Sky didn't need much more convincing than that. As soon as the saddle skin was secured and the halter fixed into reigns, the girl was hoisting herself up carefully, easily even. She'd ridden enough to know the basics as a pup but otherwise this was a new experience. The odd part? When normally inexperimental Sky grabbed hold of the reigns, seemed to completely forget Dixie-May and Wayne were still there and with a sharp 'hey', she nudged the mare into a swift trot.
They circled the beach a few times as Dixie and her partner talked, Sky occasionally laughing as the turned and moved in good stereo. She was grateful for the saddle not being there, her tail resting on the mare's back much like a narrow blanket would, limp and bouncing with each step. Sky herself seemed to take to the mare naturally, moving with her and enjoying her ride to the fullest.
She came trotting back over after a while, sliding off Queen easily and leaning an arm over the horse's back in some sort of hug. You're a fine girl, Queen. Good girl. She murmured as she stepped back towards the fire, holding the reigns in one hand and resting her other hand on Queen's shoulder. She's got some bounce in her step. Sky commented upon reaching the campfire. Should get me places in good time if we pace it right. Thank you both so much. She's a life saver.
Like Casper was now, Sky could sense a good companion in Queen. The mare had a gentle soul compared to the lady now riding her. A good contrast that would keep them both out of trouble. You do know I'm going to spoil her rotten now, right? A cheesy grin flashed across the wolfdog's face and though tired from her trek to the beach, the girl kept standing beside her new horse, too afraid of a dream to let her go. Every girl grew up wanting their very own pony. Now Sky had hers.
