Phoebe rode Monster Man down the trail smiling. He trotted energetically and seemed to be having a great time as well. When she saw the cross country course Phoebe smiled.Ready, bud?She asked for a canter and he responded immediately.That's a boy.As they approached the first fence she pushed her heels down and gave Monster his head. He glided over the fence, hi back legs springing off the ground. The smile on Phoebe's face increased in width as they came to a log jump. It was larger than the first, but she knew Monster could take it. He flew over it with outstanding precision. The next jump had a pool of water behind it. Water was their weakness.You can do it boy. Phoebe encouraged him with her seat. He almost back down, but Monster trusted Phoebe with all of his heart. His stride was smooth and proud and his ears were perked foreword. After making a sharp turn there was a ditch jump. Phoebe held her breath as they leaped over it. Next it was a double. Monster didn't have any problems with them, but Phoebe was a different story.Shape up.She told herself. She gave Monster his head and they leaped over them both of the them effortless.Good boy!Said Phoebe as she leaned over and gave him a apt.That's enough for today.She took him back on the trail to cool out.
