The rhythmic sound of hooves striking the soft earth in the training arena
accompanies my instructions. “Sit back in your saddle, Eliza.”
I scrutinize the young rider post atop Bentley, one of Blackburn Farm’s
lesson horses. The morning sun filters through the open doors at the south
end, throwing slivers of dappled light across the ground. Bentley tosses his
head, ears pinned back as they approach, and he tries to decide how
menacing those splotches of pale color may be. Saddlebreds are spirited
horses and some even consider them a little crazy. Bentley’s a good boy, but
sometimes he gets easily spooked.
Which is what he does, skittering sideways to avoid the light and
throwing Eliza slightly off balance.
The sudden motion from the big bay scares the young girl and she leans
her body forward, a counterintuitive move that actually makes her less
stable in the flat English saddle.
“You’re fine,” I say, my tone a mixture of discipline and calm
instruction that horse training demands. “Get him back in a trot.”
The girl straightens.
“Trot,” she commands, and Bentley falls in line, his big head held high
as he slips back into the cadence of alternately lifting each diagonal pair of
legs. Eliza rises and falls in the saddle appropriately, bringing the gelding
back under her command.
I stand in the center of the arena, my keen eyes observing every
movement—the way she holds her hands, her posture, heels down and toes
up—as Eliza guides Bentley around the edge, sticking close to the rail as
she should.
“Good. Now bring him to a walk and two point,” I say.
“Whoa,” Eliza says with a slight pull on the reins and the horse slows.
They plod along as Eliza stretches out of the saddle, legs straightening,
body bent forward.
