"Got it. Don't worry, I'm not an idiot when I'm in the saddle." He quickly responded, as he hoisted himself up. The day prior, he spent in the filly's stall with Myrianna. They had bathed her, brushed her coat out, and cleaned her hooves, in a getting to know you kind of day. She sparkled like a brand new penny, it was a little sad she wasn't heading to a show.
"So you're admitting to being an idiot out of the saddle?" She smirked, as she walked alongside her filly as he walked her to
Day one. Time to see what the beasts could do, was the thought in Beckett’s head as she approached a paddock that was currently empty.

Myrianna's life never lead her anywhere. Her mother died before the two of them could really form a bond. She couldn't imprint something from her mother onto herself so young.
