Without thinking, I tap Lanie's side with my feet. A feeling of elation runs through my blood as she speeds up into a brisk trot. I don't mind that I'm bouncing all over the place. My mind travels to watching Maddie as she trotted around the field earlier, she would bounce up wait a beat and come back down, up again and back down.

The more I think about the action the more I find myself doing it. I'm in a state of absolute endorpia as I trot in a circle around Erin (trainer). I'm Brough back down to earth when I hear an unbelieving yell.
"Mum look, she's trotting with no hands! I didn't tell her how to either!" I smile, I couldn't have been the first to do that.
"I think it's time you take the reign now. I will unclip you from the lead rope." My smile stretches as I trot of on my own. Just me and the horse, as it should be.
