Never Going Down

stable trips

(Pic of what Andy looks like)

Dressing in some skinny jeans and a pink sweater I combed my blonde hair back and went out of my room and down stairs in search of the kitchen. I could hear Lyn talking to someone and the familiar clang of pots and pans. Pushing the door in front of me open I smiled as I stepped into a large modern kitchen.

Aunt Lyn was at the stove cracking some eggs into a pan while trying her best to hold the phone between her shoulder and ear.

"Oh hun she just walked in, yeah ok will do, bye" looking at me with a soft smile she passed me the phone and turned back to the stove

"Hello?"

"Riley honey, how are you today?" my dads happy voice crackled down the line and I sighed

"Good dad, I am good, this place is amazing and you guys have horses" I said as I took a seat on a tall stool beside the kitchen counter.

"Oh that's good sweetheart, I knew you would like the view of the barn, your momma told me you were still horse crazy, you should go ahead and ask Lyn she might let you ride one" dad said, my heart rate excelled as the thought of riding through the fields I saw this morning warmed me with delight

"Ok dad will do, I gotta go now ok, I love you"

"I love you too honey, talk soon"

Hanging up the phone I grabbed an apple from an overflowing fruit basket on the counter and looked at my step mother.

"Hey momma Lyn" I started before taking I bite

"Yeah hun" she answered with her back still to me while she was cooking

"Are any of your horses rideable?" I asked chewing on the bite of apple

"Oh yes hun, um let me think, um yes I think Andy would be a great horse for you to ride" she exclaimed swinging around to face me with an excited expression,

"Just go on down to the barn and you'll find her in her stall" she smiled pushing me from the stool and towards the door. Stopping she looked down at my ballet flats and sighed

"But they aint no riding boots" turning to the shoe rack on the porch she dusted of a pair of brown boots and handed them to me

"Here try these, they should fit and if they do you can keep them"

Nodding my head I slipped them on and smiled, they fit. Smiling with delight she pushed me down the stairs and quickly ran back to the kitchen.

Making my way down to the barn, chewing on my apple I secretly admired the red ford, it was one of my favourite models.

2011 Red Ford F-250 pickup, yep it was sexy that's for sure, pity about the owner. Though if I was honest the GMC Sierra was much sexier.

The barn smelt sweet from the scent of horses and feed, it was a smell I wish I could bottle, that and the smell of freshly oiled leather. Walking down the cobblestone breezeway I read each of the bronze plaques until I found one that read 'Andy'.

Andy was a tall and solid built mare, her coat was a bright brown, known as red-bay. She had no while markings but the blackest mane and tail and kind wide eyes, she was stunning!

"Hey girl" I cooed as I grabbed a lead and entered her stall

"Are you not a beauty, now come on let's get dressed for a ride hey" clipping the lead to her red halter I led her out into the breezeway and clipped her into the cross ties.

"Now sweetie, where does mum keep the brushes hey?" I cooed to Andy as I scratched her chin and smoothed down her thick black forelock.

Looking around me I decided the tack must all be kept in one of the two closed rooms I could see. Walking to the first one I turned the door knob and pushed softly, as it opened I saw a sight that made me laugh loudly.
