Riding Horses With ONE DIRECTION?!

~ C H A P T E R S E V E N T E E N ~

I walked into the barn and over to Renegade's stall as he nickered. I put on his rope halter and lunging lead. I took him out to the big arena which a few riders were riding in and stood in the middle of the arena. The riders, Western and English, slowed down their horses to watch. It seems that lately everyone has watched me when I work with Ren. It's actually really strange.

I clicked Renegade up so he walked in a circle around me. I let him go around twice until I moved him into a trot. I listened to the beat of his stride and clicked when he slowed down. I could see he still had some trouble with his hind left leg, but he seemed to be fine. After five laps I moved him into a canter. I switched him so he went the other way after two laps. Renegade huffed as I kept him moving. I stopped him so he stood still. I checked on his leg to make sure he was okay. Renegade looked at me as I lifted the leg up, but ignored whatever I was doing. The leg seemed fine, so I kissed him up again. The other riders moved on to whatever they were doing, and I smiled. I'm not a big fan of audiences.

When Renegade was done working I walked him back to his stall. I put him in then walked over to Niall who was leaning on the fence of the arena. I leaned on the fence next to him.

"Want to go for a ride?" He asked, watching the riders in the arena.

"Sure thing." I paused. "But who will I ride?"

"We can both ride Moon." Niall looked over at me, smiling.

"Hun, Moon can't handle the weight." I said.

"Course she can. Now let's go." Niall said, pulling me toward the barn.

He pulled Moon out of her stall and lead her to the cross-ties. We quickly brushed her. Niall ran into the tack room and came out with Moon's hackamore bridle and out it on her. He climbed on first and I followed. Moon looked over at Harry who was riding his stallion. She gave a big huff of breath then turned to walk toward the trails.

"Niall, you're such a loser." I giggled as Niall imitated a Llama. I sat in the shade of the trees. Niall walked around and picked out small pebbles then threw them in the creek. Moon grazed, content with her surroundings.

"We should get back, the suns going down." Niall said. He helped me up from the ground and we walked toward Moon. The wind picked up a little, causing the trees to make a loud noise. Moon reared and took off for the trees.

"Moon!" Niall yelled, running after her. I yelled for him to come back, but he didn't. I waited a few minutes before he emerged from the trees, horseless.

"Dear God Niall, did you fall in a mud pile?" I asked. He nodded but his expression was upsetting. I grasped his hand and started to walk down the trail.
