Ari stepped silently into the stables and opened the door to Mukta's stable. The dun kathiawari was awake, even though it was pretty early in the morning. Ari brushed her coat thoroughly, calming the tan old mare before the energetic thing could wake all the other horses in the stables.
Ari lead the horse out into the riding ring. It had been months since she'd ridden, but it was 3 am and her siblings insisted on casting enchantments on each other until sunrise. She mounted the horse, preparing to ride bareback, which was the easiest way, as far as she was concerned. She patted the horse's neck lovingly. She would usually start at a slow walk, but she was running low on action. There'd been little serious monster attacks in weeks, and Ari was starting to get restless. She ordered the horse to a fast gallop, and the animal took off. That was one of the things she loved about this horse. She was almost as antsy as her owner.
