Bellisario nudged Jessica before prancing down the street a bit, turning back to look at her, begging for some fun. Jessica shot a glance at Monty and as always he understood what was on her mind and nodded. He would make sure that the cowboy's mare got settled in so she might as well go have some fun. She turned and gave a short, shrill whistle. Bellisario whirled with a rear and galloped towards her, aiming past her. As the stallion came abreast of her, Jessica grabbed his mane and let his momentum snap her into the air and onto his back.

They thundered a ways down the street, before Jessica signaled the stallion and he came to a sliding halt, whirling back the way they had come at another signal. This time Jessica held him to a prancing trot, halting him again in front of the stables where the cowboy stood grinning from ear to ear. Yer a mighty fine rider ma'am, he said. It shore was nice to watch you two work.

Jessica felt her cheeks heat at the praise. She never did this to show-off and most of the time was oblivious to anything but the stallion underneath her. Thank you, she said politely, trying not to feel uncomfortable. She touched the stallion's neck and walked away towards an empty paddock, the stallion following right along behind her.
