Following spending time grooming Shadow and getting to know the gelding before tacking him up he'd led the excited horse to the mounting block. He was glad to be out of his house however, well out of his house and out of his family. It hadn't been originally planned but he'd slipped up with how he identified, and his parents had promptly cast him out with the agreement of a monthly stipend to handle any costs. They'd also allowed him to request one horse to be purchased for him. Well... requested. It had been more in lines with it being part of the agreement for him to go peacefully.

Easily he walked the gelding into the outdoor school, watching how the black horses ears swivelled, feeling the bounce in his stride as he moved forward confidently. Carefully he'd turned him to shut the gate behind him before he'd felt him jogging back. "Easy boy," he murmured softly as he sat up once the gate was fully shut.

Then he paused to check his stirrups were indeed comfortable length for him before nudging the clearly energetic gelding into a walk. Shadow snorted beneath him his walk still bouncy as he strode forward head up ears pricked listening to each and every noise about him, one ear flicking back to listen to his rider however.

At the slight squeak of the gate Shadow trotted forward even as Gabriel turned to check who was joining him.
