A smart precaution, as she is tiny in comparison to the pregnant mare. She grins at him.

"I've worked with ornery animals before," she shrugs. "Been kicked at, my fair share of times. Bucked, once or twice. Even bit."

She's got some right fancy scars to show for it, too. Though, she doesn't plan on adding to the collection today.

She moves cautiously back into Corella's stall, murmuring soft words of comfort as she slowly approaches. The mare's ears are perked to the utterances, though there is a definite stiffness to her stance that shows she's on edge.

It takes some convincing to get the lead on, but Katherine does so without incident. But as she's leading Corella out of the stall, the mare tosses her head suddenly, whinnying in protest.

"Shh, you're all right," she murmurs, not losing her calm. Her gloved hands tighten around the rope ever-so-slightly. "You're all right, baby. Just gonna take you out to some sunshine, where you can graze all by yourself. Take it easy."

Reluctantly, Corella finally consents, clip-clopping slowly out of the stables and into the paddock.
