Dustin smiled and took the rope, he made a few changes so he sorta had reigns, as good as it was going to get, he put a little weight on the horses back, knowing he was heavier than Lily.. After a few minutes, while talking to Deductive, Dustin jumped on his back and stroked his neck..

She stood watching as he adjusted the rope, creating make-shift reins from it. He was pretty handy, apparently. Then she watched as he tested his weight on Deductive's back, finally mounting when he knew the horse would tolerate him. After all, he must have at least a good thirty or forty pounds on her.
ooc: sry, no muse, lol

A sheepish smile crept across her face as he asked his question. "Umm...once?" She knew it had been stupid to jump him when she'd only ridden for about twenty minutes, but he'd been responding very well. When he'd started to run away with her, she knew she should have just hauled on one rein, but she hadn't had a chance. Before she could do anything she was on the ground.

Dustin nodded and smiled at Lily a'ight, cool. He urged him forward into a walk and sat back in the saddle as he bucked and pulled back on his reigns when he felt him try to speed up.. Dustin walked Deductive around for a few minutes then asked for a trot, He sat in the saddle, pulling deductive to a halt, Dustin waited for Lily to catch up.

As Dustin rode around on Deductive, Lily ambled behind them, headed in the general direction of the barn as she followed the pair. She was exhausted, but she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep until tomorrow, so she did her best to stay awake. They'd have to play cards or something tonight. Anything to keep her mind off of how tired she was and how much pain she'd be in if her meds wore off.

As Dustin waited for Lily to catch up, he put up with the tantrums coming from underneath him, it didn't bother him, most horses while being broken where alot worse, But deductive only had a problem with a big scary rock, that if you measured wouldn't be 5cms..Silly horse.
Dustin smiled when Lily caught up, he gave Deductive a rub on the shoulder. how are ya?..you should jump on the back..

Lily watched as he dealt with Deductive's movements. He was a good horse, and she couldn't wait until he was trained. "I'm okay, but I think you're right. Give me a hand, will ya?" Walking up to the horse's side, she extended her good arm and waited for Dustin to help her into the saddle, or rather, behind the saddle.

Dustin leaned over a little keeping the reigns fairly tight, so Deductive might think he can't move forward..it worked with some horses.. Grabbing Lily's arm, Dustin Quickly let go of the reigns, using his second arm to support her back, he lifted her onto Deductive's back and grabbed the reigns again. so, what am i right about?.. He smiled again and urged Deductive forward, getting a crab walk.

"That I should hitch a ride, silly. Walking is tiring me out." Besides, she wanted to ride again. It was what she loved, and Lily would gladly do it all day everyday if she could. But alas, she had a life. Or at least a semblance of one. A job. She had a job. But she was making a few friends, and that was always a good thing. Gotta start somewhere, after all.

Dustin laughed and nodded. im just Too brilliant.. Without much care he asked Deductive for a trot, getting yet another Crabby gait..It was funky the way he acted sometimes.. he's gonna be fun breaking him in if he acts like this the whole time.. Yawning Dustin sighed, he still had to make a few phone calls to a few friends in the city, he had promised to visit them but hadn't got round to it yet.

"Yes, you're absolutely brilliant sometimes." She grinned at him and braced herself as Deductive picked up a funky gait. "I agree. But he's good when he wants to be, and I think he has a lot of potential. If we train him well, he'll go places. I was kinda hoping to enter him in the next show, though I know it's probably a little ways away."

Dustin smiled and nodded in agreement, he made Deductive do a few tight circles before letting him move forward again. Dustin did the same thing until Deductive stopped trotting like a crab, it felt weird and he didn't want him to pick up on the habit. well, ya should..When i help ya break him..the important thing is that he gets too know you..

"Right. Unfortunately, I won't be doing too much training for a week or so. And for another week after that it'll be light training, until my arm heals completely. I mean, it's nothing serious, but it'll be bruised and sore." She kept her balance low as the horse turned. It seemed he was starting to get out of his habit already. He must have been in a wierd mood or something.

Dustin stroked Deductive's neck as a reward, he had no worries when breaking horses anymore..Of course he had falls and stuff but he didn't find it overly difficult, the first lot where hard..
yea, i can work with him while you get better if ya want..just ground work, with you helping, it'll be easier, and i can get him to weight bear..if ya want..
