Nate nodded his head once, looking back down at the stallion, clucking his tounge slightly against the roof of his mouth. Spirit flicked his ears, raising his head slightly to look at the man, seeing him as no threat. Running his hands down the stallion's legs, Nathan didn't feel any heat, which was always a good sign. Nate took one of the reins from the chesnut's neck, tapping Spirit's flank gently, while standing up slowly. Spirit whinnied, struggling to stand, and got himself half up, but another tap from the man sent the Quarter Horse lunging to his feet. Nate patted the stallion's powerful neck, silently handing the woman behind him the reins.
