He didn't really remember what he exactly did when he had ridden a horse. It had, actually, been quite some time ago. Yet, he felt like, if he tried it again, it would end up coming back to him.
"Knees and reigns... Got it." He spoke and followed both the mare and woman outside the barn. It seemed simple to guide a horse around. Just pushing the reigns were enough. Yet, he had a feeling it was also something he would have to teach the horse as well.
He avoided walking too close to the horse, since getting his toes stomped didn't sound much pleasant.
Once they were outside, he gave the surroundings another quick evaluation, making sure to remember troublesome things, such as low branches, pointy branches... well, you know. Once he was done, he moved to the horse's left flank, since it was how he mounted last time, carefully setting one of his foot on the pedal and using it to lift himself up. Once he sat down, he quickly placed the other foot on the remaining pedal and gripping the reigns. He kicked lightly on the space between the rib and the thighs and, with a soft whinny, the mare moved forward, ever so slowly.
