Chiron stood before the students. Today, we will be learning how to ride horses. Although, they may not be as appealing as the Pegasi, you must learn how to crawl before you can walk. I am meaning that first you need to know how to ride a wingless horse before you can fly a winged horse. He paused to catch a breath. Now, it is quite simple to ride a horse. I personally wouldn't know what it is like to ride one since I myself am half horse. He laughed at his own joke. Okay, so, first you have to gain your horse's trust by petting it and staying calm around it. You do not want a disgruntled horse on your hands. He paused to turn his head to sneeze. Pardon me. As I was saying, after you gain the horses trust you will gently climb onto its back. Now, get a horse from a stall and let us see what you already know. He paused.

Ramsey yawned. He'd just, albeit reluctantly, waken up from a nap. He put a thin brown jacket on over a white wifebeater, then found a brown beanie to cover up his bedhead. He was really being lazy today, but he was the only one in his cabin and he had a class to go to. He made sure he had a decent pair of shoes on before he rushed off to the stables. There, he found that he was early-- very early. He listened to Chiron's instruction, then went into the stables.
As soon as he stepped into the stables, the smell of the horses overwhelmed him so that he had to take a few steps back before getting used to it. Ready for take two, he reentered the stables and immediately went to the left. He eyed a sleek black horse with light chocolate brown eyes and a few splotches of chocolate brown in its back. It wasn't the prettiest horse, but he knew it was the one. Ramsey approached it slowly, and once he got to it, he began talking to it in a low, calming voice. "It's alright, boy, it's okay. I won't hurt you. It's okay, it's okay. What's your name?" He continued this until he could find a sign that said its' name. The horse was called Pontus. "Pontus, hm.. well buddy, it's you and me now. I'm Ramsey."
Ramsey entered the stall, but left the door open. He petted the horse's muzzle, and worked his way down to the neck as he sweet talked it some more. Before long, he was able to untie the reign from the ring on the wall. He took a handful of grain from a bag and led the horse outside the stable. He stood next to it with Chiron. "This is Pontus," he told Chiron very quietly, in an almost whisper-like tone. He stood there like a dummy, not knowing anything about horses.

Alex herd what Chiron had said. She went and looked for a horse. She passed a black one then she came to a white stallion. She looked at the plate on the side. Orion it read. "Orion", she said. "That is a pretty name", she said. She scratched the horses ear. She went and got the horse out.
She knew a few things about horses. She basically knew that she would ride today. So she brought the hose a vegetable. The horse ate it up. She waited to see what the horse would do. it seamed clam. Then she went and got a saddle. It would help her and the horse. she strapped it on. She waited for the horse to get used to it. Then she got on. She rode horses before with her mom. So she knew sort-of what to do. She waited for Chiron's next instructions.
OOC: should there be a saddle? If not I can mod.

After Chiron finished his instruction, Joni walked along the stables searching for a horse to ride. She spotted the one she wanted. It was tan with a white spots on it. The gate of it's stale said Clover. "Well, hello, Clover. I think we will get along just fine." She did as Chiron instructed and started to calmly pet the horse and make small talk with it as if it could reply. She noticed a sattle beside the stale. "Is it okay if I ride you?" She asked. The horse made a high pitched noise. "I'm going to take that as a yes." She smiled at the horse as she sattled it and eventually climbed onto it. She saw a few patches of grass in Clover's stale and waved her hand at it. It instantly grew into a lot of grass. Now, Clover had something to snack on. She waited for further instruction.

Tom just had been litsning to what Chiron was saying. He went to go get a horse. He rubbed his eyes. He had been a little tired. He went and looked though the stables. He saw a broen spotted horse. It was a female named Scarlet. Well that was at least what the plate had said. He took the horse out and feed it some straw. "Hey girl", he said." Well I guess I pick you today", he said rubbing the horse. The horse seemed calm. He climed on. He waited for the next thing to do.

Zeke walked into the class and shuddered. Horses scarred him senseless. He had many bad experiences with them which he now knows were not accidents. Horses were his Uncle's territory and when ever he got near them they usually went crazy. Heck he was so scared of Chiron when he first saw him he almost ran home, but as he began to talk to the centaur he grew to be more comfortable around him. He glanced at the horses shyly and edged his way towards them. Apparently his Uncle was in a good mood so the horses weren't going crazy. Or maybe he had accepted his nephew because he himself had a few kids around here.
Zeke let out a sigh as he moved past the most of them. He looked at the horse named Orion but he was already claimed. He then looked around and held in a breath. At the end of the Stable was a white horse. A pale horse.... The horse that the horsemen Death rode. Zeke held back a laugh as he walked over to the horse. He raised his hand to the horse's nose. It looked at him for a few moments before nuzzling his hand. Zeke smiled and then looked for the horses name. "Fate," he said happily as he patted the horses nose.

Levina looked critically at the stables, icey eyes wandered over the horses. Too small, too big, too white, too black... None of the horses seemed to fit her general idea of a noble steed, none of the horses were perfect. She was nearing the end of the stable and was about to give up; the stench of horse was almost overpowering.
A sudden nudge and a nicker caught her attention, and she turned to see a rather small silvery-gray horse, flecked with white and black spots. "Skylar," she whispered, reading the name of the horse that was written above the stable door. Slowly she opened the door, warily glancing around in case the horse tried to excape or murder her.
"I've got the horse. What now?" Levina rubbed the horses silver nose, noticing in wonder how the whiskery part tickled, and how soft the flank was. She truly was a beautiful horse.

Roswell was actually looking foreword to horseback riding, both flying and none flying. Horses were gentle beasts, for the most part- if you exclude the flesh eating sort that is, and similar to Roswell in manner. As prey animals, they were cautious, he was cautious, you have to work for their trust, as you had to do with Ros. Plus... he thought he'd look wicked sweet flying on a pegasus across the sky, shooting arrows from his recurver bow. Especially if he got a chance to use his zigzag ability, locking an arrow on target and having the arrow follow the target through the air. He grinned a slight bit at the thought as Chiron finished his lecter of sorts and let them into the stables.
The rest drifted to horses, picking them out by various means. Roswell stood back, watching as everyone else found a horse. He waited until the one that didn't stand out, stood out more. As some of the other horses were taken by students, Roswell noticed one mare that watched with large eyes at everyone else. She had nothing special about her, she was a blood bay in color, with a rich red-brown pelt and a black mane and tail, she was stocky in build- very similar to the Quarter Horses of the mortal world. Roswell walked towards her, glanced up at the name plate before repeating it. "Anna." It was a... beyond simple name. Roswell reached over, stroking the blood bay's nose lightly while waiting for more instruction.

Robin walked into the stables, he was looking forward to this, after all, horses were his territory. As he walked past several of the horses nuzzled him affectionately, but he couldn't stop and chat, he had a lesson to attend. After listening to Chiron's instructions, he walked over to the horses, ready to pick one. From everywhere horses seemed to try and get his attention, wanting to get picked. But one seemed to stand out for him - a brown horse. 'Ok, what's your name then, hey?' Robin waited a while for the reply. After a while, the horse spoke out. 'Um..... Lyton....sir,' rang out the voice in his head. 'Ok then,' Robin said, and began to saddle him up. When that was finished, he jumped up. Then, without Robin having to do a thing, he took him up to chiron, and waited to be told what to do next.
