[ The cabin fever hasn't been as bad as he might've anticipated, the constant events usually offering enough of a change of scenery to distract from the fact that everyone lives, works and plays in the same giant mansion. Still, he's been here over a year now, and he's got to get out occasionally.
Hence the riding. Joel has just enough experience with horses to keep from completely embarrassing himself trying to ride one, and he figures there's always room for a little more practice.
Unfortunately, it seems he'd overestimated even his own humble skill. The horse he'd approached in the stable today has more spirit to it than the ones he'd ridden before, and it's fighting every effort he makes to saddle up. As Robyn walks in, Joel's dodging what could have been a nasty kick, ducking his head and holding up a hand in surrender. ]
