Micah drew Bourkan back slightly, to try and give Ebony more room. Nearly immediately afterwards, he attempted to draw his mount around. The stallion wasn't happy about this idea. He knew exactly what Micah wanted him to do, but didn't curve so well around his rider's leg. Instead, he snorted and crowhopped. Piaffe was a move that came nearly natural to him after hours of practising, but turning so short immediately following a draw on the reins was not comfortable and the stallion retaliated. He let his form drop and tossed his head again, sidestepping and balancing on his hind legs as he half reared. Micah frowned "Come on Bourkan...it wasn't personal, piaffe! You know how!" the two finally fell back into form, but Micah knew Chaviva had seen everything.
