First up were Ken and Jasper, while Willow and Jiana took the adjacent riding ring. The four of them were cautious, moving carefully to avoid startling the horses and injuring anyone. It was more of a trial experience than a real ride.


    Jiana, who had always been afraid ofrge, furry animals, forced herself to get on the horse, not wanting viewers to call her dramatic. But every time the horse made a slightlyrger movement, her face contorted in fear, a stark contrast to her usual "Queen of cking Off" persona. Her reactions provided plenty ofic relief.


    Willow, initially uninterested, found herself actually enjoying it. Still, she didn''t dare ride for too long and dismounted after about ten minutes.


    Next, it was time for Yates, Jimmie, Ynda, and Juniper.


    Having filmed historical dramas before, Jimmie vaulted onto his horse in one


    smooth motion and expertly gathered the reins.

    [“OMG, Jimmie is Jimmie for a reason! So handsome!"]


    ["That move to get on the horse was so slick, I''m swooning."]


    [“Jimmie yed a general before, right? He spent half a month in a training camp for that role. The man can actually ride!"]


    ["Jimmie is truly in a league of his own in this industry."]


    "I''ll just ride around on my own," Jimmie told the trainer. He then nudged his horse into a gentle walk over to Juniper. "If you''re worried, I can take you with me."


    "No need." Juniper circled her own horse, stretching her stiff neck. "I want to try it myself," she said casually. She wanted to test her skills. It had been a while since she''dst ridden, and she wondered if she was rusty.


    "Alright," Jimmie smiled. "Be careful."


    "I''ll try on my own, too," Yates chimed in, not wanting to be outdone now that Jimmie was riding solo.


    "Ah," the trainer hesitated, smiling awkwardly. "Mr. Garner, this horse can be a bit wild. Jimmie has experience, but it might not be safe for you since you''re a beginner."


    Yates''s brow furrowed. He had wanted to show off in front of Juniper, but now his chance was gone. Under the staff''s supervision, he was led to the side, holding the reins.


    "My turn," Ynda announced,


    stepping forward proudly, her


    moment to shine finally here. Before the trainer could even speak, she swung herleg gracefully over the saddle and settled onto the horse''s back. She nced at the other guests and saw that all the men


    were watching her. She loved being the center of attention.


    "Ms. Payne, please be careful."


    Before the session, the director had spoken to the trainer assigned to Juniper, exining her childhood trauma and telling him to be extra attentive.


    "Don''t be afraid, Ms. Payne. I''ll be right here to protect you," the trainer said gently.


    "Why don''t you go help protect Juniper?" Ynda said, lifting her chin haughtily with an air of charity. "I''ll be fine on my own over here."


    "Okay.” The trainer walked over to Juniper, and now two of them were nking her.


    Juniper nced at the two trainers but said nothing as she nimbly climbed onto her horse.


    The trainers exchanged a confused look. Ms. Payne''s movements didn''t seem like those of a beginner. At all.


    "Let''s go, Juniper. I''ll show you the ropes," Ynda called out, putting on a show of being kind and thoughtful for the cameras. It was a live broadcast, so Juniper wouldn''t dare do anything to her. Plus, with a little luck, this could get them both wou ould be Something like: *Actor''s Sister Takes a Nasty Fall.* Or, if things went really well, *Broken Arm and a Broken Leg, Perhaps.*


    trending. The headline


    With that thought, Ynda tightened her grip on the reins and deliberately guided


    her horse closer to Juniper''s.
