk?!?! But sure let's go!"

"I'm not sure. But he'll warm up to us eventually." With that, Molly opened the gate and they walked over to the jump ring.
