Subject: He brushes off his pants sheepishly...

He mounts Ironblade, still a little wary of what the horse may try to do. Finding she wasn't interested at all, he tentatively nudged her forward, ready to begin his training session. Still a little jittery from his fall, he knew it was best to get on directly afterwards. Squeezing a little harder, and pushing forward with his seat, he lets out the reins a bit to tell Ironblade to speed up. She quickens his pace but finds it only at a brisk walk. Perhaps he wasn't squeezing hard enough. He tries again, rocking hard in the saddle, knowing you should push with your seat to help speed the horse up. His face reddens as he realizes how funny he must look, and decides to use his feet more, and his hands. Adjusting his legs behind the girth, he squeezes hard with his claf muscles, and gently presses his heel against Ironblade's side. This time Ironblade broke into a canter. This was smooth, and Kulzin easily rode with it.

He realizes his body was moving too much with the motion. He needed to not move anything above the hips. He tries to imagine looking at himself from far away. Holding on tighter with his legs, he keeps his upper body parallel to the ground, and lets his legs move with the horse from the hips down. (lol, this is hard to explain... I have this problem every riding lesson though.) He sits forward slightly, not so much as one inch of air between his butt and the seat of the saddle. Ironblade speeds up, and Kulzin pushes his hands forward on the neck, grasping the mane to help keep his balance. Once settling in to the galloping stride, he thinks he rather enjoys it. He doesn't relax though, but slows down to a stop, breathing just as hard as Ironblade.

(I thought I'd speed up the training process just a bit, so we can get on with jousting. ;)
