Sorrow, Love, Hope, and Horses

Sunset Ranch

After what felt like five hours, we stopped. He opened the trunk and lifted me out. By

then I had pealed the tape off my mouth.

" do you really have a gun in there" I snapped at him.

" if you tell anyone that you will be dead by morning. Is that clear?"

" crystal"

" now if you follow that path you will get yo the ranch and now goodbye I hope you get

trampled by a horse." He said a he slammed his door shut and sped off. I walked down

the path to find a beautiful golden barn with white boarders. I walked up to the house

next to the barn and a person that looked about 34 opened the door after I knocked.

" you must be Genevive." She said. " welcome to Sunset Ranch. I'm Cora,Follow me."

We walked into the barn and saw lots of stalls without horses in them. Then we walked

outside and saw tons of horses in different pastures.

" will I be riding at all here?? " I asked.

" oh my, will you?? Yes!!! You will be riding whenever you want. I will assign you a

horse or pony to ride and be yours until you leave here." She explained. " oh Blair, come

over here for a second."

A girl with shoulder length, black hair came over to us. " hi" she said. " I'm Blair."

" hi I'm Genevive."

" ok Blair, will you go bring Magic in and put her in her stall please." Cora said.

"Ok." Blair said " you'll like her" she said as she walked by.

A few minutes later I was walking out to the barn in tan breeches and a white polo shirt.

I was wearing tall black shiny boots and had a helmet in my hands. I have to say it. I

looked adorable. I walked into the barn and saw Cora standing next to a cute cream and white pony with tons and tons of hair on the feet. It's white shiny mane was super long.

" Genevive meet Magic. She is a mini gypsy vanner." Cora said

" why does she have lots of hair on her feet?" I asked.

" that is called feathers." Cora said. " ok let's tack up"

I first have to groom her so I use the curry comb and go in circles over her whole body. Then I stroke her with the body brush and the dandy brush. I pick out her hooves after that and then brush her mane. We go get a small black saddle and bridle that fits Magic. She has her own locker with a saddle and bridle rack in it. I also can put the grooming kit in it along with any thing else I want. I buckle my helmet and prepare to mount her.

" Genevive wait until I get back to mount her" Cora said as she jogged up to the house to get a hat.

" get on her" a cold voice says behind me. I jump around. A kid that looks my age is standing their. He has brown eyes with blond hair. " well are you?"

" no. Cora said I can't get on until she says." I said back.

" Oh come on. Who cares what Cora says."

" I do" I am mad now. " why are you here if you don't listen to what Cora says?"

" cause I can" he states coldly" and I will."

" your so mean"

" have fun falling off chicken" he says as he storms off.
