We all go to the stables and Trent, Lilly, Jenny, Patrick, Cody, Zack, Maddie, Liam, Noah, Sam, Dylan and Corbyn go to get the horses.

Trent is on Archie

Lilly is on Buttercup

Jenny is on Coco

Patrick is on Scott

Cody is on Milo

Zack is on Charlie

Maddie is on Fairy

Liam is on Stiles

Noah is on Bob

Sam is on Little Bear

Dylan is on Benny

Corbyn is on Betty

We all tack up our horses. Corbyn and I tighten the girths. They are padded, so no girth galls. We all put on our high-vis and then get on.

Jim looks a bit nervous.

Alice - Don't be nervous, I'll walk with you.

Jim - Thanks.

Corbyn - Alice, do you want me to be at the front?

Alice - Ok, right. The order, I'll put you all in pairs... Ok Trent with Sam, Lilly with Dylan, Jenny with Maddie, Patrick with Liam, Corbyn with Noah and finally Zack with Cody.

They get in their pairs

Alice - Corbyn with Noah at the front, then everyone else in the middle and Jim and I will be at the back

We start riding and we start walking to our riding trail. Jim and I talk the whole time.

Alice - So what made you start the baking business?

Jim - My father started it. I just continued the tradition. I talked to him about my choice. He's come to see how we all work. He was very happy with your work. How much time and deltail you put into your work.

Alice - Aww.

Jim - It was actually both our ideas to promote you.

Alice - Aww, baking is just one of my passions.

Jim and I continue blabbing on. Jim has always wanted to teach teenagers only because he wants them to feel less of the stress. He wants them to feel school is a safe place. He just wishes he had something like that when he was in high school.

We finish our ride and everyone untacks and grooms their horses. We feed them and feed the other horses in the paddocks. Corbyn packs his things and goes home.
