Three Hands for Scorpio (2011)
“Zolan and Climber had brought in the remainder of the horses and ponies. Three more of the mounts had saddles improvised with materials from the bags as well as bridles woven by Zolan, doubtless products of his day apart.
He drew us, one by one, to a horse and obviously Sent some introduction or order to the animal, giving us also a name he must have selected for each beast.
I was glad that I had chosen not to wear skirts, as we must ride astride on such unfamiliar and surely untrained steeds, ...and women’s garb made a knee grip difficult. The horse he had apportioned to me was a mare, certainly not of high breeding and rather the worse for her wild life, as well. Her rough coat was gray, and her ragged mane held a sprinkling of burrs.
We had already packed what gear we had onto the stoutest-looking ponies. Those impromptu pack-beasts were roped together in a long string and led by each of us, turn and turn about.
Our first goal was the pond Bina had discovered. There we made sure that the water bags were well filled and that the animals drank.MoreLess
