I get out to the arena, I latch the gate shut, and make sure all of my tack is secure before getting onto Saint.
I do our usual warmup which is two circles of walking, trotting and cantering both ways, and then I go on to jumping. I have a amazing arena all thanks to my brother, he works for this really rich guy who I have never met or heard of.
I start out with some easy things just to make sure Saint is all warmed up, so we did two rounds of a six in a row with 2 strides between each jump. I then went on to my course that I had set up which consisted of a double oxer, triple bar, again the six in a row, and the regular fences which I have set at a height of 5'5 as you heard my dad say. I clear the course several times. As I'm doing it for the last time before I cool Saint out I'm going over the finial jump and once it's cleared I hear clapping. I look over to see Taylor, Jess, Baby W, and a guy I've never seen in my entire life.
"What height is that at Mas? 5'4?" Taylor shouts as I'm walking over to him. "5'5" I tell him with a smirk as I'm hopping down. "Whoa who is she?" The still nameless guy asks, "Oh right, Mason this is Jackson Dean, aka my boss, and Jack, this is my baby sister Mason." Taylor introduces us. "Hey I'm only 11 years younger than you. I'm not a baby." I tell him, "You'll always be a baby to us." My dad shouts walking up on his horse.
"Hey there Jackson, long time no see." Dad says, "Mason why don't you go untack Saint while we catch up." Dad says, I open my mouth to say something but Taylor beats me too it.
"I'm completely fine with that, but I just have one— well two things for you Mason. Why don't you tie Saint up for a minute and follow me." I look at him weirdly but then do as I'm told. After Saint is safely secured I follow Taylor out to the trailer hooked up to his truck.
"Taylor. Why do you have a horse trailer?" I ask slightly— well very confused; "Because baby sister, this is part one of two of you birthday/Christmas gift since we weren't able to make it down to celebrate." He says before opening the trailer.
"This is Comet. He is 4 years old dapple grey, 16'2 hands, and a jumper." Taylor says while leading him out of the trailer. "And in case it wasn't clear he is part two." Jessica says.
I know it might sound dramatic but I can actually feel the tears stinging in my eyes. This is practically my dream horse. And now that I have it and I couldn't be happier.
"I don't know what to say. I don't know how I could ever thank you guys for this." I say tears slowly coming out of my eyes. "Why don't you go and put Comet in his stall and get him settled, I'll untack Saint for you." Taylor says, I nod excited and quickly go and take Comet from Taylor leading him into the barn.
Taylor's POV
I watch dad as he smiles happily watching Mason walk off with Comet, but I soon snap him out of it.
"Have you told her yet?" I ask him, "No not yet, I was thinking tonight at dinner." He says, "That's fine but you have to tell her then." He nods understanding.
I then go grab Saint to put him away. "I'll be right back." I say to them, they respond with a mix of 'okay' and 'take your time' when I get in the barn I see Mason spreading out brand new bedding in an empty stall.
"Hey kiddo." I tell her, she looks up and instantly runs up to me throwing her arms around my waist seeing as my 6'6 body towers over her 5'3 one.
"Thanks you a million times over and over." She says. "Hey I would do anything for you. I love you so much." I tell her. "Not as much as I love you." She says snuggling her head deeper into my chest.
This is the trailer Mason got:
