Description

It's Vanilla's first show! :la: Very excited to have her out on her first. Viktor's been working hard with
her since she first arrived at DAS some months ago, and it seems like the work is showing some good.
He was a bit eager to put her training to the test, so we'll see how well she does here. :giggle:

I feel that warmer tones would best fit Vanilla, even in future pictures of her. I mean, they just
compliment her sooty palomino coat so well I think. x) Also think my highlights are getting a bit more
prominent. Now that I look back at some of my other images, man could they use more work. XD

"Easy, easy...Oh, why should I even bother anymore?" Viktor said as he eased the bit inside Vanilla's
mouth without trouble. This was the time where she would be a trickster and try nipping Viktor's hand,
like in her earlier days at DAS when she was successful at that. He then put on the reigns and took a 
look at his hands, where there were two scars of Vanilla's best successes. He laughed, and patted his 
mare's side. "I've taught you better, and see? You're in your first show, girl."

Viktor then slipped on his white gloves, now all dressed and ready, and led Vanilla over to where the 
other competitors were waiting for their turn. He did take his sweet time getting ready, being one of
the very last of the class, though the show had already begun. After leaving Vanilla secured at one spot,
he went out to where some others were to watch those in the arena go through the course. This would
be his third competition ever; the other two being when he was still a young teen, so it has definitely
been some time. Oh, but how he missed the adrenaline rush of being out there in front of everyone.

The jumps looked around the height he made the jumps back in Vanilla's training, though the water
jump worried him a bit. "Going to need her to put some more effort into that jump then," he said to
himself. They did have a small one back at DAS for training, but Vanilla had a hard time making it past
the water. He pressed his face with his hand and walked back over to his mare, avoiding more stress
by the looks of the water jump.

The pack of horses and their riders waiting their turn was slowly diminishing, and so was Viktor and
Vanilla's time to go out to the arena. The adrenaline immediately started to pump through his body
once the announcer called their number. He mounted and led Vanilla through the entrance of the arena,
passing by the last competitor once there. They walked by the course to the start, then asked Vanilla
for a trot, then canter. "We can do this, girl," Viktor whispered just as they approached the first jump.
