Halt," Jarod said, shifting the strap from one hand to the other.
"Reverse," Jarod said, tugging on the strap. Spirit cocked one ear forward and one back. He hesitated, paused for a moment, and stomped a hoof on the ground. "Reverse," Jarod repeated in a louder voice. Spirit walked backward a few steps.
When the training session ended, Jarod stroked the horse's neck. Then he released Spirit into a nearby pasture. He strolled over to talk to the twins.
"Do you think you're ready to take charge?" Jarod asked Kwasi.
"I think so," Kwasi said with some hesitation.
"Let's get together after you finish your chores. You can tell me everything you know about caring for horses. We'll see if you are up to the challenge."
When the twins turned eight years old, they started doing chores that included caring for the horses. They mucked the stalls every day to remove manure and lay fresh straw. They neatly hung ropes and checked halters for flexibility. They made sure that brushes, sponges, hoof picks, and sweat scrapers were clean and orderly. They checked the tack room to see that first aid kits and other medical supplies for the horses were in place. They cleaned and organized the horese' tack and equipment. The twins took turns feeding the horses. Sometimes they fed them grains, but usually they fed the horses fresh alfalfa and water.
