BUT IT'S SO E M P T Y LIVING BEHIND THESE
Levi nickered to Melissa happily, for the third time in a row, as she led the tall horse down to the outdoor ring. The unproportioned animal's oversized ears flopped ridiculously on his head. The girl ruffled his short forelock, and he rubbed his forehead forcefully against her hand. She turned back around and continued onward, her boots crunching the dirt. They were her Western boots, and somehow she'd managed to fit her half-chaps over them. She wore jeans today, a helmet, obviously, and an old BRRA t-shirt. Levi sported his close-contact saddle and snaffle bridle, and his jumping boots.
When the pair entered the ring, Melissa shutting the gate quickly, and tightening the big gelding's girth, she turned to look at the jumps warily. She'd fallen off jumping quite a few times, as per usual, and that wasn't what was so dauting to her. It was the fact that her father found jumping to be so easy. How silly it must be for one of the best jumpers in the world to have a daughter who was only just learning the discipline at sixteen. He must have been a laughing stock for the last two years. She cleared her head, patted Levi, then walked to the mounting block.
The slender girl pulled herself up, gathered her reins and cued the bay to a walk. It wa sa quick warm-up, consisting of walking two laps on the rail in both directions, trotting, and cantering before Melissa finally turned the horse back toward the jump.
She started him at a slow canter, controlling his pace, though he mouthed the restraining bit eagerly. Melissa was focused, even if butterflies jumbled her stomach into knots. Her two-point wasn't sloppy, but it could have looked a little cleaner as she cleared the jump. They turned toward the next obstacle, her body moving with Levi's huge stride smoothly.
