Cara's mother was once a grand prix rider who competed in the high jumpers almost making it to the olympic team before she had a bad fall and was in the hospital for five months. She could never ride again. Even with her disability though she still loved horses and kept her three high skilled jumper horses. Cara was on the back of them at the age of two. Her mother was her personal trainer and Cara fell in love with Nimo one of her newer horses. When Cara was 7 she started to show on Nimo in hunters as well as jumpers coming out with great results. From then on she has loved horses her whole life.

Example Post:
Cara had always loved being outside in the summer air. But this summer was very hot. Almost unnaturally hot, and Cara, being Cara hated it when it was super hot out. She would have loved to be riding outside, jumping her horse Nimo in the outdoor ring but due to the sun she was stuck in the indoor ring. It was quite a bit cooler with the shade over the pair.
Cara held the reins loosely in her hands as Nimo, her bay gelding walked around. She was giving him a little break because she didn't want to work him to hard. She had already gone through the basic flat work. Walk, trot, and canter and also had done a little bit of collateral work. Nimo felt really good today.
Deciding that her horse was cooled off she tightened the reins in her hands and squeezed the gelding's side with her heels as he picked up the canter. A few 3' jumps were set up in a small course. The scariest jumps was a swedish oxer with a liverpool tarp under it but Cara knew Nimo wouldn't spook at it for he didn't care a thing about jumps. Every now and then he may spook at his surroundings but that was rare.
Cara pulled with her right hand and sqeezed with her right leg as she bent Nimo around the arena corner and turned him to a small vertical across the diagonal just to start. The Dutch Warmblood got to a perfect hunter distance and jumped the jump with ease and room to spare. Cara lifted out of the saddle and sat back down as Nimo landed on the other side. She then turned him to the swedish, giving him some extra leg aid incase he slowed down but all he did was perk his ears forward and jump across it with no problem.
"Whoa," Cara said pulling on the bit to slow the horse down. He jumped down to a walk and stretched his neck down. Cara smiled and gave him a pat on his sweaty neck.
"Good boy," she praised letting him walked around again. When she felt he was cooled off enough she pulled him to a halt and swung her leg over the saddle. She jumped to the ground and pulled the reins over Nimo's head. She scratched his neck and led him out of the arena happy with her ride.
