Blaze grabbed Amaretto's hand and led him over to Pumpkin, the smallest and sweetest horse in his stable. "Amaretto, Pumpkin. Pumpkin, Amaretto."
-
Amaretto still hid behind Blaze, his free hand holding tught to the carrots. "Is it gentle? Will it bite me?" He asked softly, staring at the horse with wide eyes.
-
Blaze laughed. "Pumpkin here? Never. He couldn't do anything bad even if his life depended on it." Blaze took a carrot and showed Amaretto how to feed the horses. "Now you try."
-
Amaretto hesitated, but picked out one carrot. He set the bag on the ground, hugging one arm around Blaze's torso while he reached out with his other hand to feed the carrot to the horse.
-
Blaze smiled when Pumpkin eagerly licked the carrot out of Amaretto's hand, munching on it. "Do you want to ride?" He asked.
-
Amaretto hugged both of his arms around Blaze, then nodded. "Mhm.."
-
Blaze grinned. "Come on, let's get the stuff." He said. "You can't ride without the bit, bridle, reins, or saddle. Not everything is necessary for Pumpkin, but those are."
(G2g, going to try to win the battle with insomnia for tonight!) -
"Okay," Amaretto agreed. He moved so that he wasn't hugging Blaze's back anymore, instead going to his side and holding his hand. With his other hand, he reached out and pet Pumpkin's nose.
-
Blaze walked towards the tack room, pulling Amaretto along. He grabbed two sets, one for him and Sweetheart, and one for Amaretto and Pumpkin.
-
Amaretto followed, holding his own set while Blaze got his.
-
Blaze led Amaretto back to the adjoined stalls of Sweetheart and Pumpkin, suggesting Amaretto how to put the tack on the horses. As he showed him how to correctly put on each piece, he explained what it was and what it did.
-
Amaretto followed all of the instructions. He was still afraid of the horse biting him, especially when he put the bit in its mouth, but it didn't. Once it was all tacked up, he hummed. "How do I get on it?"
-
Blaze smiled. "That's one of the easiest parts. You put your left foot in the stirrup..." he explained. "And swing your right leg over so you're in the saddle. Make sure your leg is straight, too." He said, proceeding to demonstrate.
-
Amaretto nodded, then copied the action so that he was sitting firmly on the saddle. "How do I make it go? Hiya!" He said, but it didn't move.
-
Blaze chuckled. "Tell him to go ahead. Make sure you use his name, it's Pumpkin. Other wise he won't move." He smiled. "Come on, Sweetheart." He said to his own horse, who obediently moved. He looked back at Amaretto. "Wanna take the trail?"
