Not that she'd ever think of anything else but singing.

"I'm going to get on behind you." She knew it was time to mount Apollo as well and she moved getting on the stool. Throwing her leg over she pulled herself up. She had ridden them without so getting up behind someone wasn't too hard. She had sat behind Vince last term when he flew. Once she was up on Apollo behind Azure she reached in front of her to grab the reins for a moment. "Now like I said earlier just hold them tightly so you don't drop them, but not tightly pulling back. That will pick his head up and cause him stress. These will be what helps us move left and right." She handed them over to allow Azure full control.

~~1. Petting/Stroking~~
~~2. Mounting~~
~~3. Finding balance and positioning your legs~~
~~4. Holding the bridle/rein~~
5. Signaling them to take off by squeezing them with your legs
6. Pulling of the bridle/rein gently to land
7. Dismounting.

Azura nodded as Natalia got up behind her and she adjusted her balance just a little bit. If only to make sure the older girl behind her had enough room. She really didn't want her falling off. Thankfully there seemed to be plenty of room on Apollo for them both to fit comfortably and stay on, which was the most important part.

She turned her attention back to Nat as the Slytherin reached in front of her to show her how to properly grip the reins. She nodded her dark head as she took the reins from the 6th year and held them on her own.

"Got it, so hold onto them tightly, but don't pull back. " The third year repeated as she adjusted her grip on the leather straps to make sure Apollo had plenty of room for his head to move how he wished.

"All right, I think we might be ready to fly? " Azura asked as she swallowed a bit, she was nervous.. but ready.
