Blood, after listening to what Peregrine said, got back on to Bo and sat up straight with his shoulders square. Getting Bo up to a walk he tried to do as Peregrine said the only problem was squeezing the reigns. Since Blood never squeezed a sponge before he could only imagine.

Peregrine saw Blood's confusion.
"Try sqeezung the reins as if you were wringing water out of a clothe." He instrcuted.

" Oh, I get it like washing my shirt." So walking Bo he tried again this time doing better, but still not getting it exactly right " Well " he said to Peregrine " You can only get better by practising."

"Indeed." Peregrine said. "Have you gotten him to halt yet?"

"Well I'd have to be able to halt living on the road, wouldn't I. Though I get what you mean, but still I've never halted like this before. I've always used a different method, but I've never pulled on the reigns" Blood said patting Bo.

"How did you halt before?" Peregrine asked.

Using the things Peregrine had taught her, she tried to halt again. This time it went more smoothly. Petting the mane of Kindred, she waited for anymore criticizing from Peregrine.

"Wonderful halt." Peregrine said to Monotah. "4 points to the Predators."

"Well usually I'll squeeze his chest a bit with my knees and slightly leant back." Blood said.

"Instead of squeezing his chest, squeeze his barrel and sit the way you normally do." Peregrine said.

Icari calmed his horse down, and repeated what he did. This time, he gradually slowed down Veil, and halted.

"Better." Peregrine said, "4 points to the Spies. Does anyone else want to practice the halt before we move on?" Peregrine inquired.

Aya smiled guilty as she was holding everyone up. She did what Pip said and Severus halted.

"Alright." Peregrine said. "To move on. The next thing I will be teaching you is how to perform a half halt. Half halts are a way of slowing your horse down, and they are used almost costantly. To half halt, put your hand on the inside rein and give it a squeeze as if you are squeezing peanut butter through your fingers or squeezing the water out of a sponge." Peregrine instructed.
