Featuring: 
N0015 WRR Blue Bell and 
Jarin Jackson

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jarin couldn’t take his eyes of the pair working around the arena. Tristan made riding Zaphiare look so easy as they did complicated dressage maneuvers in the arena. Jarin didn't know what the half-pass and passage were but they looked so pretty an cool!
He patted Blue’s sweaty shoulder. He so desperately wanted to do those kind of things. He had seen just a glimmer of Blue’s potential and wanted to see what else she could do. But first thing was first, he needed to get this trot thing down.
He took a bit to get back on, not quite sure how to go about it since the mounting block was out of sight. He kind of swung a leg up in the saddle and climbed on like a bear cub climbing a tree for the first time, grabbing mane, neck, pommel, whatever he could to get up there.
Blue was more than happy to take the boy crawling on her. 
She was used to little monkey-children crawling on her from her previous occupation being a backyard pet that toted little kids around the house. What difference did it make if this kid was a little bigger? At least it meant she could stand there and catch her breath. She was sure today was the day that she would die.
Jarin finally got on board and settled into the saddle and stirrups. He went through his mental checklist: straighten up, heels down, stirrups on the balls of his feet, gather the reins. Once that was in order, he took a deep breath and got back to work. Their trot still looked nothing like Zaphiare’s. Blue was still strung out, not really extended, not really collected – just kind of going...

Hold your butts, ladies and gentlemen! Jarin is RIDING. Not very WELL but he's coming along :'D Or...at least...he's trying? Blue is definitely his only salvation out of his three Abelsias. She's very tolerant of Jarin since he's a lot like the children she was used to. xD
