Blair watched her step mother deftly mound her horse and begin to walk the gelding around. Blair extended their legs a little and pushed the horse into a faster trot. "It's a shame we don't play polo up here, I'm told it's basically quidditch on horseback." Blair made a sweeping motion with their arm as if hitting a hammer across the ground. It was a brilliant game which the young seeker could not wait to get back in to in the autumn.
