Story: (882)
It had been a few days since Pinky had joined the Rose Garden residence. She had been on a rest, only being lunged every other day to keep her moving. She had time to get used to her surroundings and had been led around all the facilities. Pinky had proven herself a fine companion to walk around with and to sit with. Which is how every day had been spent when there were no lessons to teach. Lilith got herself the classes back with Miriam, now on her new horse Kiss. Miriam seemed happier about the riding aspect of her new horse, but the behaviour was not appreciated by her stable help.

'Mom. I need Kiss to behave towards the help, otherwise I have to do it myself.' Lilith had overheard the two bickering for a while now. They forgot that Pinky's stall was across the hall.

'We'll buy a retraining for him if you so think it's needed. We can get him trained by a professional.' Later that day she had subtly asked Margaret whether or not Lilith would be up to train Kiss on her own.

The question had stuck to her thoughts and she wasn't too happy about it. As she grabbed Pinky's tack, she diverted her thoughts. She hated the pink colour that came with the horse, but decided to stick with it nonetheless. It suited the little drama queen of a mare. The horse stood on the cross ties as if it was about to fall asleep. Lilith murmurs something to her every now and then, patting the rich black coat.

'You're done, madam.'

She prepared her own clothing and collects the mare on her way to the arena. Though she had proven herself capable of jumping and dressage, she wanted the mare to learn more groundwork first. She had lunged Pinky for a couple of days in a row, building up the intensity and the complexity of the trainings. They were getting quite ahead of the game and soon she would be ready to ride.

'Hi, Lilith.' Miriam always used this weird honey pitch in her voice.
'Hi Miriam.' She answered short and to show she wasn't in for a talk, she let go of the bridle and let the mare start her warm-up circles.

'You've got a beautiful mare...'
'Thanks.'

Lilith walked the mare off to the other end of the arena and picked up the lunging whip. Time to work. They picked up a trot and started working on some transitions and bends. As of the last day or two, she had considered picking up a small canter during the trainings. Mostly she focussed on making sure she would move her front and hind. Away and towards the whip. She spend a good lot of the time working with different objects and scary situations. For fun but also to bulletproof the spooky and playful mare. Slowly the mare starts to react more to small aids and voice commands.

On the other side of the arena, Kiss started misbehaving every now and then, resulting in a crack of the whip Miriam was carrying. Lilith had seen the training issues many times with this horse and decided not to pay too much attention. They are close to each other every now and then when Pinky moves on the circle. Kiss not letting him be controlled by Miriam at all, inching closer to the mare every chance he got.

That's the moment that Kiss decides that Pinky is the evil mare that came too close to him. He runs forward and kicks out both of his hind legs. Miriam shrieks as she tries to hold on to anything she could find. The legs came up high enough to reach Pinky's head. The mare stops dead in her tracks and moves sideways.

'Whoa, steady girl.' Her voice shaky from the incident. 'You're okay, girl. Come.' The mare stands for a moment but then decides walking towards Lilith is a safe option.

'I'm so sorry! I didn't know he would do that!' Miriam's voice sounded small and highpitched. She's on the other side of the arena trying to dismount Kiss. He is still excited and prancing about, proud of his buck.

'Your precious, needs some training.' Lilith scowls at the girl. 'Real soon, or you're going to get him euthanised.' She quickly reaches for Pinky and checks her for injury. The buck seemed to have been a close miss, but she walks off a little bit to see if the stop had hurt.

Miriam watches as Lilith marches off with the black mare. She's still on Kiss, trying to figure out what to do with him. She was fine riding him when there were no horses around.. but this couldn't do. She picks up her phone and calls her mother.
'I'm not going to ride this horse again before he is trained to behave.'

The sigh on the other side of the line, makes her worry about it. Becca had worried about this the moment they layed eyes on the horse. They had already asked Margaret for the horse to be trained, but no reply came from them. If Lilith won't do it for them, would they even be able to find a trainer that wants to handle him?

Took me a good while to finish this. Still getting used to the program and the tablet, but I think it's getting better. I also was inspired to try different techniques after watching Marco Bucci's 10 minutes to better painting series on youtube. Hope you like!
