Chapter 6
The next day after working the horses Ashleigh called Mona and told her that she was on her way over for the trail ride. When she got to Gardner Farm, as Mona had decided to call it, she saw Mona ready and waiting for her on her horse Foster. Once they were on the trails the two women talked about everything. They were riding on the trails between the back pastures of Whitebrook and Gardner Farm when Mona pointed to one of the mares and foals and asked who were those two simply beautiful horses. It turns out they were Wonder and Challenge. Once back at Whitebrook, Ashleigh gets another call from Jean.
"Hey Ash do you think we could send another horse to you?" asked Jean.
"Sure, which horse?" Ashleigh asked.
"The horse is named Townsend Girl and is out of Lord Townsend and Josie's Girl. She and the Terminator were best buds before they were weaned. If he's causing you trouble like I'm sure he is then perhaps she would help calm him down."
"In that case I'll come right over and get her or you can get your husband to drive her over to Whitebrook"
"How bout I get my husband to do it, save you the trip over here."
"OK"
"OK. He'll see you in a couple hours."
They both hung up and Ashleigh just sat there wondering what this Townsend Girl was going to be like. Ashleigh vaguely remembered what Josie's Girl was like: a really calm temperament but super fast. She also remembered hearing about Lord Townsend being a huge handful and enjoying trying to injure his handlers and riders.
"I wonder if this Townsend Girl is going to be a handful like her father or as easy to control as her mother? Well either way she will have a bunch of speed from both sides of her family." Ashleigh thought hanging up the phone.
