"Easy girl, easy" I say moving towards the little mare in front of me. She rolls her eyes, whinnying in protest, so I stop and take out the bottle of powder in my back pocket. opening the jar I dip my fingers in rubbing the powder In to my fingers before slowly replacing the lid and out stretching my hand. FeFe goes to pull away again but catches a whiff off the powder, made of crushed horse chestnuts and hurbs. Instantly I see her calm down and she starts To nibble on my outstretched palm.
"Good girl, that's a girl, caa-alm" I murmur while slipping the bridle into place. patting her I move onto her saddle.
"That's quite a talent you got There girl, where'd ya learn to do that?" I look up and see Chris and Billy staring at me.
"Oh, urm the woman who gave me Maxie left me a book of, remedies, for horses! I've added a few of my own over the years though"
Leading FeFe out I tie her up and put my kit on.
"I'm just gonna take her to the school across there" I say pointing to the other end of the yard before mounting up and moving away.
"We'll just watch don't worry" Billy replys while Chris watches me intensely.
"Well I will just be watching, watch out for Chris here trying to help, he can't help himself with the horses" billy winks before wheeling away to the viewing box.
On the way over here I learnt that Chris and Billy are both into horses.
"Come on, let's show em' what you can do!"
After an hour and a half I finally call it a day for FeFe and lead her back in to the stable before untacking her and giving her a brush down.
"Well 'ain't that'a pice of fancy riding I've ever seem right there" Billy grins coming over with my.... dad.
"Thanks" I say happily "but it's really all FeFe she's a proper little dressager" I say patting the happy mare before closing the door.
"That takes talent to get a horse moving like that. After all a horse can only do so much, those movement you did aren't even performed by professionals that well, let alone a mer 15 year old!" I blush at the old mans words.
"Thanks..... I just need to ride Max them I'm done" I say walking to the paddock gate.
"Right right sure! lets see this famous Maxie that you didn't shut up about the whole time on the journey!" Billy rubs his hands excitedly, Chris still looks deep in thought so I turn back to the gate and whistle as loud as I can. which is pretty darn loud.
"MAXIIIEE" my voice rings out loud and clear and soon hoof beats can be heard followed by an exited whinny. suddenly a blur of chestnut and flaxen come flying over, skidding to a practiced hault just in front of the fence I'm standing on.
"Atta Boy Maxie, how you doing?" I cooe at him while rubbing his forehead as he used me as a scratching post.
I hear laughing behind me and see Chris there looking at us admusadly.
"Dam that's dedication from a horse. ain't I ever seem one that reacts like that to it's owner before believe me! how long you had him?"
"Since I was 10, so 5 years now! He's 8, I helped him as a youngster as well though" I say ginning back.
"Well something you did In those 5 years did the trick, ain't never seem dedication like that"
"Thanks" getting Maxie out I saddle him up before schooling him much like I had done with FeFe.
Once I was done we all drove back to where I live and said our goodbyes, Chris and Billy are staying in a near by hotel for a couple of days so they told me they where coming around tomorrow. Nodding I heading inside to fine a very tired looking will and Courtney waiting up for me.
"Hey little ones, what's up?"
"I'm not wittle" Will huffs crossing his cubby 4 year old arms.
"Of course not, my mighty William" I say scooping him up and plopping him on my hip. he pouts but soon grins hugging me round my neck while I bend down to hug courtney.
"Hey girly" I say
"Can you read us a bed time storwy?" Courtney asked while playing with her pigtails innocently.
"I can indead my princess, onwards to the princess parlour" I say making the adorable 6 year old laugh before running In front of me.
"I no princess pawour" will sulks
"Well for a brave knight like you we shall go to your castle first and slay some scary dragons sir?" I ask in my best knightly voice, will squeals before kicking my ribs to make
me move fater.
"Yewh!! Gow gow gow!!!!!!"
