“Careful there, Hoss.” Jason grabbed the boy by the arm and smiled at the gap-toothed kid. “You can’t be like Jell-O. You’ve got to keep your back straight without being stiff and keep your arms tucked to your side. No spaghetti arms, okay?” The boy nodded and Jason smiled again. The kid was shaking like a sapling in a storm. “What’s your name?” Jason adjusted the stirrups and then fixed the reins in the kid’s hands. He had probably asked the kid his name three times, but eventually it would stick. “Bobby.” “Well, Bobby, this is Cheerio. She’s a pretty good little horse and she’s never thrown anyone. The two of you are going to be good friends.” “Okay.” “But you have to breathe a little, okay? ’Cause if you pass out, you’re gonna fall off.” “Okay.” Jason led the boy to the arena where four other kids were already walking their horses around the perimeter of the enclosure. He gave the horse a little pat on the rump, the boy jumped and the horse took off at a sedate walk.
