"Skyler wake up, were almost there."whispered my mom. She was still driving and i was only half awake. Waking up a five am was NOT fun...unless it was for a horse show.
My Mom's new Husband had arrived in Connecticut a month ago to find a house and get my horse, Juniper settled in to my new stable.I really didn't want to move away from California. I made my barn buddies promise we would keep in touch.
David had called a few days ago to announce that he had finally found the perfect house for our family. My mom had hurriedly packed us up, while i laid on my bed saying good-byes to all my friends over the phone. Taking down all my pictures of me with my barn friends was the saddest part. Leaving my trainer would also be hard, but i had her cell number so we could stay in touch.
I opened my eyes and stretched. Crap, my foot had fallen asleep. My mom had decided to Fly to Connecticut Because she hates driving even though I said I could drive because I have my Premit but nope. When we landed we rented a car till we could get a new one here for my mom and me, hopefully. I started stomping, but my mom gave me a warning glance. I stopped. Rolling my eyes i looked out the window to see we were pulling up to a beautiful barn surrounded by Trees. There were 10 arenas 2 indoor 8 out door with some others here and there. The place was huge. There were three girls that looked about my age walking out their horses in the outdoor arena. Maybe I could make some friends, but I would NOT throw my old friends away. Thank the good lord for face book!
I would be finally able to see my Juniper. Juniper was a Black Brown 17h horse with beautiful white markings on his face. He was a russia warmblood/German Warmblood. He was a powerhouse jumper that could do hunters and eq. He was perfect for my 5'8 frame. Yes i'm 15 almost 16, but who says tall couldn't be fun? I get to ride horses for the rest of my life!
"Welcome to Hummingbird Nest Riding Stables honey!" said my mom putting the SUV into park."Lets go get your tack box out of the back."Mom stepped out of the car, closing the door behind her.
"Ya...just a sec." i said in awe, taking in the whole scene.
This was going to be my new beginning, a fresh start at life, but would I be able to leave my old California life?
