I sat in the front seat of my brothers Ram 1500, my eyes wandering over the endless valley of trees, I was so bored tree after tree pasted us, All I wanted to do was finally get to my new school Canterwood Academy but I'm two month's late from the first day of school, but its  one of the most prestige Boarding schools. I got accepted when they got whiff of me and my horse Becoming a show jumping superstar,so they sent me a letter asking me if I wanted to be a part of the school, and I said yes of course, because who in there right mind wouldn't.

I checked my phone no new messages, well that was understandable because I had only one friend and she didn't have a phone, so she couldn't text. At my old school I was kind of an outcast, because I wasn't cool like the others, because I liked horses, and getting my hands dirty, while they wanted other people to do their dirty work. But hopefully now that I'm on my way to Canterwood That will all change, because I would really like a fresh start.

I should Really say some things about myself,Well I'm Em that's my nick name my real name is Emmasophia, but that's to long and none would like it, so I'm just Em. I have light blue eyes with some black outlines on them weird right, I have strawberry blonde hair, not orange!!,It reaches a Little down past my shoulders, because my hair sucks, I'm average height, I would say I'm slim, but I don't care. And I am horse obsessed, I have a big brother Named Brian he is Uni, and my parents are gone who knows where, so I used to live with my aunt an uncle on their ranch.

And of course I have a a horse, but I actually have two and they are both coming with me to Canterwood, I got permission from the school, they are both my baby boys, both age 5, The first one is an  light Bay Irish Draft named Prince he is 17hh, and three white stockings, a very handsome boy. And my other baby boy who is more like a dog, is Wind Chaser he gets his name because I swear he chases the wind he is an Irish sport horse, a black and white classic Tobiano, they are both my best friends.

"Hey Em" I looked over at my bother, who was looking at the road " where here" My heart skipped a beat, I looked out the front and Saw the beautiful Canterwood Academy, we slowly drove up the black driveway to the imposing ivy-covered wrought- iron gates and into the parking lot. Oh my gosh we were finally here!!! I jumped out of the truck and sucked in a huge breath, this was my new life. I looked around and saw ivy covered stone buildings, lots of rolling green hills, with millions of lush leafy trees, a beautiful forest, and not to far off I saw the most beautiful dark lacquered stable in the distance.

I Looked over at my brother and grinned at him" Brain look at this place its amazing" " Yea its pretty cool" he said wrapping an arm around my shoulders,  this was so exciting, I was going to live here, and ride my baby boys" oh my gosh I forgot about them!!!. I ducked under my brothers arm,  and ran around to the back of the truck of where the trailer was hooked up to. I unlocked the Handel and pulled the ramp down, and Opened both doors, reveling some excited horses.

" Hey guys I'm sorry it took so long to get here, but its better late then never" I said to them they just whinnied, Prince shook his head, and Wind Chaser stomped his feet, I went to the truck and pulled out two black leather lead lines, I skipped back to the trailer and clipped the lead lines onto my babies halters, and then I unhooked both of their stall guards.

" OK Guys be good don't kill anyone, and don't eat anything that isn't yours" I told them sternly, wind chaser rubbed his head on my arm, telling me to get a move on, I giggled and lead them down the ramp, and onto the driveway. They both held their heads high with ears swerving around, they were checking out our new home, They started to pull me both ways, I pulled them back" guys stop where going to get somewhere soon" I said rolling my eyes, My bother came around and took wind chasers lead from me.

" we are supposed to make our way to the stable" Brain said" I just made a call to the school" he added in, I nodded my head, and gathered Princes lead line in my hand, " where to" I asked my brother nervously," there are some signs we are supposed to fallow" he said pointing to the first sign that said stable, with a arrow pointing down a grassy path We lead my boys down the path, we where getting farther away from the parking lot,  we came across black iron signs directing riders to cross-country courses and riding trails, it was so beautiful here, we continued walking, my boys where getting restless, and started to pull, we neared the stable.

They had the most greenest paddocks I have ever seen that stretched for ever, with nice black fences, horses dotted the grass eating their fill of golf green grass. A few of them Whinnied at Wind chaser and Prince, they answered their call with a few whinnies of their own. We kept walking and pasted a gorgeous arena with black fences and horse jumps, I couldn't wait to take a run on that course. We finally came up to the stable, the beautiful Dark wood with white boarders made the stable seem like it was glowing.Huge pots of flowers mixed with the smell of horse and hay. stone walls were built here and there so riders to sit on. It was huge, it looked like it had two floors I couldn't wait to explore.

"Greetings" Me and my brother turned around and saw a man walking towards us with short brown hair,  a green canter wood polo shirt white breeches and brown boots, he was tall.

" You must be Brain And Emmasophia" he said smiling at us, I ins tally got nervous, this man was like the boss of the riding program, if you make him made he could kick you out of the riding program.

"Yes it's nice to meet you Mr.Conner Em is very excited to be here and train under your watch full eye" My brother said smoothley, what a pro I thought while rolling my eyes.

" well It is very warm out so I think it might be good to take the horses in and show them their new home" he said grinning, I nodded my head, and we lead the horses after Mr.Conner into the stable, we were lead through two huge Brown double doors, they where so grand, our boots tapped against the concrete ground, we kept walking down the huge grand isle. The rows of stalls had light brown shining wood, and black iron bars, wooden tack trunks lined down the isle, and the gold name plates shone, on the stall doors, some of the horses heads poked out of there stalls. Mr.Conner stopped at two huge stalls, with fresh white wood shaving bedding, two gold name plates, with my babies names on them shone in the sunlight like a star at night.

"Theses are your horses stalls, and tack trunks, I hope theses are good enough for them" said Mr.Conner

I looked over at my brother and smiled, this was the best place ever!!!, he smirked at me and led Wind Chaser into his stall, Looking over at Mr.Conner I smiled and said" Thank you'

'No problem Emmasophia" he said chuckling

"Mr.Conner can you call me Em?, because I rather be called that" I asked

"'Yes Em I can do that for you, now why don't you put your other horse in the stall so we can go on a tour" He said

I quickly lead Prince into his stall, and unhooked the lead line from him, and shut the stall door behind me"OK I'm ready lets go see our new home" said excitedly, My brother and Mister Conner laughed and we started to walk down the stable isle.

This is so exciting my new life begins now
