[Kotetsu's hat has been replaced with a stetson, but he doesn't look too upset about it. Pretty much the opposite, in fact.]

Soooo, anyone know how to ride a horse?

Comments

[optimistickey]

I can ride a horse! [Not very well, but he can figure it out well enough.]

[eyeofwildtiger]

Can you teach me?

[optimistickey]

I dunno...I'm not an expert or anything; I haven't done it that much.

But I don't think it's that tough to learn!

Famous last words...

[eyeofwildtiger]

Yeah, how hard can it be?

Indeed!

[optimistickey]

The only way to know for sure is to try, right? I think there's still a bunch of horses around the Recreation Deck.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Meet you there!

[optimistickey]

All right!

[And a little while later, Sora's hanging around the Rec Deck...there's a couple of horses hanging close to the rodeo area, already saddled.]

[eyeofwildtiger]

[Gets they pretty quickly.] Hey, nice.

[optimistickey]

[Sora waves to him once Kotetsu shows up.]

Okay! So, the first thing I remember from doing it before is...you gotta make sure you get up on it from the left side! It can get spooked the other way.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Left side. Got it. What else?

[optimistickey]

Ummm... [He thinks a bit.]

If you want it to go, you give it a bit of a kick in the side! But not too hard.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Doesn't that hurt 'em?

[optimistickey]

Not if you do it carefully! Horses are pretty tough.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Oh, right... Guess I'll just be careful.

[optimistickey]

[Sora motions to one of the nearby horses.]

Come on, give it a try!

[eyeofwildtiger]

Okay... Left side... [And climbs up!]

[optimistickey]

[Horse doesn't seem to be protesting yet, so that's a good sign!]

Yeah, that's it!

[eyeofwildtiger]

It's taller than I thought...

[optimistickey]

I guess they're kinda tall...but just don't fall off and you'll be fine!

[eyeofwildtiger]

I'll be careful. Which one are you going for?

[optimistickey]

Ummm... [Sora glances around, and then sees a small black horse that is all saddled up. He heads over that one.]

I'll try this one!

[eyeofwildtiger]

Looks good.

[optimistickey]

[Sora pauses, then goes and hoists himself up on the horse. The horse whinnies and bucks a little bit when he does.]

Heeey, woah there!

[eyeofwildtiger]

[...which, in turn, spooks Kotetsu's.]

Whoa! St-stop that!

[optimistickey]

[Oops, that wasn't the intent he was going for. Sora grabs the reins and tries to calm down his horse, and it starts to trot around.]

It's okay, just get it calm!
