"Devon wake up,we're here," Devons father said while looking into the back of the living section of the lorry.
"Thank goodness,I thought we would never arrive." She said sarcastically
Devon rose from the lorries sofa and looked out the window to see multiple lorries behind and in front,Devons father was just driving through the gates but you could see lots of lorries and trailers not even in the drive away.
"I'm never doing this trucker job again,you will have to get uncle George to do it next time,or we will hire someone,"Devons father moaned.
Just by the gates,a man who looked like he was in his middle forties asked for devon and her horses tickets that proved they were going to be part of the academy.Devons father rummaged about the cab of the lorry in all the little pockets,he finally found them and handed them to the man,the man checked them throughly and scanned them to check if they were fake.About five minutes later her gave them more tickets and a map.They eventually got to enter the grounds,
"Here Devon,there is where you have to put your horse for the morning,where you have to go to sign in and then show this ticket with the holes in it to prove you've been confirmed a member by the guard at the gates."Her father handed the tickets into the back.
Devon took them and continued looking out the window,she saw horses in fields,stables and some tied up outside the lorries and trailers.Devons father took a tight,sharp left turn just inside the gates to where they got signed to park,her father looked at the number they got for the space and parked in it.
"Right Devon,I'm going to leave you now my cab is waiting at the end of the road outside the gates."Devons father gave her a kiss on the cheek and waved as he walked to get his cab.
"So you're going to leave me,not having a clue what to do..thanks."Devon rolled her eyes.
She opened up the ramp and read what she had to do with Santiago,
'Tie your horse up to your lorry and get a Hay net from the hay shed.
Robbie will come and collect your luggage.
At 11am sign into the office and you will get told where to go.'Devon walked to the hay shed following the A3 paper map she got,the hay shed was just at the end of the lorry parking.She grabbed a black haynet from a big pile,she dragged it back to the lorry and tied it up at the side of her fancy lorry,she then unloaded Santi and finally tied him up with his haynet.
Devon looked at her watch which read 10.30am,lorries and trailers were still coming in.She saw a boy in a quad with a small trailer attached that had bags in it.
"People that arrived at 10.00am get your luggage out so I can take it to the academy,if there is no luggage outside your lorry when I come,you will take it yourself!" The boy said in his Belgium accent.
"Oh that's me,I came at 10am,"Devon thought to herself.
She ran into the lorry and chucked down her 2 large suitcases out the door that spooked Santiago a little.The boy who must have been Robbie came in his loud quad and then grabbed the suitcases off of Devon when she was in the middle of pushing them past spooky Santiago.
"Wow watch,you just spooked my horse with your fast movements..Who are you trying to be?Usain bolt..."Devon gave the boy a dirty and horrified look.
"Excuse me,do you realise who I am !" He pauses "I'm Mr and Mrs Peeters son,you should teach your horse not be such a coward." He rudely flings in her suitcases not caring.
"Oh great first impression..Already made an enemy,to the owner of this academy's son."She buries her head into santi's perfectly groomed coat.
Devon watched more lorries coming in while sitting on the ramp,she saw a cute little purple lorry come in with a horse bashing about in the back,she then saw a massive fancy black and gold lorry that was similar to hers,and then she a fancy Range Rover pulling a single horse trailer.So many lorries came in with what looked like good riders in the windows,eventually it reached 11am.
