Chapter 1
"Kristy, Are you ready for your horseback lesson today? Your Dad should be here any minute to pick you up." Yelled Kristy's mom
Kristy was a 10 year old girl and had just been drug through a nasty divorce. Her parents had just gotten divorced. Her mom is blind and doesn't see, so she can't drive, or work for that matter. She had just moved to a new school district of Lee county. She was in the fourth grade and had the worst teachers ever. They denied the fact that her other schools taught a different curriculum and she was far more behind than what the teachers thought. Horseback riding was her escape. When she couldn't go ride, she would get lost in a book. That was her means of escape. She didn't trust her parents because when she stayed at her Dad's he told her things about her mom and when she stayed at her mom's, she was told things about her dad and it all conflicted. So she didn't know who to believe.
Kristy had friends at the stables and she enjoyed spending time with them, but the best thing was when she could go out and nobody was out there. She'd pull her horse Dreamer out of the pasture and give her a quick brush down. She'd grab a helmet in case she was to get caught and she'd put it on her head until she was into the woods. She rode without a saddle or a bridle. She would ride until she came to her secret place, a wide open field. She would then let her horse run. Free, she was atop her mount galloping across the field with nothing but the wind whipping through her hair and she could feel the freedom at her fingertips.
"Kristy, your Dad's here!" Her mom yelled again.
Kristy snapped into reality. She went running out to the car and got ready in the car. She laced up her Ariat boots and slipped on her blunt spurs. Not a word was exchanged between her and her dad. He pulled into the stables and she got out of the car. She waved and walked into the tack room. Dreamer had already been tied up and she had already been fed. She grabbed her saddle which she would never use unless she was as big of a deal as she was in the show circuit. She would have people come up to her and she wouldn't even have to introduce herself. She assumed she was going to have a English lesson with stadium jumping. She grabbed some quilts and polo wraps and wrapped Dreamer's legs. Her saddle, martingale, polos, and full bridle were all on Dreamer. She mounted up and rode up to the small warmup arena.
She warmed up alone for at least forty five minutes and nobody came to instruct her. It was well past 5:30 when her lesson was supposed to be at 4:00. She looked around and didn't see anybody around. She rode out to the trails and took her helmet off. She got to her secret spot and let go of the reins and flew. She needed to run. This week at school had been especially frustrating for Kristy. She came around a corner full out gallop. Pushing Dreamer to go faster and faster. She slowed her down. She had the sudden feeling she was being watched.
