Horse Riding

Jian frowned and Johnny smiled as he explained, "Nick and I were talking when you guys were on the dance floor and once, he found out that I knew horse riding he had to have a competition to see who was better, anyways come I will guide you first." He extended a hand and Jian nodded reaching out to hold his hand while they walked outside.

They walked towards the stalls and Jian smiled asking, "When did you learn horse riding?"

"It was at the academy I went to, the place used to collaborate with a horse ranch to reward children to showed excellence in their behavior and studies," he said his tone neutral but as Jian glanced at his face, she noticed a hint of anger.

"John, are you alright?" she asked worried, and he smiled squeezing her hand saying, "Yes, I'll tell you later, anyways, let's start by choosing a horse for you." She nodded as they walked inside the stalls with a few horses that stayed in their separate stalls.

"So firstly, let's see which horse likes you, we can start with the most gentle one," John said as they walked towards the end. The reached the last stall on the left and John smiled saying, "This is Glory, she's a few years old and has been on this ranch ever since she was born, she is also the sweetest horse here."

He then opened the gate and went inside as he reached forwards he said, "Try to be within her eyesight and first just let her get used to you, like this." He petted her a few times before offering a hand to Jian to walk inside and she did.

"So, how do you feel?" He asked as he watched Jian and Glory. He held a gentle smile watching her stroke Glory's neck while her eyes beamed with joy. "Happy," Jian said turning to him and he laughed before saying, "That's good, let's get Glory reading for riding and then we can take her out." She nodded helping him as he taught her how to hold the rains and how to secure the saddle.

John and Jian spent the first two hours practicing on how to get on Glory then on how to walk, and stop. That was all he was able to teach her before Nick came over saying, "So love birds, how's it going?"

"Good, she's a naturel, anyways, Jian I will be back, stay with Nick alright?" Johnny asked and she nodded before he walked away. Jian turned her attention to Nick who asked, "Jian, you wanna get some water?" Jian nodded and he smiled saying, "Let's go over there." Jian nodded as she gently guided Glory to start walking and softly loosened the rains. She pulled them back gently as she shifted her weight and Glory stopped at a table nearby.

"You sure learned fast, huh," Jian heard from the side and smiled at Kira who rode over. "It's was all thanks to Johnny and Glory," Jian said as she gently petted the mare and Kira laughed. "So where is lover boy?" Kira asked as she glanced around, and Jian surged.

She was about to say she didn't know when they heard hooves approaching them. The turned to glance at Johnny who rode towards the on a stallion that neither had seen before.
