The Never Ending Quest - Episode 41265

As Astra approached the horse, he tossed his head, put his ears back and
bared his teeth. "Easy, boy," Astra said, as gently and reassuringly as
she could.
Her calm tone seemed to have an effect, for Mercury allowed her to come up next to him without any further demonstration of hostility on his part, though she could tell that he was still nervous. She continued to talk to him, as she stroked his coat, wishing that she had a carrot to offer. Though she was a tall woman, he was quite a big horse, so mounting him would have presented a problem but for a piece of good fortune. Some bales of hay had been left for him to feed on, and one of them was in just the right place next to the horse to assist her. From standing on it, she was able to vault onto the horse's back. As soon as she had done so, all hell broke loose.
