The Double Life (One Direction, Niall Horan)

The Double Life *11* (Horse 101 Pt 1)

Allie's P.O.V

"Come on Louis" I said as we headed towards the pasture with the paint mare named Niyah, I had been assigned Louis for Horse 101, oh this shall be good. As we walked into the pasture I handed Louis the halter and lead to catch her with. 

"Now you're going to walk over and call for her, when she approaches you if she does don't act scared or she'll run. You'll want to talk to her and pet her first before slipping the halter over her head alright?" I told him as he nodded.

"What about this?" he asked holding the lead up.

"After you get the halter on her you clip it to the metal piece under her chin." I said as I showed him what I was talking about. While Louis had gone over to try to catch her I sat on the fence as I watched him.

Louis' P.O.V

After getting the instructions from Allie I went over to the middle of the pasture as I looked over at Niyah who seemed to be enjoying herself eating grass. 

"Niyah" I called as her head perked up looking in my direction, she just stared at me a little unsure before she slowly came over.

"Come here girl" I said as I heard Allie snicker.

"Louis she's not a dog" she said with a smirk on her face.

"She's not a boy either" I replied back sticking my tongue out.

When Niyah approached me I reached my hand out towards her, a little tense, it was a little hard not to be as Niyah was twice my size. I talked to her as I petted her for a bit then picked the halter up to put over her head. At the sight of the halter she stepped back and took off running around.

"Dammit." I cursed under my breath as I heard laughing.

Allie's P.O.V

This boy I swear I thought as I laughed when Niyah ran at the sight of the halter, I could tell just by the look on his face he was tense I thought I told him man he sure don't listen well.

"Louis I said not to tense" I called as he watched her run.

When Niyah had gone back to grazing he tried again after half an hour Louis was finally able to successfully catch a horse.

"Now what?" he asked walking over with Niyah I jumped off the fence and motioned for him to follow me as I headed up to the barn going to the cross tie outside.

"Clip this in place of the lead and then unclip the lead." I told him as I picked up the grooming box.

"You're now going to brush her." I said handing him a brush and curry as I told him what to do.

Louis had begun brushing her as I watched him making sure he was doing it right and didn't miss a spot. Fifteen minutes later he was finished as he put the brushes away.

I checked her over as I nodded in approval. "Very good, stay here." I said as I went inside to get the tack 

I didn't really trust Louis in the tack room as he would probably mess it all up maybe not but there is a good chance he would. After getting the tack I went back out to him.

"Ok now you're going to grab the blanket and saddle and put them on at the same time." I said as I handed him it watching him putting it on.. backwards.

"Louis the other way you don't sit in the saddle facing her behind." I snickered as he turned it around.

"Now tighten her cinch." I said as I watched him try to figure it out, oh this will be good western saddle cinches were a bit trick to get until you got the hang of it. After an hour Louis had gotten it close enough.
