"Careful Holden. Zera is very sensitive to emotion. If you get too riled up, you won't be able to control her...and if you get nervous, she will as well. So just tone it down a notch." He laughed, whistling loudly once. The horse's ears perked up and she picked up her pace from her dragging walk to a more energetic walk.

"That's better. Now to turn your horse, you gently pull on the rein that you want to go. So if you want to turn right, you bring your right hand back towards your wrist." He did the motion a few times with his right, then his left, "Same for left. Again, pressure will vary. Just be careful to not be too rough or you'll make her mouth very sore. Now, I use rubber bits for every day riding, since they're gentler on the mouth. So if you do get a little rough on accident, she should make it out unharmed for the most part. Go on, do a few circles. Feel how she moves and move with her."
