Finally, Sarah seemed to hear Charles's voice and turned to him and cried out, "Charles!"
Charles gritted his teeth and tried to bring the mad horse to a stop. He finally was able to reach over and grab the reins and started to control the horse
Charles was an experienced rider, with more than a decade of horse riding since high school. He thought he had good equestrian skills. Once he had control of the reins, he knew he could control the horse enough to keep Sarah safe, even if the horse was scared. However, the same moment he pulled back Sarah's horse, the horse stamped on some explosive firecrackers again.
Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang, the small firecrackers exploded, frightened the horse again. The horse was about to start running off again, but Charles had control of the reins and stopped him, causing it to raise its front legs high into the air in protest neighing loudly.
