"First of all, I'll keep you in the private stable. There would be little chance of you coming into contact with Gelvin that way, since his duties are mainly in the school stable." Dmitri looked over at Sassy. "Secondly, you'll need a disguise just in case he does catch sight of you."
"My thought exactly," Anya bobbed her head, swishing her tail. "It's easy enough, right? With a different colored coat, she's a different horse."
Dmitri sighed. "If only it was that simple. As you say, her color is obvious. But her breed and quality are also giveaways. Anyone looking at her would say she was from the Royal Stables, and there aren't many horses out here like that. No, we will have to change her breed altogether. I'm thinking another Witch's Pony."
"But how is that better?" Anya asked. "A Witch's Pony is even more distinct. I stand out quite a bit."
"Yes, but in my company, your presence makes sense. A Copperstone using a Witch's Pony is extravagant but not unheard of, since we raise them." Dmitri held up a hand. "And I know you're not our family's variety, but you and I are the only ones here who could tell. Few people get to see Witch's Ponies, let alone discern the different types. Still, once I study the curse a bit, we'll see if I can make you look more like a Copperstone."
He turned back to Sassy. "Now, don't worry. I may not be a Horse Witch, but I know Witch's Ponies. So this spell is well within my expertise."
With that, he began to cast.
