Aaand another show entry, 3 in a week! Going to give my tablet some rest now x)
Kalita's first dressage show (: It's not really working out the way Kate hoped it would xD poor Kate..

Also! I am considering to open up for commissions, but I don't know if A) there are people interested in commissioning me, and B) how much I should ask for a commission. Anybody an idea what an reasonable price is? (:

'It's going great so far!' Hazel said as she helped Kate get on Kalita.
'Yes I know! She was perfectly calm at the halter class and did her best showing her awesome gaits at liberty. I'm so proud of her!' Kate petted the mares neck and shortened her reins. She rode some figures through the warm-up area and made sure the mare was relaxed and focused. Though she had been working all day already, Kalita was still bursting of energy. Bravely she trotted foreward through the grass while whinnying to other horses that passed the area every now and then.
After the warm-up, Hazel led them to the right dressage ring. Kalita curiously watched the car in which the judged were sitting. She chewed nervously on her bridle and waited for Kate to tell her what to do.
'A - Enter in working trot. Between X and G halt and salute.' Hazel read out from the sideline. They started their round rather well. 'Proceed in working trot, C - Track left.' Although Kalita wasn't 100% relaxed she did well on her first few figures, she bended nicely and made some beautiful transitions. After a while the two were doing better and better, the mare was relaxing a bit more and started to enjoy the riding. 'F-X-H - change rein showing a few lengthened strides.' Hazel said and glanced at the pair. Kate bended the mare nicely through the corner and proceded to lengthen her strides a bit. Kalita happily whipped her tail and sprinted forward. With a thoughtful buck she pulled Kate off balance and before the suprised rider realized what was happening the mare had ran towards the dressage wall and jumped over it in an enormous leap. Kate shortened her reins and rode a small circle forcing the horse to slow down to a working step. She took a deep breath and looked over to Hazel who looked over at the judges car, not knowing what to do. In the mean time an organizer of the event had opened the the entrance of the dressage ring they had landed in. She smiled and waved that they needed to get out of the ring. They had interrupted another pair who was now waiting to continue.
'Oh my god, Kalita, what have we done? D:' Kate whispered to the mare who was chewing her bridle again, enjoying all the people that stared at them. Kate awkwardly apologized to the organizer and walked back to the dressage ring in which they were supposed to ride.
'We should have entered her in the hunter class..' Hazel mumbled as they rode along her. Luckily they could do the course again.
