Love You Anyway - Luke Combs
3rd Person POV
"I get that you're still fuming over what happened yesterday, so what better to forget that practice...by more practicing!" Nash explains, pushing his cousin into their home arena.
"Ash. i appreciate you, really do, favorite cousin. But that was probably the dumbest thing i've ever heard come out of your mouth." George grumbled, Nash chuckled as he finally let the shorter go.
"Come on Geo, think about it, actually don't. It's whatever.."
Nash sticks two fingers in his mouth and whistles. As if they practiced this, Tommy comes pulling in a beautiful horse, Electric grey with white spots here and there. It clicks in George's brain, Nash is going to teach the man how to ride, or Re-teach?
"You seriously expect me to get on that?" George deadpanned.
"Come on George, you don't remember Merlin?" Nash asked, running his hands through the silver mane.
"Merlin? the wizard?" George laughed, who would name a horse Merlin.
"I was six years old." Nash fought back rosy cheeks, Tommy snickered at his brother's expression. Merlin is Nash's horse, hence why he got to name the stallion, He could've been a rodeo horse if Nash was to enter, but the coach would rather stick to teaching than competing.
"Hurry gogy get going! or i'll toss you up on that saddle myself, don't think i didn't hear you call Nash your favorite!" Tommy yelps.
"Is it safe? i should probably wrap myself in bubble wrap.." George mumbled, was he going to back out? sure horses are far less scary than bulls, but they can cause some serious damage.
"Merlin is the calmest here, nothing can go wrong George." Nash insists, George nods and places one foot on the stirrup and grips the horn cap before pulling himself up and flinging his other leg over and into the other stirrup.
"there you go, looks like someone still got it!" Nash claps as Tommy hands George the reins.
"okay, take Merlin for a walk around the arena, once i see you got the hang of it i'll shout out the next Gaits." Nash makes a clicking noise and Merlin is moving with the reins, George freaks out a bit but calms as they're just walking.
George does one full circle around the arena with Merlin before he hears Nash yell out 'Trot!'
The brit mumbles curse words as he lightly taps the stirrups against Merlin and now he's going at a faster pace, speedwalking you could say.
They take another lap around and George can't lie and say he wasn't having fun because this is probably the most fun he had in a while, he completely forgot about yesterday as he makes a clicking sound, giving Merlin the signal to start Cantering, Nash didn't even give the command but George was getting back into the groove, it was like it never left, just put on hold.
The brunette could hear is cousins whopping and hollering for him as he and Merlin ascend into a gallop, speeding around the arena, George felt so free in the moment, Big smile on his face as he feels right a home, this is what he was born to be, free.
George pulls on the reins and Merlin slowly comes back to trotting, they stop at the brothers and George can see the proud look on their faces.
"THAT WAS AMAZING GOGS! i personally don't do horses but that was like my level amazing!" Tommy congratulates as the brit dismounts and hands the reins back to Tom.
"He's right George, that truly was amazing, i was expecting you to back out after trotting but you surprised us alright." Nash laughed, patting his cousin on the back.
"thanks guys. it was like, i never forgot what to do, it's like it was engraved in my heart." George replies, the Heartfelt message really getting to the boys.
"It's in our blood gogy, you can take the man out of the country, but you can NEVR take the country out of the man!" Tommy exclaims before taking Merlin back to the stables.
George and Nash cheer to that as they walk out of the arena, passing the pastures he sees a horse that looks very out of place, he's stared out into the horse pasture more than a hundred times and he hasn't seen that specific stallion.
The shorter brit stops in his tracks before walking over to the wooden fence.
"hey Ash, is that—"
George cuts himself off with his whistle and the horse shoots up, almost to fast to be some random horse, it was like he remembers the whistle as his unique calling. Nash smiles as man and horse reunite. the dark brown, almost black, stallion with a white blaze down the middle of its face, and shiny sapphire eyes Canters over to the two boys, George hold up his hand as the mystery horse nudged the brits palm.
"Ranger Blue!" George Laughs happily as he pets his childhood buddy, Ranger Blue was the baby of George's mother's horse, young George fell in love with the colt's dazzling blue eyes, hence the name, Ranger Blue.
"I take it this is the first meeting, Ranger likes hiding in the back of the pasture so no wonder you've never spotted him...though..it seems like he remembers you quite well George." Nash grins.
"look how big you gotten! i missed you too boy." George chuckles as Ranger nudges his face.
"EY you tamed the beast! that guy hates us!" Tommy shouts, making Ranger spook but George hushes and calms the horse down.
"He hates you and your big mouth Tommy." Nash scowls, slapping the back of his brother's head.
The two boys start arguing, not paying attention as George slowly climbs onto Rangers back, He's barebacked before, Ranger wouldn't do anything to hurt him..right?
Ranger neighs and takes off with the Brunette on his back, George screams and the brothers whip their heads back to see their cousin getting taken by the damm horse.
"GEORGE!" they scream in unison.
George looks up, his hands tangled into Ranger Blues mane, the only thing keeping the guy on the horse. They near the fence on the opposite side of the pasture they started on, everything be-on the fence is woods. Ranger isn't slowing down as they get closer and closer to the fence.
"Woah Ranger Woah!" George tries to slow the stallion down, no help as Ranger keeps running. 'this is it, this is how i go out huh.' George thought.
"Ranger!" George screams as the stallion leaps over the fence, clearing the jump, George eyes snap shut as the Blue eyed beauty takes him through the unknown.
