Many Rides

[racechick]

I jumped to Trigger's back, the stallion having nothing but me on him. The went out for some time, Trigger responding very well. Trigger had always been ridden bridleless, so if a bit was used on him he would do in his power to get rid of it. I sat perched high on his back, letting his muscles ripple in his shoulders as he loped along. i shifted my weight back, Trigger coming to a sliding halt. I rode him back, putting him into his stall and taking out the next horse. I put the halter on Ace and lead his to the cross ties, clipping the snaps to his halter. I groomed the stallion quickly, trying to hurry before the light was gone. i saddled the stud as fast as possible, trying to hurry but make sure everything was right. I mounted the stallion, letting him walk out of the barn. The stud and I wondered around for some time, my connect to the bit very light. We loped along after some time, his head low and my hands soft. We returned as the sun fell, returning the unsweaty Stallion to his stall after unsaddling him. I throw food into every horse's stall, flicked off the lights.
