Payment for SlightlyMadStables (1/2) of SlightlyMad's Fool For Your Love for horses 1 and 8 from this adoptables batch Halfway through, since I was working in both Gimp and Sai, it didn't save properly and the 60+ layers I had were merged into 3... hence the unfinished shading -.-

A nice, cool breeze was picking up just as Rush walked towards the large outdoor arena with their temporary Italian visitor, Hitman. The young stallion had his ears pricked as he looked around this strange new place that had proven to have such dreary weather then shook his mane and snorted. Rush walked him to the centre of the arena, tightened the girth, then ran the stirrups down and mounted. He'd offered to give a bit of help with Hitman's training in jumping since his owner Sophia and his rider Matteo had gotten to know Sterlingwood a bit through the monthly SVI Schooling Show and thought it would be good to introduce the stallion to some new places at a young age. He let him walk on a fairly loose rein quietly, glancing around. Jesse had set up some very small jumps for them some time before since Rush had been busy taking care of some new arrivals, including the newest staff member, whom Rush still wasn't all too thrilled about... For his own reasons. He urged Hitman into a nice, quiet trot, just as Jesse and Joachim, who'd hung around a bit longer, came over to watch for a few minutes. Rush trotted Hitman over some small cross-rails, which the stallion pranced over easily, lifting his hooves up neatly, then turned him towards a low, blue and white vertical. Hitman pricked his ears smartly, flaring his nostrils eagerly, then took off over the jump like it was a giant oxer, catching Rush by surprise and throwing him forward in the saddle. A string of loud cursing came from Rush's mouth as he came down in a rather unfortunate way, his man bits receiving a solid saddle-battering, but Hitman thought nothing of it and cantered on to the next jump. Rush managed to turn him away, sitting the trot then slowing him to a walk, still growling profanity under his breath.
"Zat looked painful," Joachim puffed, his teeth gritted from almost feeling the pain himself.
"Mm," Jesse merely replied, trying not to grin too broadly, "Yep. Not much bed action for you this coming week."
