"Wow, that's unbelievable. Amazing," Tristan said. He grinned.
"How about I propose that we go on a ride, miss? I'll hitch up--" Tristan's eyes fell to the nameplate outside the stall. "--Goldie? Well, I'll hitch up Goldie here to the carriage and we can take a short ride around the neighborhood. Would that be all right with you, miss?"

Tia furrowed her brow thoughtfully. "How about...separately?" she proposed shyly. "I think I remember how to saddle a horse... I will saddle this horse, here and you, that one over there," Tia said pointing to the gray horse a few stalls away.
"What do you say?" she asked excitedly.

"I say, let's do this. Would you like me to bring out a saddle and a bridle for you also, miss?" Tristan asked.

"No, no. I've got it," she said smiling, getting the things herself and saddleing her horse.
'I guess I do remember...' She thought to herself.

"All right then, miss." Tristan went into the tack room and came out with his hands full with equipment. As he put on the horse's saddle and bridle, he would, at times, steal a glance in the direction of the young woman behind him.
When Tristan was done saddling up Pegasus, he walked over to the woman and asked, "Are you ready to ride, miss?"

((Oh cr*p...ok, I've got it. It's side saddle for her, k? ;D))
Tia smiled brightly and nodded. She then gracefully climbed onto the horse's back, adjusting herself a bit to make herself as comfortable as possible on the side-saddle.
Tia took hold of the reins then gently kicked the horse's side to get it moving. She kept her back straight and her posture as good as possible. She glanced back at Tristan who was close behind her but quickly turned back as she felt herself blush a little.
Facing forward again, she moved her horse into a gallop, hearing nothing but feeling and seeing everything around her: the wind rustling through her hair and the hooves beneath her, the trees passing by her and the tall grass just a few feet away from her...

Tristan followed on his horse just behind Tia. He could not help staring at her; she was just so...
"Beautiful," Tristan murmured under his breath. It was then that the young man realized he did not even know the woman's name. Stupid idiot, he thought to himself.
Tristan rode up to Tia and called out, "Miss!"

(("I'm doing everything all wrong Oh God, for shame I do not even know your name Dear Mad'moiselle Won't you say? Will you tell?"
Ooh. Do it. I dare you to. ;D))

Tia turned because she felt his presence beside her. She slowed down her animal and smiled at him.
Sensing something a bit off, she furrowed her brow. "Is there something wrong?" she asked.

"I am afraid, miss, that in all the excitement, I forgot to make a proper introduction. I am Tristan Leroy."
Tristan managed to make as graceful a bow as he could atop a walking horse.

Tia studied his lips for a moment...
"Tristan...?" she repeated slowly. "Is that right?"
"I'm Tatiana, my friends call me Tia," She said sweetly.

((I keep writing Jake instead of Tristan. His name is Tristan. Not Jake. Tristan.))
"Tia. Tia..." Tristan repeated. "A beautiful name to go with a beautiful woman."

((Hehehe! I keep typing Liv! )) Tia smiled shyly and dropped her head to hide her scarlet cheeks. She lifted her head and looked around her: the scenrey picture perfect. As she continued to ride she noticed, just ahead of her, a small pond. "Would you like to stop there for a while?" she asked.

"Whatever pleases you, Miss Tia," Tristan replied, never taking his eyes off of hers.
