Ann walks back over and hands Siri the halter.
She turns to Flash and slips it over his head.He is docile, and she jokes with us."You were saying what about horses not being pets?"
"She's cocky too," I growl at Ann.
"Yeah, I noticed that."Ann chuckles, enjoying my situation immensely.
Siri walks around Flash, checking him out as she explains, "My grandparents had a farm when I was growing up, and they had cattle and horses.I've ridden all my life.I helped raise, break and train Flash.He was my responsibility.He is a fine beast, Ann."
She slides her hand down his front leg, and he lifts his foot, letting her hold it.She sets it down and looks at me."I knew what I was doing," and feel her putting me firmly in my place.
Ann punches my arm."Yeah, Bro.Chill.She knows what she is doing."I look at Ann's happy face, then look away toward the fence to get my shit together.I'm not used to being 'handled' so skillfully.
This woman is full of surprises, and if I'm going to win her heart, I better get used to it.I smirk and look back.Scanning Ann's eyes briefly, then giving Siri my direct stare.
Ann almost roars with laughter but holds back enough to tease me."Big Bro, this girl is perfect for you.She's gonna keep you on your toes."
I agree."She is full of surprises."
Siri informs Ann, "And Ann?I bought these boots brand new too."
Ann looks at me, "Sassy too."Then she says to Siri."My bad!You just look too prissy to be a real Cowgirl."
"Looks can be deceiving."Siri gives her a head nod.
Flash has been ignored long enough and pushes Siri's back, making her step forward.
Ann asks, "Can you put him through his paces for me so I can see what he can do?"
"Sure."Siri agrees as she pats him on his neck."It's been a long time since I rode, but I think I can remember how."
"I hear ya."Ann laughs and elbows me.
Siri takes a handful of Flash's mane, and I realize she's about to mount him.I take a step forward."Bareback?Without a bridle?"I feel my 'thunderous' frown return.
"Affirmative."She answers, glancing back at me."Chill, would ya?I got this."
Ann can't help herself.She laughs out loud.Nodding her head towards me, she says."I like you, Siri.I think you can handle him."
I hand shuck her, and she pretends to stumble.
Siri says, "If it will make you feel better, bring me the lead rope."
I take it from Ann and walk up to her.She is all business as she hooks it to both sides of the halter, making a makeshift bridle.Then she sweetly asks me, making me feel out of place again."Does that make you feel better?"
"A little."I acknowledge, then interlock my fingers and bend over, making a foothold for her.Flash looks back and touches his nose to my ass, and I smirk at her."If he bites me, there will be hell to pay."
She laughs and pushes me away."Rather safe than sorry then.He didn't use to, but he knows you don't like him."
She wraps her hand in his mane, and with the grace and strength of the pole dancer she is, she swings herself onto his back without any problem.
Flash prances as she settles in.She coos to him, "Easy boy.I'm gonna ride you hard, I promise, but first, we have to show them what you can do."She lifts her hands over her head and guides him with her knees, backing him away from us.
Ann swats my arm again."You have SO got your hands full with that girl!And I have SO got a great horse."
Siri puts Flash through his gaits, and I relax.She does know what she's doing, and he is a well-trained stallion.I fold my arms over my chest and enjoy the bouncing tits show as they trot, then canter around the corral.Then she settles him into a walk, puts her hands on her head again, and turns him toward us.
As they arrive, she hugs him, lifts her leg over his back, and slides down his shoulder to the ground.I take his halter and hold his head while I unhook one side of the makeshift reins she didn't use as Siri gives Ann her opinion."He doesn't appear to be injured or scarred.He responded well.He was trained to rope cows, but you'll need a saddle to pull that off."
