Chocolate brown eyes searched the ground as Katt leaned low over Lucy's shoulder. She knew Jake was being really nice by letting her ride the mare, and getting her used to squirming in the saddle would be beneficial for her tracking career.
The dappled gray mare shifted, trying to keep her rider's weight even, and the girl finally gave up the squirming. The mare let out a relieved sigh, and the tiny girl gave her a gentle kick. She started at a hammering trot, and Katt clenched her jaw, trying to match the gait. The mare gave a slight buck, and the girl's eyes widened, grabbing a handful of mane. Her top row of teeth slammed into her bottom lip, cutting into it, and she cursed, pulling back on her reins. She wiped her lip, her eyes wide at the blood.
Katt tore a piece of cloth from her bandana, holding it to her lip. She let the mare go back onto a walk. The blood was cleaned from her lip, and she held pressure on it to stanch the bleeding. Her light voice carried in the air as she sang to the mare.
Hey there. I know it's hard to feel, like I don't care at all... |
