Finn shrugged. "I've spent most of my life having my every move carefully monitored and reported on, I figured that I could turn the tables." He replied. "And I have a camera with a really good zoom. And a little blackmail comes in handy every now and then." Not here, but out in the real world, it worked wonders if someone found out something you didn't want anyone else to know.
He arched and eyebrow. "You mean cross country, dressage and show jumping?" He inquired. "Eventing is all three disciplines; split into one or three day events. Me? I'm all about flying!! I'm primarily trained in eventing, because that's what all the big names do, but I love jumping; be it with precision in an arena or flat out across a cross country course." The freedom of flight was what he loved about gymnastics too, so he guessed it made sense that he'd love soaring over fences on a horse too.

Being able to spy on people would be useful. Reese wasn't so sure on how he would be able to use spying in a beneficial way for him here, but he could have used it back home easily. Maybe it would have helped him, and he wouldn't have ended up here. He could have avoided the lifestyle he had started. Though, he honestly didn't mind selling drugs. He met some interesting people. And he would probably go back to it, too, if he had the chance. He made a lot of money doing it. Money that his mom and brother needed back home. He wasn't making any money by being at a boarding school. "That's kinda different," Reese said, intrigued by the thought. Maybe he would have to get to know this boy, after all.
He shrugged, not at all embarrassed that he got it wrong. "Sure, I don't know," he said. "I'm not much of a horse-show person. I've trained, and rode horses, but this lifestyle is completely different from where I'm from." He admitted more than he had expected to. "I can ride fairly well, but the names of things don't come as easily to me," he said.

Finn shrugged. "I've never been one to err on the side of caution." He said with a smirk, and that was something that had irked his father more the man would like, but it was normally the only way that Finn could show that he wasn't some prize pony to be paraded around.
He snorted. "Then welcome to a whole new world." He said with arched eyebrows. "I can assure you that if your cockiness in the saddle is anything like the way you play pool, it's going to be an interesting remainder of the year." And he almost regretted the fact that he and his horses would be leaving this summer.
