AN: Some reference to this story: it takes place around her 3rd year in collage. It goes by what i believe happened in the new book and the books that have come out in France, but is not meant to be the new book.
Summary: Ty broke up with Amy during the spring break of her freshman year, for reasons Amy doesn't know. Since then Amy has started to date Ted, one of her classmates who is also a pre-vet student and in-line to inherit his families Colorado AQHA and APHA ranch, HRJ Performance Horses. Now it is nearing the summer of her junior year. She's starting to question whether she's being fair to Ted. She's knows she's not over Ty, and anybody who know her can tell that by the ring on her right hand. Ted doesn't know what the ring means, and, when she goes back to Heartland, she avoids Ty as much as possible, so she hasn't been questioned about it yet. She is boarding Sunny and Spindle at a stable near the collage so that she can work with them "without the drive" and occasionally will take another rescue horse to work with.
Ted has asked her to come to his ranch for the summer, but so has her grandpa. He and the rest of her family miss her. She is torn. The answer to her prayers comes in a phone call. Three Bars Ranch wants her to come for a month and a half, to teach them and there staff Heartland's techniques. They are a new horse ranch that buys cheap and average horses and makes them into something. This sound like the perfect escape. One week home, half a week and HRJ, a month and a half at Three Bars, and the last three weeks back at Heartland. Perfect.
AN: Just some more background, she didn't entirely withdraw herself from Heartland. She does the website and comes home, just stays away and doesn't talk to Ty. When they have to talk she keeps it withdrawn, formal, and business. I'm warning you ahead of time, my writing skills have something to be desired.
