Eowyn of Rohan

Since she had known him, Luke had wished to learn to ride.  She had asked him several times if he were sure, and if his guardians were sure.  Always had he said he was, and she had believed him, but he was too small by the standards of the stables.  She had been placed on a horse afore she was able to walk, but she knew that this was not common in other lands. 

Now, though, he had grown some, and so he was able to be taught.  She had selected the most gentle of ponies and had brought it out to the fence with the saddle and the bridle and the blanket for the pony's back.  She would teach him all aspects of riding and care, for it was not merely the sitting atop the horse that was important.  She smoothed her hand over the pony's back soothingly as she waited for her lytling to arrive.
