The golden overlays of a late winter's morning slowly breached the arena's skylights as Kinsey and Owen worked their horses through a pattern of barrels, welcoming the warmth of the sun's rays as it crept over the freshly groomed dirt. Feeling the effects, Armonia exhaled the likes of a content sigh and shook her mane as a warming shiver ran over her. In the saddle, Owen reached down to pat the neck of the colorful dunskin mare before returning his attention to his fellow trainer as she took her own horse around the barrels, three set in a rather condensed triangle. Reflecting the obstacle of a working equitation course, the competition's pattern was the selected workout of the morning--just at a tad bit slower tempo. Though Owen spent most of the morning groaning about the fact he'd be spending the morning loping in circles, (because today's workout was Kinsey's idea) the trainers were well aware of the benefits that simply running in circles offered, Kinsey just wouldn't hear Owen acknowledge it. One after another, the horses danced through the pattern, testing their agility at whichever rate their rider, who worked on balance and cues, asked of them while the other basked under the sunlight. Preparation for working equitation competitions were in full swing.
