Cassie mounted her black stallion, Dante's Inferno, and began walking towards the indoor arena. She's never really ridden him in there, so it was all new for the young horse. Arriving at the gate, Cassie asked Dante to go in, but he stepped back, throwing his head in the air. She asked again, saying "Walk on, boy, walk on!" Dante walked back further, then lifted his feet ina front rear. He'd always been spooky, but today he was just taking the p*ss. Cassie sighed and muttered "Stubborn!" She squuezed with her heels again, and tapped him on the rear with her crop, to which Dante retailiated with a buck. Cas flew foward in the saddle, then sat up and kicked again, this time, intead of letting him step back, she spun him in a circle, so they were closer to the gate. She kicked and tapped again, pushing with her seat, turning him again closer to the gate. When they were pretty near, dante seemed to relize there was no escape, and shot through the gate, cantering to the middle of the school, throwing his head between his legs and throwing 2 massive bucks, cat leaping and doing half rears. Cassie managed to hold on, and once he'd had enough, she tapped him with the crop and Kicked him on gently. He snorted and thrwe his head up, so she kicked again, and he went up into a rear. A full rear. Cassie leant foward and grabbed his mane- she was used to his tantrums. "Big baby!" she muttered as he came down. She tapped him again, and he reared again. She sighed and began turning him in circles.

Taylor had been riding Skylar out on the trails, and was coming back to the stables, when she spotted Cassie and Dante in the indoor ring. "Hey, Cass!" she said, turning Skylar and nudging her into a working trot.

When someone said hit to her, Dante shot off, his head between his legs. "Dante!" said Cassie sharply. The big stallion ignored her, and began jigging. Cassie turned him to face the other horses, and Dante whinnied and snorted, tossing his head and lifting his fronts off te ground. "Hey!" she said, a little breathlessly. "Dante, why'd ya have to be so d*mn stubborn!" she said to her horse, turning him, and asking for a nice, calm walk. She managed to get him to the track, then he saw something, spooked at it, and cantered across the ring. Cassie stopped him, gritting her teeth and asking him to walk again.

Cassie nodded and said "Yeah. He'd being a baby today." she said. Dante was sweating beneath her. "C'mon beasty." she said, asking for walk. Dante shimmied to the side, but walked on, a little jiggy.

Cassie frowned, still fighting to get D under control. d*mn, he'd be even worse with another horse. "Um.. yah... sure..." she said, turning her horse in circles and trying to calm him a bit.

"Is this a bad time for me to ask: Do you mind if I ride, too? Dante always seems to like being around Skylar, so . . ." Taylor smiled at Cassie, riding Skylar closer to the ring.

Cassie nodded "We can try them..." Dante skittered sideways underneath her. "He's never really been in the indoor before, he's being a spaz." she said, smiling "Where'd Lucy go? I didin't say anything I shouldn't have, did I?" Cassie asked Dante to walk on, turning him towards the fence. He stood square. She kicked him on a little more firmly. He bucked once. Tapping him with her crop, he bucked again bigger this time. "Get on!" she said firmly, tapping him again. Dante leapt foward throwing Cassie onto his neck. She sat up, and looked at Tay. "Well, at least we got somewhere!"
(my pony does this sometimes, when he doesn't wanna do something he starts doing half-rears, spazzle pony :L)

"I don't know where Lucy went," Taylor said, shrugging. She trotted Skylar into the ring and used her inside leg to move her into a flying change. Taylor kept completely formal and calm, so Skylat would react the same way, and it might rub off on Dante. "Why's he being so crazy?"

(i don't mind it, he's my baby and he's far from perfect! i think it's quite amusing tbh :L & trop i sent you a pm ) Cassie shrugged at Tay. "He's having one of those days. And he hasn't really been in here before." she grinned. Dante whinnied to Skylar and shook his head.

(I saw my mare can b like that two u know monthly thingy, she gets cranky lol) Taylor patted her neck when Skylar whinnied back to Dante. "What's scaring him, though, it's just like the outdoor ring, but with a ceiling and lights," she said, turning Skylar around and cantering her the other way.

(yeah blazie is far from perfect bless him :L) Dante spooked to the side as Sky cantered past, then began pawing hte ground. "No, naughty!" said Cassie, tapping him with the whip. He bounced foward. Cassie kicked him on and got him into trot, though he continued spooked. "He's always like this with new places!" she said, sighing. (blaze spooks at EVERYTHING too. He spooked because a dog moved its head the other day :L)

(June Bug never spooks but she's such a little brat sometimes *like me* lol)
Taylor slowed Skylar down to a walk so Dante wouldn't spook at her. "He's always done that?" she asked, pushing a loose strand of straight brown hair out of her face. She fixed her low ponytail tighter.
(lol that's funny!)

Cassie nodded. "Uh, huh. Ever since he was a baby." she grinned and rolled her eyes. "Silly boy!" she said, patting him. Dante flinched. "Strange horse." (LOL, he's so silly and the other day we went on this ride with all these spanish people on their big stallions and there were like 20 of us, and we were cantering and me and blaze weere right up the front, cantering past all these massive stallions he's my speed monsterr)

"Well, you get crazies occasionally. Skylar was a nut when I first got her and she'd been around people her whole life," Taylor laughed, patting her neck.

Cassie giggled. "Dante's just silly!" She pushed him on again, wondering wether to risk a canter. She trotted him round the ring, holding on when he spooked. He felt tense and excited underneath her.

Cassie looked down at Dante. He seemed a little better now... she hoped she wasn't speaking too soon. "Um, sure." she said. She slowed him to a walk and waited for Moonlight to come in.

Taylor kicked Skylar's sides gently, getting her into a working trot. "I hope Dante stays calm with all the horses in here," Taylor said, looking at the stallion. Skylar whinnied happily and did a little buck. Taylor laughed and patted her neck, smiling at Cass and Lucy.

Dante skittered to the side, flinging his leg out at Moonlight and squeeling. "Dante!" said Cassie, tapping him with the whip. he threw his head btween his legs and bucked big. She tapped him again, throwing "Sorry, luce!" over her shoulder. She pulled D's head up, and asked him to trot on. "Idiot." she muttered.
