Not a dressage horse.

Description

Andrew had noticed lately that his mare, SHS Autumn, was not particularly happy in her dressage training. At first, it had been going great, but over the past few weeks since they started training, she had gotten worse and worse. Finally one day, Andrew was lunging her in the outdoor arena after a ride. A few minutes later, he unclipped the lunge and replaced it with a lead line, heading towards the barn. Alex sat atop the fence of the arena, and they started to talk about the mare's behaviour. As they did so, Autumn grew more and more impatient standing in the chilly air with nothing to do. She could hear Noelle and Rio calling out to her in the pasture next to the arena, too. Finally, she turned and leaped in the opposite direction, leaving Andrew and Alex to stand in total surprise as the mare took off, leadrope and all, towards the fence at a full gallop. Andrew was sure she would never try to jump the fence, while Alex worried that she may slip on the snowy ground. Proving both of them wrong, Autumn cleared the high arena fence and landed with a gentle thud on the other side, trotting proudly over to her two mare friends. Alex and Andrew just looked at each other. what just happened? Alex was the first to speak up,

'I think she's probably not a dressage horse Andy!' she giggled.

'I guess not, eh? better go get her xD ' Andrew motioned for her to follow, and the two headed in the direction of the mare.

i'm not a very good story-writer =P but yea, SHS Autumn was beginning to bore of dressage, sometimes it's just not a horses' preference. Andrew wouldn't have known this, of course, because his mare is only 3 years old and they've only been paired together for 6 months now. it's pretty clear now, she's a jumper xD
