Cowgirls Don't Cry

Chapter One

Rifle's P.V.O

I woke up early this morning because today is my birthday. I am turning four years old today. I got up and put on some new jeans, and a white t-shirt. I ran to the bathroom, grabbed a washcloth and washed my face. After I washed my face, I started brushing my tangled long blonde hair. I finished brushing my hair, and started brushing my teeth. I finished brushing my teeth and went to the kitchen, where I smelled bacon and eggs frying. When I entered the kitchen my mom noticed me. "Happy birthday Rifle, did you sleep well" she asked.

"Yes ma'am, I did. Where's daddy at" I asked. "He went to get you birthday present" she answered. At that moment he burst through the door. "Happy birthday baby girl" he shouted as he picked me up.

"Hi daddy" I said. "I hope y'all are ready to eat" my mom said. Me and dad shook out heads yes, then we fixed our plates.

Small time skip (after breakfast)

As we finished eating my dad asked "Are you ready for your birthday present?" "Yes" I exclaimed. "Then let's go outside to where it is" he said. As we walked outside I noticed that my dad had had the horse trailer hooked up to his truck. Before we got to the his truck he had me cover my eyes, so I couldn't see. I then heard him say "Open your eyes."

I opened my eyes and gasped, my dad had a jet black foal. " He's yours" my dad said. "Is it a colt or a filly" I asked. "It's a colt" he said. "Does he have a name" I asked. "No you can name him what ever you want" he said. "Bullet, his name is Bullet" I said. "I think that's a great name for him" my dad said.

Time skip (Two years later)

For two years I have been training Bullet so I could ride him. I am now six years old and I am about to learn how to ride. "You ready baby girl" my dad asked. "Ready as I'll ever be." We had already gotten Bullet saddled up."Okay so you know how to get on right" my dad. "Yes sir" I said. I put my foot in the stirrup, and threw my other foot over.

I was then mounted on the saddle."Ok go into a walk" my dad said. I did as he asked. I gave a gentle kick to his side."Ok try a trot" he said. I kicked him a little more, and Bullet went into a trot."That's good, now go into a gallop" my dad command. I kicked him a little two hard, so Bullet went into a canter. I lost control of the reins and fell off. My dad rushed over. I was starting to tear up when my dad said:

Cowgirls don't cry, ride baby, ride. Lessons in life are gonna show you in time. Soon enough your gonna know why. It's gonna hurt every now and then. If you fall get back on again. Cowgirls don't cry.

That made me feel better. I nodded and got right back on. That day I learned how to ride. But I didn't know that little lesson that day would Chang my life for the better.
