Ben held out the slice of pear to Lady, who snatched it from his palm and proceeded to eat it, taking a decent amount of time to do so. In the meanwhile, Ben got his tack and brush box from the tack room and brought them back to Lady's stall. He brushed her, grinning and tickling her nose when she arched her neck around to look for more treats.
After tacking her up, he put on his helmet and led her out to the show jumping arena, walking her around once before mounting in the center. He surveyed the jumps he'd set up earlier. He'd put up a jumping course that had jumps ranging from 2'9" to 3'9" in height, some of which featured spreads. He'd also put up a couple of warm up jumps.
Guiding Lady to the rail, he warmed her up thoroughly and jumped the warm up jumps a couple of times before turning his attention to the course. Lady was certainly feeling the effects of the changing temperatures, and was especially sensitive today. She hadn't bucked yet, and Ben thought that she wouldn't unless he got too heavy on her, but he wouldn't be surprised if she decided to throw a fit.
