Arriving a little early, before either Batman or Michael, she'd missed coming here. Granted, they'd been very busy and she'd been sick, but today was a good day -- and an even better day for visiting with the horses and riding.

She'd given Batman the coordinates here, with Michael probably arriving after that. And they couldn't ask for a better day, either: sunny, balmy, and just enough of a breeze to keep them comfortable.

Walking over to the paddock with a bucket of apples and carrots, she climbs the fence to sit and visit with the horses for a while before the others join her.

"Thanks again, for everything!"

"I'll make sure to. Assuming I can actually figure out what I'm doing here, that is. But once we get the routine down..."

"You're very welcome!" Ellie leads the guys out to the paddock, turning to look at Batman as she settles the saddle on Bucky's back as if to say, 'like this.'

Taking the bridle, she fits the bit into Bucky's mouth first, and then adjusts it to fit around his head. Once in place, she arranges the reins half way up his neck while she works on saddling him. Reaching under his belly, she grabs the girth strap and buckles it in place. She gives the stirrups a once over, and they're the right length for her already -- even better!

"You ready for some help?"

"Definitely." He thinks he might have gotten a general idea of what to do, but better to see it done once up close before he tried anything on his own.

Next time, though, he's gonna saddle of these things on his own.
