"Yes, that I do. There was one time a child of the day saddled my horse and I slid off due to the fact that the girth wasn't tightened enough. I have preferred to saddle my mounts myself ever since then." Sofia watched as the other woman walked down the row of stables and brought out a gorgeous mare. "She is beautiful your majesty. I would like to see some of her foals if they are still around." Sofia had no doubts that Damona would get jealous if another person rode her. Some horses only took to one rider and one rider only. Or at least one rider that they would behave for.<br/><br/>Sofia set the highly ornate saddle on the edge of the stall while she fetches a bridle and a saddle blanket. Carefully Sofia enter's Black Sheba's stall with the bridle in hand. The mare spots a stranger with a bridle in hand and stomps a hoof in snorts. A part of her beautiful black man floats up then down. To finish her protest she shakes her head as well as letting out a snort. For a moment Sofia holds still, letting the mare calm down again. Quickly but gently she darts forward before Sheba can raise her head up and try to avoid having the bit stuck in her mouth. She shakes her head again, trying to dislodge the bit as she bites at it with her teeth. "My apologies for the cold bit Sheba, but time is of the essence tonight." Sofia tied Black Sheba up before proceeding to saddle her. After making sure everything is fitted properly Sofia waits for Liliana to lead the way to the riding trails. She would mount Black Sheba outside.<br/><br/>Of course Anna wouldn't pass up on a chance to share a good smoke with the Queen. If the king's tobacco smelt wonderful Thothcapel's smelled even better. Anna took a seat about one down from the queen on her majesty's left hand side.
