Mark stared at the outdoor ring filled with jumps for hunting and showing. It was like the good old times before his parents went mad basically. The good times when he just was kid and was able to show jump with his horse without a care but now he had a young sister to look after so life got tough.
Patting Cody he entered the ring, once within it he stopped to take in everything. The sand looked fresh and looked like it hadn't been touched just yet by any horses.
'I can do a quick warm up and then work my way up.' He thought to himself as he mount the horse. Leaning his stomach on the horse, he swung his other leg over the horse before getting situated in the saddle. Once having the reins in his hand he tapped the horse with both of his feet to start off in a walk trying to get comfortable with that first.
It was as if instincts kicked in, and soon he want up to a trot. He started with the low set hurdles first, before working his ways up to the bigger set. He was in the zone as the speed went to a gallop as he went around the ring, it was just like in the past. He got to forget about everything around him for the moment and just focus on himself with the horse. It felt nice, and for a change he wasn't worried about anyone but just making the jumps.
Sighing he decide to take a break an hour into the jumping. Dismounting from Cody he tied the reins loosely to the bars around the ring as he leaned on the fence. He patted the male horse giving complements on how fine his jumping was but he only have another hour before he would have to leave so he could get back to his sister.
Closing his eyes, he hadn't heard anyone coming down too lost in his own thoughts.
