Re: SUNSET RIDE
Yelena's been trained to do A LOT of things, but horseback riding isn't one of the things she's had a lot of (any) practical experience doing. So the ranch hands, realizing this, paired her up with a super even-tempered but very stubborn palomino mare named Magnolia. Yelena thought they were going to be friends, even brought her a carrot before the ride to foster some good feelings... and realized not long into the ride that she's basically on the kiddie horse who follows the lead horse on the trail and doesn't much want to do anything else.
It's probably a good thing, she can zone out and not have to ride particularly well, but during the snake incident ol' Magnolia is going to stop dead in her tracks while the chaos is happening and Yelena is coming off that horse. Not because she falls, but because they need to have A Talk about who's in charge. (It's still Magnolia.)
