“Annabelle!” cried William from the indoor arena “I need your
advice!”
Kei was nervous as Annabelle left her alone out on the riding
alley beside the indoor arena, telling her that she could train
Viva on her own “Do some tempo changes,” she had said as she
disappeared into the building. Kei looked after her trainer.
“Okay. Better get going.” Thought Kei as she carefully pressed
her heals to Viva’s sides. The young mare started walking. Viva
had been home since her training at the RPS a month ago and
was doing very well now. She was calmer and could relax more
easily and didn’t become distracted as easily as before. It was a
couple of weeks left until Kei and Viva would participate in the
Summer Dressage Show, so every training session counted.
They would participate in the pas de deux with RPS Tamás
Szekuly and Sexcellance, the horse which Viva had taken a great
interest in and become very fond of.

Viva trotted in a collected pace with her chin stuck close to her
throat as she chewed her bit, keeping contact with Kei’s hands
through it. Kei was nervous to take to harshly in the reins, afraid
to hurt Viva since Kei wasn’t use to the curb and neither used to
the spurs attached to her heals. She carefully nudged the mares
sides and leaned slightly back to make her extend her gaits. And
she did. Viva went into a extended trot with high knee lifts which
was well fitted for a queen.
”Good girl. Goooood girl…” chanted Kei as they continued
trotting until they went over to a collected trot again.

Yay! I finally made this training picture! xD Finally!
Viva's pose was a true challenge with this legs xD

Oh, how pleased I am with this ^^ and what a beauty Viva is.
What I love about this mare is... look at the reins. She is so collected with her head and yet her reins is loose

It is a waste for Kei to be worried to hurt Viva's mouth as she chooses the collecting herself

Haha, and it is funny, because Viva is the only mare who still has her original tack xD She dosen't have the millitary tack, since she was un hungary with her tack when the burglary took place at RD's xD

I am eager to see what those two will do together with Vidar and Sexcellance at the Summer Dressage Show and if Kei and Viva will compete together also in the future after that
