[ Hunkered down as she is, Ami can't really see what's going on, and for a few tense seconds, it's relatively quiet. She can hear a small commotion, the rustling of grass, Kieran's voice, soft and indistinct... but she doesn't hear gunshots or screams or anything, and that's probably a good sign.
And then she hears Eavan's frightened whinny, cutting through the quiet. And if she heard it that clearly, then...
Still, she doesn't dare move or peek - until she hears hoofbeats coming toward her. Cautiously, she raises her head, and there's Branwen, and Kieran's shouting to ride him to the barn, and oh dear that horrible monster is a lot closer than she expected -
Oh geez oh god oh man. Ami scrambles to her feet and reaches for Branwen - he overshoots her at first, but then circles back, because he is a very good pony indeed. Fortunately, he's small enough that she can actually get on his back without a stirrup to climb, but then she blanks on how to make him go - wait, no, you kick with your heels, like so! ]
Hyah- ack!
[ It works! Branwen starts running again, and Ami almost loses her balance, but then leans forward, clutching at his neck. They're now headed in the general direction of the barn, but she has no idea how to steer a horse without reins.

Be safe, Kieran and Eavan...! ]
