After taking Stella back to her stall and untacking her, Tori went to Poe's stall to finish getting the gelding ready for the fun classes. "Are you ready?" She asked the horse as she finished tacking him up, making sure that the breastplate was fitted properly and she quickly went and changed out of her stuffy English attire and into a comfortable pair of jean jods and pink Tinkerbell t-shirt.
With her western helmet fastened below her chin, she led the gelding outside and laughed as soon as he started dancing around. Not wanting to give him anymore excuse to play around, she quickly swung into the saddle and rode toward the barrel racing arena."Easy." She soothed as the horse began to dance from side to side, and she quickly put him through his paces as they warmed up and got loose and ready to run the barrels.
She grinned when it was their turn and she rode to the gate. She held Poe in and as soon as they were given the go, she gave the gelding his head, reins in one hand, the other at her side as they tracked to the right, spun around the barrel and she let the gelding run straight across the arena, she sat deep as they spun around the next barrel and she urged him to the last barrel. "Go, go, go!" She yelled as they gelding spun around the third barrel and she moved her hand toward the gelding's ears, letting him gallop for all he was worth and then they slid to a halt at the gate. "That is how you do it!" She said with a smile and a nod as they exited the arena.
