Open post: Calvary Combat

[Welcome to Calvary Combat class! The first thing you might notice is that your teacher is making no effort to keep you here. If you want to ditch, go ahead. She’s not going to waste her time teaching people who aren’t interested.

Now, if you've decided you want to stick around, she will gather you all up in a group.]

Right. I’m guessing we have a lot of different skill levels here, so I’m gonna divide you up. I don't want to stick a sword in your hand before you can even get on a horse.

[ooc: Threadjack all you want, move around, add sections if there’s other stuff you can think of. Go nuts on this post, guys. Sections: Riding, fighting, hanging out with the animals, slackers. Also, I may or may not be a bit slow, bear with me.]

[Phoenix has only ever seen a horse in person a couple of times, and has certainly never ridden one, so he's at the cavalry training in the hopes of learning to look impressive and amazing on horseback.

Yep.

He stands staunch and bold and waves determinedly at the horses from a safe distance.]

Hi, horses! Let's do this.

[Just...give her a moment to laugh. Because she's going to do that first.

Then she'll approach and hand him a sugar cube.]

This might help a bit.

What? Oh--right, horses like sugar, don't they? Thanks....

[He takes the cube and inches up to one of the horses. Although he's not exactly afraid of them, they are a little intimidating.]

Here... horsey...?
