Jan's Bday Jumping - Expert - Isobel and Alice

Isobel had been walking the course earlier, and watched the competitors before her fly through the course on their horses, and she had to admit, the obstacles were terrifying. Even for her. They were huge and complicated, and she was almost starting to regret having chosen the hardest level. I should have chosen advanced. Alice won't make it. Was all that had been going through her head for a couple hours, but as she had saddled Alice she got back her confidence. Alice was strong and brave. She would make it. She had taken the challenge of cross country head on, so why would this be any more scary to her than a sudden drop down a hill and rivers and high speed? Alice loved challenges, and in the theory, so did Isobel. In the theory.
But it would be okay, Isobel had decided. They would go through the course together. Alice was well experienced, and even better trained. This was the next step.

This took me soooooo loooong.
It wasn't the anatomy or the colors or anything. It was the jump. I swear, that jump made me sweat blood.
But I almost love how it came out, which means I am very pleased.

Then again, the level on this competition was incredibly high, so I don't have that many expectations to the result
