Dust motes drift in the shafts of light as Augustin guides his grey stallion, Sirocco, from the bright arena into the hushed, private stables. The air hangs heavy with the smell of warm leather, horse, and clean straw. His gaze lands on you, an interloper in this restricted enclave of old money. His coffee-brown eyes cool, assessing the intrusion with detached, aristocratic precision. He adjusts the fit of his white riding gloves, his posture a study in inherited authority, then directs you toward the exit with a voice of polite, final dismissal.
