A Girl And Her Horse

Chapter 4

KATIE'S POV:

"Just in time. We were just logging on to Sammie's laptop." I say as Trinity, Marina, Irene, and Abby all walk into the tack room. "Haha, we tend to do that," Trinity says. "I've noticed," Sammie replies. "So... What are we looking for, Sammie?" Marina asks, grabbing a notebook and pen. "A black or roan horse. She should be a good jumper, or trainable, a good dressage horse, obedient, and a good temper." "I thought you wanted a buckskin," Trinity reminds Sammie. "I changed my mind." "Oh, okay." "Anyways," I say, getting people back on track. "We have to look for a black or blue roan horse, good temper, good jumper or trainable, a good dressage horse, and it has to be a mare." "Yes." "Okay, lets start looking." Sammie opens a new tab on Google Chrome and I type in a website. I click enter, and the website pops up. "I like this website, it's pretty cool." Irene observes, "Thanks, I found it when I had to get some things for Nightlight." I respond. "So, I need a bridle, saddle, I have my saddle pads, I need stirrups, stirrup leathers, reins, a bit, but we can see what type of bit the horse needs when we meet her, and I got all the medical stuff, I have hoof oil, I have all the wraps and boots in the correct color, I have just about everything except a saddle bridle and the accessories for them." Sammie says, listing what she has and what she needs. "Okay, well we can get a saddle off of Dover, we can get the stirrups and stirrup leathers there too. We will have to contact the owner and see what type of bridle the horse needs when we find one." I say, turning back to the website and searching up 'Black or blue roan Mare for sale, well rounded.' I click the 'Search' button and multiple pages of black or blue roan mares pop up. "Marina, hand me that notebook please." Sammie says, Marina hands her the notebook and Sammie flips a page, and writes down a title. Probably something like 'horses that interest me' or something. I click on the first image and it opens a page. "Well-rounded mare, trained, black, willing, not a good temper, bites, has a foal, im not gonna finish this one." "Yeah, I don't like her already." "Me neither." "Next!" I click the next picture, and a blue roan mare pops up. "Okay, this is a blue roan mare, she is a good jumper, trained, good dressage horse, trainable, willing. But, she does bite, she has no foal records, and shes 5." "No way." "Alright, next. Starlight Shores, specializes in all eventing events, she is a black mare, 9 years old, good- tempered, no foals, willing, trainable if needed, she has had only two past owners, a six year old, and a 24 year old, she has not completed her training, since she learns new things with every rider, not afraid of anything including water, cows, cars, bikes, loud noises, other horses, and she looks best in lilac." "Hey lilac is part of my colors! Starlight Shores sounds really good. We will have to call this owner." "Definitely." Sam scribbles down the name Starlight Shores, and says, "Okay, lets keep going."
~~~~~~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~~~~~
"Guys it's been three hours and the best horses we've found for Sammie are Starlight Shores, Flower's Secret, Black Sands, and Midnights Moon." Irene states. "Well, we've got four... let's take a break and tell Kay what we've found." Trinity suggests, "Good idea. We can try again tomorrow. Everyone try looking at different websites tonight." I say, closing Sammie's laptop and opening the tack room door for the other girls. "Thanks Katie." "No problem." I say, as the other girls and I walk out, and walk over to Kay. "Hey girls," "Hi Kay, so we've found some horses and we would like to tell you about them." "Okay, well, lets do this in the tack room, where we can sit." "Okay." We all follow Kay into the tack room and take our seats.

~~~~~~~IRENES POV~~~~~~~~
"Okay girls, let me see what you've got." "Okay," Sammie says, handing Kay the notebook. "Well, I see that you have four horses, all mares. Two of them blue roan, and the other two black." "Yes," "They all seem like very nice horses. Let's give them a call and see when we can meet the horses." "I think they're all at the same barn." "Which barn?" Sam hesitated, not knowing which barn. "I cant remember, but the number is on the paper." "Okay, Sam," "Yes?" "How about you give the number a call, and then we can set up a date for us to all go down there." "Okay, good idea." "Well? What are you waiting for? Give the number a call!" "Oh! Right." Sam takes out her phone and dials the number as Kay reads the number. "Hello? Hi, yes, uh I'm calling to see if I could purchase one of your horses. What days are available to have myself and a few friends come down?" We hear a few words here and there. "Mhm, okay, thank you. Yes, we will be down on Monday. Okay, bye!" "So?" "We are taking a field trip to Florida!" "Oh my gosh yay!!" "Thats awesome! When?" "Friday afternoon." "So three days," Trinity said. "Yup!" Sam says, then continuing. "So we will get there Friday night, and check out horses on Monday which leaves Saturday and Sunday to have some fun." "Sweet, what are we gonna do though?" I ask. "It's Florida! We'll figure that put when we get there, but for now, Marina do you mind making reservations at a hotel in Florida? Somewhere near the barn 'Sunshine Acres'?" "Sure, Sam." Marina says and goes upstairs to be able to talk to the clerk. We all turn to Kay, "Kay?" "Yes?" "Are you coming with us?" "Yes. I can't let you girls have all the fun!"
