*has taken his daughter, and her new pony, outside for some riding lessons*

Alright, now, little darlin', you all set? *since the horse is saddled, we don't have to worry about that part, huzzah*

Ready! *tries to climb up the saddle again, fortunately the pony is particularly good-natured and patient, and puts up with it*

[islandofthesea]

*helps lift her on and adjusts stirrups and such til things fit proper* You set? *takes the leadrope -- which the typist has decided is attached to the bridle*

[lil_live_wire]

*of course it is* I'm set! *beams and bounces a little in the saddle**

Alright, you hang onto those reins there and give him a nudge to get 'im going.

*grabs the reins, though isn't really sure how to hold them, and gives the pony a bit more of a nudge than Ennis probably meant* *the little mare tosses her head and takes a few steps forward*

*quickly adjusts her hands on the reins* There. And not so hard with the kickin' next time, ok? *and they're off, Ennis leading the pony and Francine at a slow walk*

Okay! *holds the reins like he showed her and stops kicking the horse* *occasionally grabs at the saddle to steady herself but has decent balance*

*The pony follows him obediently, is a very well-behaved little pony*
