Rocky nickered happily and set off at a quick trot. Josh smiled. Shannon was doing really good. "Godo job Shan!" he told ehr with a grin.

Shannon sat to the bouncy trot. She focused on making sure that her heels stayed down, she sat up straight and her toes stuck out.

"Do you want to try your rising trot?" Joshua called. Rocky nickered excitedly and started to trot a little quicker.

Sure. Shannon said. You're going to have to tell me how to do it again though. She said.

Keep your heels down and kind of pull yourself up and down to the beat of Rocky's trot. Count to two in your head as you do it. It helps." he told her.

Shannon tried posting to the trot but sat for two beats and stood for two beats. It really wasn't comfy.

Josh laughed slightly and decided he would count for her. "One, two, one, two, one, two. Sit on the two. One, two, one, two, one, two." he called.

((Hey! I reached two thousand posts! I didn't even notice. lol))
Shannon posted in time with his counting. It felt better, but it was still wierd. She made sure that she stayed strsight up and she had her heels down and toes out.

((lol! Congrats!))
"Good job Shannon. You're doing a lot better today. Keep it up." he praised with a grin. Shannon's riding really was improving.

((lol))
Shannon continued trotting and focused on her heels, toes and how straight she was sitting. She held onto the pummel of the saddle so she didn't fall off.

"Good job Shannon! Try not to grab the pummel. Hold the reins tightly or even hold Rocky's mane. It won't hurt him." he called with a smile.

Shannon let go of the saddle and grabbed a chunk of Rocky's mane. She wasn't ready to not hold on to anything yet though.

"Keep posting." Josh reminded her. Shannon was really doing well but everytime she learned something new, she seemed to forget about the other stuff. Josh was like that too when he first started riding too.

Shannon started posting again, still holding the mane. She remembered to keep her heels down and sit up straight but her toes were turning foreward.
