My Crazy Boy (sequel to My Crazy Girl)

chapter 16 let's ride

"Rodeo season is right around the corner." I said walking into school with Hunter on Friday.

"Your not excited at all are you?" He said teasing.

"Nope not even a little. Can you come over tomorrow?"

"Sure I can why?" "I figured I would teach you how to ride tomorrow."

"Sounds like fun."  The bell rang for us to go to class.

"See you later."

I had both Saint and Buckle tacked up. A big old black truck came driving up that belonged  to Hunter. He got out and came over.

"Hey darling." We kissed. 

"Hey. Are you excited?"

"Yep."

"Ok your going to be riding Buckle. He's a good horses for beginners."

"But don't you rope off him?"

"Yes but as long as he don't see a rope he will be a good."

"Ok." I untied him and led both him and Hunter into a round arena. "Once your convertible in the round pen we will go into the big arena for a bit." He nodded.

"These are your reins. You control the horse with them. Ok so how you mount is you stick your foot right here." I said pointing to the stirup. I put my foot in to show him. "Then you bounce and once you feel ready hop and swing your leg around like this." I mounted up. "Did you see?"

"Yep." He said looking at me with a blush.

"Did you really or where you looking at my butt?" A deeper red came over him.

"Both." I laughed a little.

"Ok. So these are the reins." I said holding up the reins so he could see. "To go forward press your legs into him and click to him. He is a very well trained horse so it shouldn't take that much pressure to get him going. So like this." I pressed my legs it to Buckle. He moved forward. "To stop him pull back on the reins and say whoa. But don't pull back to much or he will back up." I stopped him. "Ok your turn." I started telling  him what to do again. "So pull the reins to which side you want to go. If you want to go left pull left. Go right pull right. But not to hard."  I stopped in front of him. "You good?"

"Ya that was just a lot to take in."

"Ya I know but once you get on you'll get it. And I'll be right here to help if you need it. To dismount take your foot that you swinged  over with and swing it back over. Kick your foot lose and drop. Nothing to it."

He mounted up and started forward. He looked really good with a bit of practice he would be a good rider. He was gentle with Buckle and stayed still in the saddle. "Looking good. But drop your hands a bit." He did.

"Thanks." He pulled him up next to me. "You want to go into the big arena so that I can ride with you?"

"Lets do it." I went and got Saint. I opened the gate and we both went through. I mounted and we went around the arena.

"Want to trot?"

"Sure. How do I do it?"

"Just like how you start. Push your legs and click." We clicked at the horse and then we were trotting. We did this for a little bit longer. Then we unsaddled and went to the loft.

"How did you like it?"

"It was really fun."

"Next time we can go out and trail ride. If you feel like your ready."

A/N sorry kind of a short chapter.
