"Alright, you can't be too tense or you will start to bounce," Lily said sternly before she pulled the reins of her horse to signal it to slow down while waiting for Zhuo Jingren to catch up to her. They were currently circling slowly around the barn to get used to riding.
"Just relax…I noticed that you tend to tighten your legs around the horse which is not good. You have to think of… how should I put it…" She made a deliberate pause. "It's like being one with the horse. Imagine it as an extension of you, instead of an animal that you are riding."
Lily knew that Zhuo Jingren was intelligent but it was not until today that she saw how his intelligence was put to the test. Zhuo Jingren was a fast learner and was able to follow her instructions well. Though Lily never dared to underestimate her man, she was pleasantly surprised at his progress and even wonder why he was afraid of horses in the first place.
