The chestnut stallion raced around the paddock they had put him in, kicking up his heels occasionally as he did so. Not being ridden for a while left him with plenty of pent-up energy, and he craved human attention. He did this for a few moments more, playfully bucking occasionally before making his way back the the gate, trotting up and down the fence, his nickers being carried away by the breeze.

Dustin walked around the pastures, he decided that while it was a nice day he'd explore a bit. Picking at some grass as he walked, Dustin stroked horse noses when he could reach, He noticed a chestnut racing around and stood leaning on the fence to watch, it always had amused him to watch horses when they where feeling silly.

Dawson noticed a human standing near the fence after a few more rounds of the paddock, and he made his way towards him, ears pricked in interest, nostrils flaring softly to take in this person's new scent. He came to a standstill next to the fence, watching the person calmy, brown eyes flicking over him.

Dustin laughed as the horse started coming towards him, he softly touched the chestnuts soft nose and smiled. "want some company do ya? pretty boy. who do you belong to.." Dustin stopped leaning on the fence and rubbed the horses neck slowly moving his hands up to rub his ears and under his forelock.. Slowly moving along the fence a bit Dustin carefully jumped over into the paddock then waited to see what the horses reaction would be.

Dawson minded his manners, standing quietly, though sniffing Dustin's shoulder gently, swishing his tail every now and again. He was happy with the attention, he had loved human attention since he had been a foal.

Dustin grinned at the horse and rubbed his shoulder, He wondered if the horse was broken, It had been ages since Dustin had ridden a horse and he was quite eager to get on a horse again.. Dustin watched the horses carefully and ran his hands along its back before leaning slightly to see if he would mind the weight on his back.

Dawson didn't fidget, recognising the signs the human was giving him. He stood patiently, accustomed to a person's weight already, it didn't bother him one bit to have Dustin leaning his weight against his back.

Dustin Rubbed his back for a few minutes occasionally resting some weight, until he finally grabbed a handfull of Mane and through himself onto the horses back, He held onto the mane and rubbed his neck..

Dawson's ears flicked back, alert and waiting for Dustin to give him a command. He shifted his weight slightly so he was more comfortable, but other than that slight movement, stood still and responsive where he stood, his training had been well done.

Dustin happily rewarded the horse by stroking his neck, after getting comfortable, which anyone knows can be hard bareback, He looked around and shrugged. Dustin Gave a little tap with his heels urging the horse forward and decided if the horse was good, he'd ask for some speed.

Dawson started forward at a comfortable walk, long fluid strides eating up the ground beneath them. He longed to go faster, but wouldn't until Dustin asked him to.

Dustin smiled at the way the horse obeyed everything he asked, He stroked his neck again and grabbed two handfuls of mane before leaning forward. Dustin took a quick second to look around and after he made sure everything was clear he kicked hard enough so that the horse would know that he was asking him to let loose..

Dawson eagerly obeyed, smooth stride lengthening, the ground flying away beneath his hooves. He was happy to be ridden, he hadn't been since he was brought to this new place, his feeling of horsie boredom dying as he ran.

Dustin laughed and gripped with his knees so he wouldn't fall off, he loved going fast, thats why whenever he rode his horse came back all sweaty and puffing. But he had always rode a horse that loved to run so it wasn't bad. Dustin breathed in the air and urged the horse faster to see how fast he could go.

Dawson stretched out until his head and tail were almost level, a huge burst of speed erupting from him as a result. Ears swivelled back so he could listen to Dustin, he was happy galloping along the fence-line, the exercise felt good.
