He didn’t entirely give up the game he’d invented, which Teagan called troll. Whenever he was bored with their exercises, Ian would suddenly “see a troll” peeking out from behind a tree, from a shadow on the ground, or from behind a fence post. He would shy away or halt suddenly, his ears forward, his nose forward, and he would snort at the perceived thing that frightened him. Teagan learned to stick to the saddle, to pat his neck, as if to say she called his bluff, and get him moving forward again. He never saw the same troll twice. But when they were out, even on the oval of grass traced by a fence, Ian was a different horse. He moved with energy, his stride long and easy, his ears lightly forward, his neck soft and body relaxed. Like Teagan, the horse seemed happiest moving along a horizon.
