Show Strides Book 3: Moving Up & Moving On by Piper Klemm and Rennie Dyball, Glossary
After a successful trip to Devon, the Field Ridge team returns home to Oaks for the summer, where life at the barn is as busy as ever.
A jumper rider named Jacob and his horse Carlo begin trailering in for lessons with trainer Ryan, and the girls learn that being a boy in the sport has its own unique challenges.
Tally and Goose are improving with each show, and Mac struggles with body confidence as they head toward their big summer finale, Pony Finals.

Excerpts from the Book
Jacob was already in the ring by the time Tally arrived. Ryan was watching him at the in-gate. Both of them looked nervous.
“In for their power and speed class, this is number 520, Jacob Viston, riding Carlo.”
Tally thought it would be obvious to just about anyone how great Jacob looked on a horse. Jacob’s position was so solid, with a tight lower leg and deep heels, that
Tally almost didn’t notice
the bit of awkwardness Carlo had to his jumping style.
As they rounded a corner to the in-and-out, Carlo held his head high and Jacob sat deeply in the saddle, turning his toes out slightly to use his spurs on the little bay.
Carlo rubbed the vertical jumping in and took an abbreviated stride in the middle. There was a moment of hesitation – Tally wasn’t sure if he’d take off long after one stride or try to squeeze in a second –and Jacob clucked at his horse.
The gelding took off after one stride, but he didn’t have the step or the scope to clear the oxer. He punched out the top rail hard, and when he put his front legs down to land the jump, one hoof came down squarely on top of the fallen rail. Carlo stumbled, and Jacob came down on his neck in a heap. The pair scrambled away, and Jacob pulled the horse up swiftly. Carlo was limping.

After a successful trip to Devon, the Field Ridge team returns home to Oaks for the summer, where life at the barn is as busy as ever.
A jumper rider named Jacob and his horse Carlo begin trailering in for lessons with trainer Ryan, and the girls learn that being a boy in the sport has its own unique challenges.
Tally and Goose are improving with each show, and Mac struggles with body confidence as they head toward their big summer finale, Pony Finals.

Buy book three on Amazon. (Kindle & Audible too!)
Excerpts from the Book
Jacob was already in the ring by the time Tally arrived. Ryan was watching him at the in-gate. Both of them looked nervous.
“In for their power and speed class, this is number 520, Jacob Viston, riding Carlo.”
Tally thought it would be obvious to just about anyone how great Jacob looked on a horse. Jacob’s position was so solid, with a tight lower leg and deep heels, that
Tally almost didn’t notice
the bit of awkwardness Carlo had to his jumping style.
As they rounded a corner to the in-and-out, Carlo held his head high and Jacob sat deeply in the saddle, turning his toes out slightly to use his spurs on the little bay.
Carlo rubbed the vertical jumping in and took an abbreviated stride in the middle. There was a moment of hesitation – Tally wasn’t sure if he’d take off long after one stride or try to squeeze in a second –and Jacob clucked at his horse.
The gelding took off after one stride, but he didn’t have the step or the scope to clear the oxer. He punched out the top rail hard, and when he put his front legs down to land the jump, one hoof came down squarely on top of the fallen rail. Carlo stumbled, and Jacob came down on his neck in a heap. The pair scrambled away, and Jacob pulled the horse up swiftly. Carlo was limping.

Show Strides Book 2: Confidence Comeback by Piper Klemm and Rennie Dyball, Chapter 17
Tally Hart just went to her first A-rated show with the new trainer at her barn, Quince Oaks—and it was a competition she’ll never forget. But back at home, the working student and newly-minted catch rider faces an uncertain future. Will she get to keep riding sales ponies? Go back to lessons on the barn’s school horses? Meanwhile, her good friend Mac Bennett is finding her own footing in the medium pony hunter division and working toward the biggest show goal either rider could imagine.

