Ruhuahua was currently experiencing this reality firsthand. The horse was bucking far more violently than she had imagined. It was moving too fast—she felt as though she were about to be tossed off at any second. She lifted her hands to pull the reins tight and shouted "Whoa!" several times.

Realizing this, Ruhuahua felt a sudden chill run through her. She struggled to steady herself, instinctively relaxing her tense legs, gripping the horse’s mane along with the reins, and pressing her body low against the animal's back.
