Jenny sighed and shifted into action, moving on instinct alone, letting her horse do most of the work.

Ziva circled the head of at least 50 steers and pushed them back towards the farm. Most of them would be going to aution, bringing in alot if the annual input for the place.
One of the younger steers thought he would try his luck alone, darting out the side, making a break back the way they had come. Ziva smirked, not needing to tell Bailey what her need to do. They cut off the calf, keeping with him as he tired to pass them.
Ziva sat still in the saddle, letting Bailey think for himself. They darted back and forth, and the calf gave up, running back to the herd. Ziva followed him, grinning like a wild thing as she moved back to help Jenny.

Jenny smirked across at her as she rode, relaxing into the pace, keeping the gorup moving, giving a sigh as a second calf tried to split off, both woman and horse making their movem cutting him off and pushing him back into group.
"Seems we got some smart-asses."

Ziva laughed. "They'll soon learn." Ziva said, watching as the herd settled down, relaxing in the morning sun. Ziva soon began to muck around, lying down over Bailey's back, head resting on his rump.

Ziva nodded, moving from Bailey's back, to lying over his neck, hands clasped near his chest. "Yep." She replied casually, smiling.

"Yeah, I'm lucky." Ziva replied, flexing her feet in the stirrups, hearing her ankles crack. She wrinkled her nose unhappily. "I need new boots." She muttered.

"Really?" Asked Ziva excitedly. Money wasn't something she had alot of, being so far down the food chain on the ranch. And new boots were an expensive treat.

"Wouldn't say it other Ziva." Jenny laughed. "Besides, I don't need 4 pairs."

"Maybe." Jenny teased. "Or maybe I like knowing I can save them up."
