Ebsa was a little alarmed to find himself riding the big bay mare the president rode, when he needed to do so in public. Parades and so forth. She proved to be lazy and easy going. Well trained and smooth as glass.

Azko looked terrified, perched on a creature even less energetic. Ebsa paralleled him and gave an impromptu lesson in steering and stopping in the small corral outside the barn. Heak at least had the general idea, and Ebsa led them off on a well-lit path to a covered arena where Paer was jumping Crystal over obstacles that appeared to be taller than the mare's back.

"She doesn't expect us to do that, does she?" Azko sounded horrified.

"Nah. That's for maniacs who haven't ridden for two months and just can't live without sore muscles." Ra'd rode up behind them.

Nighthawk steered a black horse around him and peered at the pair in the arena. "Xen says she's a better rider than he is. I don't believe it, of course."

Crystal collected herself and leaped a huge triple.

"But then we don't go around jumping over things for the fun of it. Much."

Ra'd raised an eyebrow. "How sensible."

Nighthawk laughed. "We mostly practice jumping the sorts of natural barriers one is likely to encounter when chasing or being chased by bandits."

"You run from bandits?" Ra'd looked down his nose.

"Depends on the odds." Nighthawk smiled sweetly. "Because I'm sensible."

Paer trotted up to the fence. "Right. Got that out of my system. Now why don't you all come in? I won't keep you out too long, nor expect you to jump anything."
