CHAPTER 4

"So when we brake into the meadow up there stand by the big rock to the right and if Sassy runs toward you block her from leaving the meadow Caleb's going to be chasing her than rope her so just stand your ground and you should be fine"

"Ok " yelled as I trotted Rex over to the spot were Kenny told me to wait "oh one more thing make sure Caleb doesn't fait"

"Will do" I laughed as I faced rex towards the meadow I finally got my first good look at the meadow and immediately recognized it as the first place I learned to ride. It was still as beautiful as the last time I saw it with flower popping up everywhere and the giant rock I was in front which I used as a stepping stool every time I was here I could also see all the horses I rode here names carved under mine in the rock consisting of rosemary, dolly duck the first pony I ever had and lastly Sassy my baby girl. I also saw the river which I used to always dip my feet in after riding. I was running my hands through Rex's mane one a stunning mustang came galloping towards us. I recognized the horse as Sassy she was still the same girl with fire in her eyes and a chestnut coat you could defiantly tell she was a Kiger mustang, with how wild she was though I could still see my baby girl inside those eyes. The second thing I noticed was she was coming straight toward me and Rex, I quickly hopped of Rex's back and jumped on top of the big rock and waved my hand above my hand hoping she would recognize me though she turned sharply 6 feet away from the rock. I than faintly remembered how as a filly I would whistle to her as I hid to see if see could find me, I slowly moved my fingers up to my mouth thinking of what I would do if this didn't work and let out a ear piercing whistle. Sassy abruptly stopped in her tracks and pricked her ears toward the noise that was escaping my lips. Than before I could blink my eyes she came galloping toward me like a little filly again. I almost fell of the rock when Sassy bumped me in the chest though I quickly recovered myself and scratched her star under her mane. After 5 seconds she neighed impatiently and almost knocked me off again I wasn't sure what she wanted than all of sudden it popped in my head and I crawled up on her back and sure enough she loped off with a flip of her mane and me sprawled on her back. It was at that moment I hit the realization how much missed this place, with the wind hitting my face and the taste of freedom. Everything was I blur in my eyes and I noticed how will my girl had grew up though I slowly felt myself losing my seat and decided It was time should tame that beast. I grabbed a handed full of her mane than leaned back and pulled her to a standstill. As looked up I saw 3 pairs of eyes watching me, than all of a sudden the second pair lost broke their gaze a started hooting "well I'd be darn she can ride" I looked up at Kenny how had spoken than the two others who were john how must have came during my wild ride and the last eyes were a hazel blue belonging to a young man seeming to be 16 he had blond shaggy hair and seemed to be even taller than john. I didn't recognize him tell I looked down at him mount which was a 16 hand bay quarter horse with a beautiful white stripe on his head plus white stockings.

"Caleb" I said as I pulled him in a hug which he stood like a statue the whole time. Obviously he was still that non emotion cowboy as always.

"You haven't changed at all" I laughed as he stretched the back of his head in a uncomfortable gesture when I let him go. Bet he quickly became that Celeb I remembered

"Are you kidding me look at these guns" he said flexing his arms "but we cant say the same thing for you" he said waving his arm at my petite size

"Hey I'm fun sized" I said as he laughed

"Well at least you not wet"

"Huh" I asked confused

"it just hat the last time saw you, you were soaking wet from falling into a water trough"

"You were the one that through me in it" I said glaring at him

"And I bet I still could"

"No way"

"oh yeah let see" he said with a smirk on his face

"Cal don't even think about it" I said looking at the river

"To late" he said as a swung me on his shoulder and walked toward the river

"Caleb put me down" I screeched while kicking at hitting him.

"Not just yet" he said as he took one more step toward the lake. Though luckily Kenny was able to speak up before we got to the river

"as much as I don't want to end you flirting fest, mom will to have a cow if we don't get home" Caleb quickly put me back on my feet and tilted his stetson down so we couldn't se his eyes obviously embarrassed on what Kenny said which made me laugh.
