Ganga - First Touch [drawn by me]

.: First Saddle :.
I was feeling wary of how Ganga would react, but I had decided it was time enough for his first saddle. I had only recently named him, but he didn't seem to mind that. I collected the starter tack that Adurna and Brisingr had used, for they I had recently ordered custom tack for them and they didn't have a use for it anymore.

I was not in the mood to catch him, and had left him in his stall overnight. Needless to say he was practically bouncing off the walls. This is what happens when you leave a very big, very energetic and mischievous creature with incredibly strong hands and limbs overnight in a wooden stall, I reflected as he nearly knocked me over in his excitement. It was nearly fifteen minutes before he was calm enough that I could get him to calmly inspect the saddle, saddle blanket, and bridle.

The saddle blanket went on easiest, and the saddle wasn't too hard, but the bridle was a huge problem. Ganga had decided that he was tired of what I was doing, and kept jerking his head away at the last moment. After about the dozenth time, I smacked by forehead and tried not to get impatient. Ganga had paused and was looking at me with a curious expression, and catching him by surprise, I finally managed to get the bridle over his ears and fasten the buckles. He snorted and gave me an offended look. I lightly shoved his shoulder and he snorted, looking away. "Oh, c'mon ya big grump. There'll be time for games later," I told him as I led him outside.

.: First Ride :.
Things went wrong as soon as I took Ganga outside. The new mare, Freya, accompanied by Adurna and Brisingr, came over, and Ganga began to act show-offy again. He broke my grip on the lead rope and pranced around the females with a haughty air. I sighed and lunged after the lead, but that only made him think it was a game. Ganga charged away up the pasture and I groaned.

I followed him, chasing him up the field, but this only made him more certain this would annoy me, and he continued to the far end of the pasture before wheeling around and prancing back down. Naturally as far from me as possible. Panting slightly, I continued after him. I managed to corner him against the barn and fence. Picking up the lead-rope and dragging him over to a mounting block, I muttered "I did not mean it was time for games right this instant."

I repeated what I had done with Adurna and Brisingr, and was honestly wholly expecting him to kick me over his head. Luckily, he didn't. I had taught him what was expected of him when I clicked my tongue, similar to what I had practiced with Brisingr. I clicked my tongue softly to get his attention, before clucking at him again. He immediately took off at a gallop around the paddock. I only just managed to get him to stop, and quickly dismounted and led him back into his stall so I could remove his tack.

Well, it had been a first ride, I reflected after turning him out. It was chaotic and completely without order, needing a lot more work, but it was a first ride. Wearily, I leaned against the rail wondering why I had picked him. The salesperson had said he was a handful, but I chose him anyways, and not just because he was pretty. If anything, he reminded me of myself when I was younger. Rowdy, full of energy, and completely uncontrollable.
