Anastasia took the reins from Samsul when he handed them to her. She nodded her head, "I used to help my dad with the stallions back home... I'll be fine."

She watched Samsul as he went to retrieve his own horse. She looked on as he climbed onto his horse, still amazed by its sheer size before she climbed onto her own. She moved her dress in such a way that it allowed her to not ride side saddled. She couldn't remember the last time she rode for pleasure. Normally, she rode while doing a chore or breaking the stallions with her father. The horse under her didn't seem to enjoy having someone on top of it as it bounced slightly on its hooves. Anastasia held tightly to her reins, preparing but took no action. A moment later, he rose onto his hide hooves, kicking the air. Prepared for this. Anastasia grabbed his mane and gave a quick jerk on the reins and he lowered. She pulled one half of the rein, turning him one way before turning him the other. After a moment, it seemed he had calmed down and was willing, for now, to work with her. She brushed some of her hair out of her face and grinned, "That was fun! Shall we head out?"
