"Now Nicki, you really didn't have to go all out with your outfit. We're just going horseback riding, not posing for a photoshoot," my best friend Lauren remarked, eyeing my carefully chosen attire.

"I plan to do both" I said applying my lip gloss.

"Okay, let's go," she said as we walked to her car. Lauren started driving towards Knowles Farm. She had been begging me to do this horseback riding thing with her ever since I got to Houston for her birthday. I didn't really get why she was so obsessed with it, but I figured, why not give it a shot?

Before heading to Knowles Farm, we had to swing by and pick up our friend Ari. It was a thirty-minute drive from there, and I was feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. I had never been around horses, let alone ridden one before, so the whole experience was a bit nerve wracking.

"Hi bitchessss, yall ready to ride some horses?" her loud ass said getting in the car. She had on her cowboy hat too.

"Yeehaw" Lauren said making us all laugh.

"Y'all are so fucking corny, I can't"

"Please have so damn fun Miss New Yorker and why the fuck you so dressed up like this?" she asked leaning up across the seat looking at my outfit.

"I can't ride a horse looking a mess, I need the horse to know a Queen is sitting on top of it" I said.

They laughed as we listened to country music all the way there, these bitches were extra with everything. We did not have to get into the spirit listening to no damn Dolly Parton. I ain't gonna lie, the white bitch had some hits.

Thirty minutes later, Lauren pulled up to this huge ranch house. The yard was massive, and to the left was the farm, where other people were already riding horses. It was a busy scene, and I was totally in awe of the place.

We got out of the car and walked to the front entrance. Inside, a young girl, who looked no older than 12 or 13, peeked up from behind the counter with a sweet smile.

"Your outfit is so pretty" she said.

"Thank you pretty girl" I smiled.

"Are you guys here to ride horses or pick up some eggs or milk?" she asked, her gaze moving between all three of us.

"Horse riding," Lauren replied. The little girl smiled and grabbed a walkie-talkie, calling for three people to come assist us with the horse rides.

A few moments later, we saw two girls riding up on horses, guiding two more horses alongside them. They looked around our age and incredibly talented.

"Hey guys, I'm Kelly and this is Michelle. We'll be your guides today," they introduced themselves. I looked around, confused, wondering where the other instructor was.

"Nice to meet you, i'm Lauren.. this is Ariana and Nicki" Lauren introduced us. "Where's the other instructor?"

"Oh, Beyonce had to go wrangle a wild horse. She's a total pro at it, so she'll be back soon," Kelly explained, glancing down at a note she had in her hand.

"So it says I have the birthday girl and Ariana will be with Michelle" she said looking up smiling, so I guess i'm stuck with the late motherfucker.
