Shannon stuck her toes out to the side. It was hard to remember it all at once.

"Good! Perfect Shannon!" Josh praised with a smile. Shannon had her back straight, she was posting, her heels were down, and her toes were out. The only thing was that she was holding on to Rocky's mane but she could do that until she got used to his trot.

Shannon smiled and continued what she was doing. It was fun but it was a bit scary. Atleast Rocky was being a good boy for her.

Rocky nickered happily and continued to do as Shannon asked. Josh smiled. He had never seen Rocky take to someone, besides him, so quickly.

Shannon smiled and patted Rocky. He was such a sweet boy. Then she quickly grabbed hold of the mane again.

Rocky started to move a little quicker. He wasn't being bad. He just figured that Shannon would want him to run faster because Josh usually started him at a walk, then a trot, and then a canter. Rocky didn't really canter. He was just trotting very quickly.

Shannon pulled back on the reins, she didn't like that trot at all.

Rocky immediately slowed down and went back into his normal canter when he realized that Shannon didn't want him to go that fast. He was actually behaving himself.

Shannon was glad that Rocky realized she didn't want to go fast. She patted him.

Rocky nickered happily and continued to trot at the same pace. Joshua laughed. "Good job Shannon!" he called with a grin.

Shannon smiled. She made sure that she kept her heels down and her toes out, and that her back stayed straight.

Once they had been riding like that for a long while, Rocky started to get tired. He stayed at the same place but his head was lower and his steps were closer to the ground. Josh smiled slightly. "You can bring him in now Shan. I think he's getting tired which believe me, is a good thing!" he laughed. Rocky had a tendancy to be a little hyper.

Kay. Shannon said. She sat in the saddle and pulled back on the reins to tell him to stop. She made sure that she was sitting up so she didn't lose her balance.

Josh hopped down from the fence and walked over to Rocky. He took the reins and walked Rocky into the center. He held Rocky tightly so that Shannon could dismount without worrying about Rocky moving.

Shannon took her feet out of the stirrups once Rocky was standing still in the center and then swung her right leg over his back and jumped down. She landed better than she had the day before.
