After she finished with all her tasks, it was finally time for her lesson. She went into the tack room and picked up Marty's tack and grooming kit, she brought the items over to his stall. She joyfully led the Fjord gelding out of his stall and hooked him up to the crossties, she quickly groomed him and began to tack him up. Alice placed the saddle pad on then the jump saddle and hooked it up to the breastplate. He stood patiently in the crossties, knowing if he was good he would get tons of treats afterwards. Alice grabbed his white polo wraps and carefully wrapped them around his legs, making sure they were wrapped correctly. She then grabbed the bridle and unclipped the crossties from Marty's halter and put the reins over his neck. She slid his halter off and put her hand under the bit to encourage him to put it in his mouth, once he takes the bit she slides it over his ears and buckles up the throat latch and nose band. She grabs her helmet and places it on her head and buckles up the chin strap then makes sure her helmet isn't too loose. Once she makes sure her helmet fits correctly she grabs the reins and leads Marty up to the mounting block and halts him next to it. She places her left foot in the stirrup then swings her leg over and lands softly onto his back, she puts her right foot in the stirrup and gives the gelding a nudge with her legs and he walks forwards.

"Okay, go ahead and warm him up. Once you are done I want you to jump him over the blue and white vertical near me." Her instructor, Patrica, spoke to Alice in an kind yet loud voice since she had to speak to her from the other side of the arena. Alice trotted the Fjord around the arena, changing directions occasionally. After a few minutes of trot she sits deep in the saddle and ask Marty for a canter transition. He responds to her cue and goes into his usual bubbly canter, she does a circle around a jump. "Heels down!" The blonde instructor reminds her. She quickly pushes her heels down and does another circle then canters along the outside of the ring. He responds well and doesn't try anything naughty, he was normally a good horse."Okay, that's good enough. Go ahead and pop him over the jump." Patrica told her. She listens immediately and turns Marty towards the vertical and he stays in a steady pace while heading towards the jump, he easily leaps over the jump and Alice folds into a two point as he takes off and straightens as he lands. They continue the lesson for the next half an hour , she jumps multiple small jumps, each one seeming better until the end when the both started getting tired. "That is enough work today for the both of you." Patrica address both the rider and equine, "Let him have a loose rein and walk him around a bit."

Alice walks Marty on a loose rein around the ring then soon after walks him out of the arena and up to the barn, she takes her feet out of the stirrup irons and heaves herself up out of the saddle and to the left. She lands easily then pets Marty's neck and leads him into the stable to go untack him and rinse him down. His normal matte coat was now glistening with sweat from their hard lesson.
