Grace did in fact try to control her fear. She tried to get the worried look off her face. She tried to control herself, she didn't want Phantom to grow weary of her, though she did have a fear of being thrown off the horse. She calmed herself down enough as she slowly trotted the horse around Jared and then towards the fields, and then back once more. The horse seemed to know that she was in control, though her hands didn't let go of the horses neck area once. Even the best of riders got worried at times.
"I know, I know horses are testy animals, and you can't get close to some. But Phantom he just needed someone to control him. Someone for him to trust." Grace replied, Now she was ready to get off the horse again. She figured it was enough for her to ride him. It was enough for the day. She had worked through her one wall that she had up at the moment.
Grace did feel a bit odd as she was bareback, the saddle was more of a reassuring for her. It was one that she loved to have. Though she knew with Phantom, that the use of the saddle would have to come much later. She did have a potentional to go places. So did her horse, well she figured it would take time and patience something that Grace did have.
When he told her she looked perfectly fine, a small smile formed on her lips. She had to hide it though and put a more determined look on her face instead. She didn't want Phantom to grow nervous, she didn't want Jared to know that his talking was working and giving her confidence. She didn't. She finally brought the horse back over towards Jared and then slowly got herself off of him. Her hand slowly went onto the horses body, petting him gently to cool him down. "Let's get you brushed Phantom, you'll like that. It will cool you off a bit."
