Jackson gives her an eyeroll and keeps moving. He rides close to her side. The one that got wacked with a branch. He almost inches his hand out to grab hers be decides against it. It might make her fall over.

She instinctively kept one hand close to his, while her other hand wrapped around the reins. Her horse slowed timidly, shaking his head as he made his way around the branch.

"Sorry, still nervous about that turn." She said.

I ease my house forward. "It helps to show them to not be afraid." I ride past the turn and turn in my seat to watch the pair. I smile as her house nervously paws the ground.

"He's always been a timid boy." She said, patting her horse. "He's a good boy, just jumpy." She urged her horse forward, who snorted as he shook his head once again.

Jackson smiles and rides back. He swipes the reins from her hand and clicks to her horse. Slowly, inching forward, he leads the two past the turn. "See, not that bad." He says as he pets her steed.

She watched him with a smile. "You've got a natural touch with horses. I can admire it all the time. I'm just used to taking different paths to make sure he doesn't get scared."

"Stop giving in to him. How will he learn? Come on." Jackson relesases the reins and speeds up. He feels wind through his hair and he looks back to make sure she is coming.

She gathered the reins in her hands and nodded. She urged her horse forward and faster, riding past him. "Come on slowpoke." She teased with a smirk.

."Nope!" Jackson yells as he rides past. He stays just a hair with ahead of her as they speed across the clearing.

"Hey!" She laughed. "You get back here so I can beat you!" She laughed, pushing her horse faster to try and keep up with him.
