Darcy checked up on Charline's riding skills before giving her the green light. "Go for it" The young woman said, giving her a encouraging nod.

It didn't take long for Lush to get used to the idea of freejumping over poles, she naturally excelled at the discipline. However, jumping with a person on her back might be a bit tricky. Darcy reassured Charline however that in the end, they'll fly over the bars like they're both superheroes. It was nice that someone believed in them, especially when it's the strict no-nonsense boss of MSL.

They did fine passing some cavalettis, until trying out the cross. Lush made a very weird, wide jump, but she didn't touch the pole. Charline held on all the manes she could grasp, hoping not to bite much of the sand. It took them weeks to smooth out Lush's wide jumping style, then they decided to try for some verticals.

Today would be the first try. The bay roan was excited, she took a huge liking to charge to a jump and soar over it. Even though it was ugly to look at, the fact that she enjoyed it meant a lot to Charline. The mare got a look at the jump before they circled it and attempted to jump it. Lush stopped right before the jump but then gathered all her forces and with a huge huff, managed to get the team over the poles.

They landed very *gracefully*, both of them grunting of the impact. "Well, that's not really how it should be done." Charline heard Darcy say, whom was standing on the side, arms crossed. "Try it once more, but with a larger circle." She suggested. The young woman got back to work, getting Lush in a collected canter, she led her straight for the obstacle. This time, the mare didn't halt right before it, instead, she took a wide jump again, but she didn't have as bad of a landing as before.

Darcy clapped once they got by her. Charline patted Lush. "There we go! You both are going up the ranks in no time"




Perspective killed me, but hey, Lush finally finished her equiBREAK course xD !
