I`ll do anything for cats!

SGS Violet Thunderbolt 5 [link] and Ervin Leery [link] having training session at Blue Rosenlake Stable [link]

Thunderbolt allways had some kind of tenderness towards cats, but not that way, really...
Quick story.
Leery took his mighty mount for a training session. Obstacles were not that high, the weather was calm and chill in a good way. Nothing was promising troubles.
Thunder was very calm and his obedience was just fantastic. Stallion was willing to work and Leery could just relax, sitting there on the back.
Time was going to an end and there were only two obstacles that were planned to be cleared.
Ervin turned his horse to one of them in slow, steady canter. Then, suddenly, when Thunder just got speed up and Ervin pushed him to jump, stallion got too much on the right, performing almost puissance jump over the high part of obstacle, that was not designed to be jumped above.
Ervin, stayed in saddle just because of his reaction and a bit of lucky magic, looked down and saw a cat, that was calmly licking it`s furry butt, while sitting just behind the obstacle.
Ervin "survived" the harsh impact after the high jump, but was amused by his stallion`s beheavor.
Well, at least Thunder showed himself just as truly irish person.
