Jill reported that the day’s hack was awesome and then while lunging, Not-so was actually, indeed, totally terrific. He only needed to be chased to continue on the right rein once.

While riding out with the boss, Jill was told about KC's fear of bikes and given the instruction that if the bike club were to ever come by, to dismount. Jill thought she might be safer on his back, but she had done one emergency dismount in her life so, which ever way it were to shake out, she felt ready.
She apologized to the boss when Not So spooked "Sorry, Casey did that." Who was apologizing to her that her mount spooked? It could have been a lot worse, but Jill had the knack of smoothing these things out -- the key to KC staying relaxed is the rider staying relaxed. And, her sense of humour was good for that. "He usually doesn’t wake up until after the first trot."
Once left to their own devices, they hacked right past a stallion and went along the edge of all the paddocks on the quarter horse farm. It was lovely. Jill could swear that horse needed someone like her to come a long and show him how to relax in a pinball machine.
She thought she better clean some tack before tacking up Finn and taking him for a hack/trot set. She wanted to take out that pathway went all the way back into the woods, where she went with Nellie, and was able to pick a pinecone from a tree while on her back.
