-She rides in on Alcippe, a young, stubborn mare. She enters her into the ring and walks her twice around. Then, she eases her into a brisk sitting trot, then rising trot. She works her into a nice extended trot, and works on outside lead. After working around the ring a few times, she squeezes her into canter. Alcippe puts her head down, trying to regain her balance, and then bucks, throwing her off. Indira gets up and grabs the reins. "Don't." She firmly says. The horse breaths heavily, ears back, nostrils flaring. Indira sets up a small cross rail and trots once around before getting Alcippe to try it. She does it once, and ends in a canter. "Good girl." She coes. Wanting to end on a positive note, she walks her on a loose rein, cooling her off, before walking her back to the stable. -
