(Pretend the sign ^ says Silver Lake Stables on it okay hope you enjoy)
As we drove down the rocky gravel road. I looked out the window with a big grin. I was happy to be leaving this place. I thought as we drove past the sign. "Deer River Farms" as I read the sign.
"Hey, Cali." My mom said with a questioning look on her face and in her eyes.
I replied with a confused look. "What?"
"Do you think you will like the new barn?" My mom asked with a happy yet still questioning look on her face.
"I think I will like mom. I truly do." I said with a happy expression on my face. As I turned to look at her.
********
My mom started to turn the wheel and look at the sign that read "Silver Lake Stables." I had realized it had been at least 20 minutes since we left the other barn.I knew about this barn since it is right across the street from my house so it was easier to get there.
I would start my lessons today as well. So as soon as we got to the top of the drive way. I got out of the truck and got Trixxy out of the trailer and lead her to the entrance of the barn. There I meet a girl she said "Hello welcome to SLS. You must be Cali Calvin. And this is Trixxy I presume."
^ Trixxy
"How did you know my name? And yes this is Trixxy." I said with confusion in my eyes as I look at her.
"Well, the owner of the barn said a new girl would coming and her name is Cali Calvin. She owns a horse named Trixxy. So that's how I know you. Hi, I'm Lilly Taylor I ride here. So let me show you to your stall." Lilly said with excitement in her eyes and in her smile.
So I followed her and behind me followed Trixxy. Lilly brought me to Trixxy's new stall. And left me to finish. I lead Trixxy into her stall and clipped her lead rope from her halter. I walked out of her stall and went to go get her blankets, riding gear, bridle, girth, martingale, saddle pad, her wraps, and her saddle. I put all her stuff in her locker next to her stall and went to say good bye to my mom.
As my mom drove I turned around and went to Trixxy's stall which now had her name mon it. I entered her stall and started to brush when I heard someone come up to my stall.
"Hey, you must be Cali and this is your horse." He said as I looked up at him and saw a pair of bright blue eyes and a perfect smile.
I smiled and said, "Yes and who shall you be?"
"My name is Matthew Lemmings. I ride Soot right across from you. He is a very different horse if you know what I mean." He said as he smiled back at me. I got up after picking Trixxy's hooves and looked over at Soot.
^This is Soot
"He's a pretty horse if I do say so my self." I said as I looked into Matthew's crystal blue eyes.Matthew nodded back at me.
He turned around and asked when my lesson was. I answered saying "in 30 minutes, do you have one today, too?"
He replied with, "Yes I do. It is also in 30 minutes. So we will. So we will be riding together then."
"Yep we are in deed." I answered with a excited tone to my voice.
Matthew went off to get ready. Leaving me to continue brushing Trixxy. I finished brushing Trixxy and started to tack up. I didn't bridle yet I still had at least 10 minutes until I have to get on. So I waited for Matthew to finish.
And we talked for a little, then we got ourselves ready for our lesson and waited a little longer.
Then we bridled up and headed out the back of the barn to the outdoor arena. And waited to hop on to our horses.
