Or no kicking at all.

So everything was going along just fine at that point. Dima seemed to be having a good time with Dave, and no snow had attacked them yet. That is until they stepped literally a FOOT forward and a BLIZZARD CLOUD decided to hang right over them. There was snow and wind everywhere, and it was completely unexpected. "AHHHH!" she called out.

"Protego!" she said again, and a shield formed over the three of them as they walked along.
Dave was apparently a really lazy horse, because he would not fly at ALL, no matter how much whispered encouragement Dima provided to his ears. The first year tried and tried to no avail, but the horse was walking. Which was a pity, because they would have avoided a LOT more obstacles if the darn creature would stretch his wings and do what he was MADE to DO.

Stubborn Aethonan. This one was a Gryffindor.

He let Sophie take care of the sudden blizzard, ignoring the wind and snow as he tried to prod Dave into flying some more. "Come on, man! Just flap 'em! Like a bird! You can do it!" Or so he hoped, but Dave wasn't having it. Sigh.

Narrowly avoiding another snowbank with another tug of his reins, he continued to pester his creature.

Thank Merlin for that bridle, or the animal would have probably attacked him by now.
