The Pasture

[Xiomara]

"Excellent!" Leaving Crazul's and the horse's company she went to fetch a brush and the saddle. She wasn't sure how experiences Crazul was in riding. Arms full she motioned for him to follow her, with a tilt of her head before wandering off. Once they were in the area to saddle the horses, she tied the horse to a small hook and pat his flanks soothingly. "First thing is that you need to brush the horse's back and girth area, being careful to remove any dirt of grit because it could cause chaffing under the saddle."

Grinning deviously she held the brush out to Crazul expecting him to take it. In the meantime she grabbed the blanket and folded it in half, before she would place it on the horse, but this wouldn't be done until she had finished checking him for sores and after Crazul had finished brushing the horse as well.

He watched Xio move about the horse, somehow knowing through the horses mind what she was doing. "He is fine." He said. He looked in the horses eyes, and an odd look crossed his face. "If you insist." He said, and watched as the horse walked through the open door. Following it outside, it stopped just outside the main door. Crazul placed his hands on the horses back and vaulted up, to sit astride it. The horse walked a short distance, and Crazul's body moved in the same rhythm as the horse, almost as an extension of its body.
