"Y..yeah when I was 13 I use to ride them all the time." Her hands were shaking and he could smell the fear she was feeling. "Okay that's a good start. I want you to climb up on my back just like you would with them. I know I know I don't have a mane, but i want you to squeeze with your legs, don't worry about hurting me, and you can hold on with your arms either by my frills or by wrapping your arms around my neck. When you are ready let me know okay. We will take this as slowly as we can. But as soon as it gets to deep for me to walk I will be swimming as quickly as I can across with as few dunks under as possible. Okay?"<br/><br/>He could understand that with this she would need to take it slowly across. He could more then feel her fear. He knew this was probably going to be the biggest test of faith or courage she has ever felt. Stepping close to her he looked into her eyes before pressing his head against her cheek. "It's going to be okay. You are the bravest person I know. I know you can do this."<br/><br/>Turning so his side is facing her, he lay down on the ground. All she needs to do is climb up onto his back and hold on.
