Ok I've figured that ordeal out!!
General Trainer Audition......
Gunnar was giving a basic lesson today. The chubby ten year old needed basic ground lessons and a riding lesson. Her pony ( a raggy swayback POA ) was very tempermental. As the little girl lead the pony down the clean aisleway he nipped her on the arm. Loud shrieks filled the stable as fat tears rolled down the childs cheeks. She had dropped her lead and the POA booked. As her mother tended to the
AUGH! I gotta go more later....

O.k that was a long time ago so i am going to start and new one. ( i did barrels cuz that's my specialty! )
Gunnar took a swig of her lukewarm water. It was a veru hot summer day as the sun beat down on her bronzed skin. She was waiting for Marly to warm up her horse. (Which wouldn't take long on this summer day. The pair was circling in the wrong lead. " Kay, Mar , you need to switch him into your right lead. Doesn't it feel a little weird how he's loping?" "Yeah." Marly repiled. " That's because your in the wrong lead! Gather a little bit more of your right rein in your right hand." at that moment the lope became more smooth. " There ya go!" Gunnar hollered. "Stop and go the other way." Gunnar walked over to second barrel and checked it again. She moved it over to the left until it lined up with first. " You ready now?" she asked " Yes Tito is all warmed up" Marly replied. "We aren't going to do alot today because of the heat. " Gunnar said as leaning against the Quarter Horse. " Ok. What I want you to do is lope easy barrels and if you have wide or super tight pockets, go around the barrel until you feel it is a normal pocket. Don't be afraid to do it. I'll give you my perspective after. " "Kay." she replied. Gunnar ran to the rail and hopped up. She was ready to watch. With a looke of determintion, Mar turned the palimino Quarter Horse and started off in an easy lope even if Tito wanted to got faster. Mar dropped her rein a little too early at first barrel and they took the barrel down on her knee. Mar shrugged if off and went to second barrel. She dropped her rein and put her left heel into Tito's side. Perfect! Tito tried to lengthen his stride but Mar would not allow him go any faster. As they pulled a nice third barrel. Tito came up to me with a smug look on his face. "That was a pretty good run but you need to check him in on first barrel. He shouldn't shoulder it like that. I'll let you run a pattern but I am not going to judge it today, we'll continue this lesson when it's cooler out like mabye later tonight." Gunnar said " Ok! I'll run him through," Mar said as she set up first barrel. It was a law at Gunnar's lessons "If you knock it, you pick it up and start again." " See of you just pick him up or check him back if you have to you would have a great pocket. Also put your heel into his side to pick him up it also works." Gunnar implied as Mar mounted up again. She lined Tito up and started off. At this time Gunnar had started off towards the barn. She walked into the main office and unlocked hers. She grabbed two sodas out of her fridge. The cool air felt very nice. By this time the pair had arrived back in the barn and were untacking. When Marly was done Gunnar handed her the soda. She guzzled down the soda. "Oof. I needed that. Thanks." she said happily. " Good job today. " Gunnar said as she was walking out. "Thanks and see you later!" she replied as she patted Tito's golden nose. "Bye boy." with one final pat and she was off.
