Sam teaches Quin to ride

[fizzy]

We walked into the indoor arena, Callie by my side. I couldn't wait to teach Quin. Slowly, I lead Callie and Quin into the middle of the arena.
"Here, I'll give you a leg-up," I offered her, getting ready to give her a leg-up onto Callie.

[Super <3]

Quin smiled and looked at him with a shy look. "What's that?"

[fizzy]

I laughed and said, "I put my hands out like a step and you use it to get onto the horse"
I put my hands out and waited.

[Super <3]

Quin laughed, "Ohhhh!" She let him take her foot and threw her leg over the horse. "Wow, high up." She smiled and looked around from the new view.

[fizzy]

I laughed as I thought of the first time I got on a horse. I had thought that it was really high too back then but I got use to it over time.

"Yeah," I said "Just give her a slight squeeze to get going, squeeze on the reins with the hand that's on the side you're wanting to turn to turn and lean back, squeezing the reins a bit harder than when turning, to stop."

I waited to see what she'd do.

[Super <3]

Quin squeezed lightly but a bit harder when the equine didn't respond. She felt the mare move and smiled before turning her to the left and then the right.

[fizzy]

"Well done!" I said, "Now try and do a few laps of the arena"
I was really excited,

[Super <3]

Quin steered her to the rail and lapped the ring three times, "She is so sweet!" Turning, she stopped in front of him.

[fizzy]

I grinned at her (sorta like this: ;D) as she managed to do a few laps. I was speechless.
"Well done," It was all I could get out.
