Mel smiled back softly, enjoying the ride.

She turned Astraeus in a circle and stopped her. you could see another girl getting on to a horse with Mel and Loki helping a boy up too, they were joking around as the only student boys here, "Give her shoulder a pat" Ilya stopped the horse.

Mel did as instructed and gave Astraeus a pat, smiling. She was beginning to enjoy this!

"That's how to give her praise. Hold the reins tight now, pull back on the bit, thingy in the mouth, to keep her stopped, but not too hard or she'll reverse." she moved, taking your foot and moving it back so it hit her stomach and back leg area, "kick her there to indicate forward."

( actually yes At the university we sell breedings with our stallions, quite the learning experience )

Kira nodded holding tightly to the reins with both hands as she looked up at the stallion

Melissa Kingswood, the dressage teacher, had already left with a student. You'd have to catch her after the lesson. it seemed like instructors were starting to take the students and bring their horses in, probably what Melissa had gone and done.
Look around for the Show Jumping teacher, hoping to catch them before they leave

Loki righted the saddle and trotted Elpida in, jogging in. He then did up the girth and adjusted the stirrups, "Want the steps?" he smirked in a teasing motion.

I glare at him "No thanks." I hope I don't regret it as I go to mount her again.

Mel followed Ilya's instructions, although she was careful not to kick Astraeus too hard.

_{(I hope you enjoyed owo)}

Melissa went and got the steps, carrying them back. She then did up the girth, showing you how and went to the other side, "Put your foot in the stirrup and lift your leg over the saddle."

They were still free to talk to.
