Cassidy walked into the immaculate barn of Golden Saddlebred Stables. Peter Logan strode up with a smile. "Hello Cassidy," he said. "I'd like you to meet our new stallion." He led her to a stall where a big Saddlebred stallion was restlessly pacing his stall. "This is "Speak of the Devil." Devil was a dark bay stallion, 16.1hh, with a fierce glint to his eyes. "We just paid a large sum for him. He's got amazing bloodlines and has been a champion in the showring for years. Ah, he's got only one problem." The gorgeous stallion laid his ears flat. "His temperment is just as his name implies." "And you want me to ride him?" Suddenly Cassidy understood. None of the other hired riders really wanted to ride Devil. Mr. Logan casually picked up the leadrope. "Extra pay of course." He handed the rope to her. Cassidy swallowed and gripped the rope, determind not to be afraid of some silly horse. She let herself in and instantly the stallion lunged at her. Cassidy held up her arm and his teeth struck it. Furious, Cassidy snapped the rope onto his halter and hauled him out. Mr.Logan assisted her as the stallion dragged them down the ailse, trumpeting a call. He settled down once Cassidy began grooming him, and when she got the tack out he got excited. "Now, he likes to test new riders," Mr. Logan said, boosting Cass into the saddle. "Be care-" Devil lunged forwards, bucking and arching his neck. Cassidy kept her firm seat, hands tight on the reins. Finally Devil dropped into a brisk trot. Cassidy brought him under control and then suddenly he erupted to the side, bucking again. Cassidy wasn't fooled. She stuck like a bug - she had learned this when Pride got wild! The stallion, angry that he couldn't shake her, reared, pawing the sky. Cassidy soothed the spirited stallion with her voice and he dropped. She rode him around at a walk, gently massaging his neck as he sprang along. Finally he relaxed and she sat deep, praising lavishly. Devil sighed and Cassidy walked a circle and came back to Mr. Logan, who's mouth was open & eyes were wide. "That was amazing! Your his official rider Cassidy!"
Devil was still spirited and wild, but he formed a bond with his new rider over the days. Mr. Logan decided to put them in a show @ the end of the month.
