In Tripp Lake, Lauren Slater describes how a nine year old must face the things in life that she dislikes. From her parents recent divorce, Lauren attends a girl camp in Poland, Maine where she finds that the happiest moments are right near her. She meets another girl at the camp where she finds out that a journey is right in front of her.
I think on page 244, the author was saying that this girl who was riding the horse was very good with her expressions of fear and excitement. I think by that was being said, she wanted the readers to get a vivid image of the girl riding while Lauren was watching with amazement and fear. The balance of mastery could mean that she doesn't know what to expect when a horse is riding and by keeping a straight face with these features showed that she was ready for anything that was going to happen.
I think "way forward" meant that Lauren was happy with what she has learned with the new thing of horse riding and the fact that she can realize that she can move forward with her life knowing she did something that she felt made her realize that going to camp was not in vain and that she can enjoy herself from the things that she learned.
