Story:


Heather tried to calm her pounding heart as she lead Cairo to the ring with a halter and lead rope. She heaved a sigh to calm herself and slipped the halter off, leaving it with a staff member as she hopped onto the Gypsy Vanner Stallion's bare back without any tack. She clucked lightly and he pranced into the ring. He listened to every command she gave with a smoothness to where you weren't able to tell she was even giving commands. Cairo was trained in dressage so.. for their bare back show she decided to put together a special little routine with all his best dressage moves. She and the stallion had practiced tons, and his calm personality and intelligence made him a dream to train without the bridal. She couldn't help but grin from ear to ear as he went up on hind legs and come back down without jolting her.
After their routine was through the large stallion went into a low bow and Heather slid off, slipping his halter on once more and leading him out to wait for the results..
