The next morning I woke up to find that Bella and Max must have went downstairs. I showered and got dressed. It's Saturday so I could do pretty much anything all day. I decided to make breakfast thinking my parents might be asleep.
When I got downstairs I saw everyone but Connor up and making breakfast.
"Morning everyone." I yawned and sat down.
"G'morning sleepy head." Dad said.
I stuck my tongue out at him playfully and asked where Connor was.
"Oh he's still sleeping." Mom added then turned back to the French toast. Bella started giggling out of no where.
"What's so funny-"
"BAH!" I jumped and fell off my chair and saw that Connor was the one behind me.
"Why does everyone like scaring me so much?" I said getting up and glaring at Connor as everybody sat down to eat.
"Because you're so fun to scare. You should have seen your face." Max said holding a phone.
"Are you recording-" I asked.
"Yes I am and it is great." He said grinning and putting his phone away.
"You're mean." I said before eating, now glaring at Max.
Max, Bella and I finished eating and made our way to the stables.
"We have to groom the horses today, I'll groom Jack, my dad's horse, while you guys groom Snow, my mom's horse."
"Alright, what are each of the brushes used for?"
"Well, there are four main ones we'll use, so I'll describe those ones." I pulled out a curry comb and went over to Snow.
"This is a curry comb, I usually use it on her stomach area," I said while pointing to her underbelly and sides of her stomach,"her back, neck, and upper legs." I gestured to each part as I described the areas. "We do not use it on the lower legs since that can damage or harm their legs." I started grooming Snow to show them how to use the curry comb.
"When you use it, you go in circles against their hair. It helps all the dirt come up for you to brush away with," I grabbed the hard brush."the hard brush. This is used in the same areas as the curry comb. But with this you go along with the hair. This and the soft brush are both fun to use, it's satisfying to see the dirt come up." I said showing them what I mean. Then I went and grabbed the soft brush.
"Anyway, this is the soft brush. The only difference between the two are that, one, the soft brush is, well, soft while the hard brush is hard. And the second difference is that the soft brush can do everything the hard brush can, but with two places added, the face and the lower legs." I grab the mane and tail brush.
"This is the brush for the mane and tail. You probably already know how to use this since it's pretty simple. Start from the bottom then work your way up." I showed them what I meant and then let them finish grooming Snow while I groomed Jack.
"Oh, and one more thing, when you go to the other side of a horse, either press yourself against the horse, with your hand on the lower back to let them know it's you, then walk to the other side. Or you can go about 3-4 feet away from the horse and walk to the other side." They nodded and said they understand.
A few minutes later Bella came up to me and asked me about a certain tool only I use.
"What's this tool?" I stopped grooming Jack and walked over to Bella.
"Oh, only I use that tool. It's a hoof pick. I use it to help the horses get rocks and other stuff out of their hooves. I'll come afterwards and use it for Snow's hooves after I'm done with Jack." She said okay and walked back to Snow.
About twenty minutes later we finished grooming the horses and walked back to the house.
"You guys done with grooming already?" I noticed that mom, Connor and dad were sitting at the table with frowns on their faces, on Connor's, the worst.
"Yeah, uh, is everything ok?" I gave them a worried look.
My father cleared his throat and put on what I could tell was a fake smile. "Yes, hun, everything is okay." I gave them a fake smile back. I knew they couldn't tell it was fake because they actually smiled. Guess I'm good at faking.
"Okay, I'm going to take Bella and Max to bedroom." I started walking upstairs when I heard mom whisper something to Connor. Something extraordinary.
