Calypso's POV
It's always exciting tow work with Thundercat. Especially when I am not the one training her usually. Usually it's my younger sister Athena who works her. BUT Athena got the flu, and so I suddenly have two more horses to work with!
These days Mom and Momma are babysitting my niece Silva. Mostly because my big brother Will will begin working here at Briarwood Oaks, and he needs someone to take my clingy niece sometimes. So even if Mom and Momma are busy they can always do the instructing with little Silva on their arm.
That little kid has always been interested in horses, and so she was today as well. Momma Feline brought her over to Thundercat and me, when I had finished my round of training.
"I wanna do what Auntie does!" The small girl squealed while reaching out for Thundercat.
Feline's eyes met mine, and I just nodded. After all Thundercat is a mostly calm mare, so having a small toddler on her back would be a small feat.
"Let's go get your helmet, shall we?" Feline said as Silva pressed a sloppy kiss to her grandma's cheek.
Soon after they were back. Or Silva was at least. Feline had some things to do, so Mom Hera was with the little girl now wearing a helmet.
"Up up!" she laughed as I lifted her onto Thundercat's back and into the saddle.
I was of course holding the reins at all times, while Mom walked by Silva's side making sure she didn't fall off.
After that short 'pony-ride' she wanted her dad, and Will was more than willing to take over his daughter, so she could have a nap in the staff room while everyone else was working.
Afterwards, while grooming Thundercat I talked to mom. She was still talking about opening up for lessons - possibly aqquiering a few lesson horses/ponies - and of course I supported her on that.
