Chapter 26

“Alright,” I say uneasily. I make the clicking sound with my tongue, like Lance taught me, and Molly starts forward at her slow trot. I delicately direct her toward the opening in the fence ahead. It takes a little getting used to, but Lance’s description of aiming her head where I want to go helps me visualize the process a lot better.

Finally we’re on the street and I look at Lance with a proud grin strapped to my face.

“Ya ready to put on a little speed there, Chelle?” he asks. “It’ll take all day t’git across town at this pace.”

“Um, okay,” I say, my confidence cracking under the idea of changing tempo.

“Hup, hup,” Lance yells and Molly instantly speeds up, turning the slow trot into a rather bouncy gallop. I can’t keep my butt on the seat. Forget about steering, I just don’t want to fall off.

Lance appears at my side. “Keep that toe up,” he says loudly. I almost don’t hear him over my all-encompassing fear, but finally his reminder makes it into my brain and I comply. For whatever reason, it seems to almost immediately steady me on the saddle.

“There ye go,” he cheers. “Now you’re looking like a right EQ.”

“Yeah?”

“Naw, ya look mighty green yet, but at least yer still upright.”

“I feel pretty good about that.”

“Ye should. Sitting aside idna easy.”
