"H-hey there, pretty girl..."
Shakuntala approached Scout gently and gave her a smile. The mare hung her head close to the trainee; the heat of her nostrils warming the interior of her neck. She chuckled at this and patted Scout's neck. "Are you... Are y-you ready for another ride?"
As she had decided earlier, Velvet was still her favorite amongst the horses that were within the stalls. Why, Shakuntala even visited the ebony steed after riding on Scout; apologizing profusely to her for having too much fun with another and promising she'd only ride her until her graduation. But now... Now, her heart was fluttering at her infidelity. She had never been so excited to be by such a strong, majestic steed; one that could send her to heaven by just climbing on her back.
One last time... she promised herself mentally as she guided Scout to the hurdles. Her last and final time with such a lovely horse.

She felt her soul soar as Scout made a lovely, bounding leap over the first hurdle. Even the mare's landing was gentle, hardly rocking her rider as she landed gracefully on all four hooves. Shakuntala kept her steady before applying a taut pressure to the reins. Scout followed in her guidance to the second, picking up speed as the two approached.

Scout's second leap was as grand as her first as a billow of dirt burst come her landing. Shakuntala kept the mare straight as the headed for hurdle three in a powerful beat of hooves and, unsurprisingly, laughter from the copper-skinned girl. Her joy was incredible.

Again, her distraction got the best of her. Scout was charging in speed and it frightened her rider immensely. She pulled back on the reins with too much force and the horse skidded to a halt just before hurdle three; knocking down a few poles come her stop. Shakuntala let out a breath to calm her nerves.
"Hah..." she panted, collecting herself, before she added, "O-okay, let's... L-let's go, girl..."

The two got into the motion again as they headed for hurdle four. Gently putting pressure into Scout's belly, she picked up speed, and crested over the obstacle with ease again.

The fifth hurdle was conquered with the same talent. But even though she wanted to celebrate her small victories, Shakuntala did not let her concentration slip. Whenever she did, her horse seemed to follow suit, and a mistake was lingering on the distance. The trainee did not seek perfection, but she demand progress with ever try. She was going to get better. She must.

After the sixth, Shakuntala kept Scout steady as she went on to the seventh hurdle.

The mare's nostrils flared upon clearing the following hurdle. Shakuntala could feel the tightening of Scout's muscle with her legs; she wanted to run, run as fast as she could, but the trainee kept her at a steady pace. If she let her go, Shakuntala might end up escaping the camp with her.

"You're... Y-you're doing good, girl!" Shakuntala let the mare know, though whether she was understood or not was questionable. They'd only one more to go; one final hurdle and she was done for good.

Shakuntala brought Scout to a slow trot then halt upon clearing the final, ninth hurdle. The two panted heavily. Despite the ride not being as intense as their first, it still took a bit out of both of them, and when Shakuntala dropped down to the sod, she felt her knees buckle a little under the light weightlessness in her legs. It was a sensation the girl was positive she'd never get used to.
Flashing Scout a grin, she withheld her desire of hugging her for the ride. As stated before, it wasn't a perfect run, but without gloating, she seemed to have done much better than the others. Reluctantly, she returned Scout to Ervette to be used by other trainees as she returned to the grass to rest and watch. Call Shakuntala a bit full of herself (which was a rare feat for her), but she enjoyed gazing at others for their mistakes, and let this become her entertainment as she rested. At least it kept her guilty feelings concerning Velvet away. If she ever found out that the trainee went against her word, Shakuntala could only imagine the tantrum she'd through. Well, if she understood the means of a broken promise, she guessed.

Zin corrected her posture as Ervette had instructed, and Vivi seemed to respond. She was able to get the mare back on course. The trainee squeezed her mount's flanks a bit more vigorously than before and was able to complete her third lap at a brisk pace.
