Sophie nodded in reply to Eliza's question. "Yeah, I'll ride him," she said. She'd never been on a horse before, so this would be a good experience for her. The first thing she needed to do was hopefully get the horse to bend down for her. She was way too short to get on him while he was standing. She reached over and caressed his backbone. "Hey there. Can I get on?"

The horse bent down, and Sophie sloooooowly climbed on.



Eliza nodded encouraginly to the younger girl. "Yeah, I really do! They look sturdy and everything." They really did. Their saddle was all aglow with happy little runes, a sight Eliza enjoyed a lot.

She held her arms out to brace Sophie just in case she fell as she was mounting the horse. Luckily she wasn't needed there, because Sophie got on just fine. She seemed to be doing it pretty slowly, which Eliza thought was a good idea, so as not to scare the horse. "Good job Sophie! I think the horse likes you. Have you ever ridden before?" she asked as she started leading Sophie and the horse down the path towards the Groundskeeper's hut.

It sure looked like a long walk from here but the bushes and puddles made a pretty clear course, showing them where to go. The first thing they encountered was just a bush. She'd never steered a horse before, or led one, but it seemed fairly easy to get the horse to avoid it by slightly pulling on the reins to the left. It wasn't like the horse wanted to walk on the prickly bush anymore than she did, right?