Excerpts from the Book
He gave her a thumbs-up before asking her to start trotting around, working on some circles with the pony as he finished setting jumps. For the flatwork part of their lesson, Tally worked on lengthening and shortening Goose’s stride at the trot and canter. It took a lot of leg to keep him moving in the gait that she wanted while maintaining the collection. The answer to most questions while riding, it seemed, was to add leg.
“Oh my gosh, Goose, you are gorgeous!” Tally whispered. The pony perked his ears and took a couple of tentative steps toward her. He was a dark dapple gray—gray horses and ponies got lighter in color as they aged; Goose was obviously quite young, with a neatly pulled, silvery mane and the most adorable dished face. He had a pink muzzle and looked cozy in his plaid blanket. Meeting him reminded Tally of opening model horses on Christmas morning and marveling over just how perfect they looked.
“Outside, diagonal, outside, single. Go!” Mac said, taking off at the human version of the canter toward the first jump. Tally followed her, laughing as they counted their own strides down what would be a five-stride line for horses. Mac got twelve and Tally got eleven.
“Don’t cut your turn!” Mac yelled as Tally cantered ahead of her down the short side of the ring toward their next line.
“If I stay out, this … will take all day,” Tally shouted back between gulps of air, her stomach muscles tight from the effort and from laughing. They lost count down the diagonal line and Tally broke to a trot in front of the outside line, breathing hard.
“Automatic 55!” Mac shouted as the girls bumbled down their last jumps.
Panting and still laughing at the end of their course, Tally and Mac ambled out of the ring and down to the barn, fishing change out of their pockets for the soda machine.

He was a dark dapple gray—gray horses and ponies got lighter in color as they aged; Goose was obviously quite young, with a neatly pulled, silvery mane and the most adorable dished face. He had a pink muzzle and looked cozy in his plaid blanket. Meeting him reminded Tally of opening model horses on Christmas morning and marveling over just how perfect they looked.
“Outside, diagonal, outside, single. Go!” Mac said, taking off at the human version of the canter toward the first jump. Tally followed her, laughing as they counted their own strides down what would be a five-stride line for horses. Mac got twelve and Tally got eleven.
“Don’t cut your turn!” Mac yelled as Tally cantered ahead of her down the short side of the ring toward their next line.
“If I stay out, this … will take all day,” Tally shouted back between gulps of air, her stomach muscles tight from the effort and from laughing. They lost count down the diagonal line and Tally broke to a trot in front of the outside line, breathing hard.
“Automatic 55!” Mac shouted as the girls bumbled down their last jumps.
Panting and still laughing at the end of their course, Tally and Mac ambled out of the ring and down to the barn, fishing change out of their pockets for the soda machine.

Meet the riders of Quince Oaks: Tally is a dedicated working student who takes lessons on the stable’s fleet of school horses, and Mac is pushing herself to improve on her own pony hunter. The girls become fast friends as Tally learns the ropes of catch riding and showing while Mac discovers that moving up a division isn’t as easy as she’d hoped.

Excerpts from the Book
“Don’t forget to label those,” her dad said, nodding at the white and pink rosettes. Tally had actually been considering just throwing them out.
“Why? This isn’t exactly a show I want to remember.”
“I’ve told you this before, Tal. Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn. And you know I think you should label the back of every ribbon. You’ll look back at them one day and be happy you did.”
“Pick up your canter and then establish the pace you want. Ring speed. Get that canter and keep her there. We’ll work on finessing it, but for now, I just want you to get that number, so cowboy-kick if you have to.”
As they approached the first rail, Tally felt like they were flying. Almost as if they were going too fast.
“That’s the pace, Tal, don’t change it. Now jump in and count.”
The next morning, Tally’s alarm went off at 6 a.m. and she flew out of bed, having been awake for at least an hour already. This was it. An away show. An A-rated show. Just like she’d watched Mac do and wished to be a part of herself someday. And she was already getting to do it.

“Why? This isn’t exactly a show I want to remember.”
“I’ve told you this before, Tal. Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn. And you know I think you should label the back of every ribbon. You’ll look back at them one day and be happy you did.”
“Pick up your canter and then establish the pace you want. Ring speed. Get that canter and keep her there. We’ll work on finessing it, but for now, I just want you to get that number, so cowboy-kick if you have to.”
As they approached the first rail, Tally felt like they were flying. Almost as if they were going too fast.
“That’s the pace, Tal, don’t change it. Now jump in and count.”
The next morning, Tally’s alarm went off at 6 a.m. and she flew out of bed, having been awake for at least an hour already. This was it. An away show. An A-rated show. Just like she’d watched Mac do and wished to be a part of herself someday. And she was already getting to do it.
