[ The instructions are easier said than done, of course. Off go Ciri and Nixie, and Poppy's ears perk up, mare happy to follow when directed. It still takes a bit of pressure, both in seat and legs; Rinwell's not about to sit on horseback flapping her legs uselessly - that had been day one, much to her embarrassment.
