Jessica quietly led Turner into the arena. It was time to start his training. David followed her with his sketch pad. He wanted to do some drawings of Turner's training. Jessica whispered to Turner. "Ok boy let's see what you got." Turner's ears flicked to the sound of Jessie's voice. He snorted softly and held his head high. "Good..." she said. David started a sketch. Jessica worked with Turner moving his legs in the right place and keeping his head high. He would have to get used to this way of standing. David sketched fast and precisely. He wanted to have this one perfect to keep in the office. Turner, if he was going to be bred to their mare, would need some experience. Jessie let David finish from memory as she led Turner around the arena, keeping his positions right. A couple times he tried to lower his head but she corrected it in a kind manner. He soon got the idea. David finished his sketch by the time Jessie finished. "That was good." he said petting Turner. "I know! He caught on so quickly!" she replied.

Steven turned up outside the arena, watching quietly. He had brought a collecting whip to help them with Turner. ''Looks like I've came at the right time.'' he said loudly. He waved the tassled whip in the air and smiled.

Jessica turned around and spotted Steven. "Oh hi! I didn't know you were here." she said holding onto Turner's lead rope and leading him over to the visitor. Turner lowered his head and tossed his mane, snorting and neighing. "What's wrong boy? Don't you remember...what's your name?" she laughed. "No really I remember you Steven." She smiled and patted Turner who calmed down quickly. David put a few more finishing touches to Turner's drawing and put it in his left hand as he walked over to Steven. He put out his hand to welcome him back.

Steven shook his hand politely. ''I brought a collecting whip. It's useful when your stacking them.'' he smiled, handing over the long whip.

"Thanks. Yeah Turner did pretty good. He's turning into a great show horse already. Obviously he'll need some more work." Jessica nodded and patted the horse again. Turner tossed his head to the air and snorted as if he did perfect and disagreed with what they said. Jessie laughed and turned him in a circle.

''He's young there's plenty of time for training. Idealy you should start training the horses from a year old but they always chatch up.'' he smiled.

"Yeah I wish I could have worked with him earlier, but he's acting like I have." Jessie laughed. "No really he needs a lot of work. But I'm not worried." David nodded and took the lead rope from Jessie. "I'll take him back." he said. He led Turner to the stallion barn and the horse went willingly. Jessie had gotten very attached to Turner now.

Steven smiled, ''Early days... He'll be fine.'' he said in a calm voice.

"Yeah..." she said watching Turner walk calmly to the barn. Soon David was back. "I fed him some hay and now he looks like he's falling asleep." he laughed.
