Tommy opened a door to the barn, which held some horses.
Tommy led them down to the second door on their left. It was a quarter horse with a white stare on her forehead.
Tommy: Jude this is Star she will be your horse for today. Sam go tack up Bella.
Sadie: Who's Bella?
Tommy: Her beast.
Sam: She is NOT a beast, just cuz she dosn't like you too much dosn't mean you can talk that way about her.
Tommy: She is a wild black mare that we found in the woods when we were younger. She adores Sam but pretty much hates me.
Sam led her out of her stall tacked up and ready to go. She was black, but she had white going up her legs.
Sadie: She is gorgeous.
Kwest: Wait until you see your horse.
He led her down to a horse was just a plain chestnut mare.
Sadie squealed: How'd you get him? We sold him.
Tommy: It was Kwest. Consider this your wedding gift from me it cost a fortune to get him here from the U.S
Jude: Hi Chester. How are you?
In response he just nuzzled her neck. Chester was a chestnut mare that Sadie used to own a couple of years back. Before she was trying to train him while he was still a pony. By the time she did their family had sold the land.
Tommy led Maddie and Cindy to some of the last stalls before he stopped in the middle of the barn.
Tommy led them to two ponies that were already trained for riding.
Cindy: This is Twilight he gave her a pony that had brown and white patches.
Maddie: This is Twilight's sister Patches. He gave her a taller pony with black and white patches.
Cindy: Uncle Tommy is Twilight a girl.
Tommy: Of course.
He help the two girls tack up first.
Maddie: Daddy I can't get up.
Cindy: Uncle Tommy she is too short.
Tommy: Sorry girls I gave you the wrong horses, Twilight is a little bit shorter than Patches, here he lifts Cindy off of Twilight and then lifts Maddie off of Patches and switches them. Now go out into the ring with Jude, Uncle Kwest, Sadie and Aunt Sam.
Cindy: If Kwest is like our uncle and if he is marring Sadie isn't she our aunt too?
Maddie: Yes.
Tommy: Go into the ring.
Soon he cam out with a black Arabian named Colbolt.
Tommy walked his horse out of the barn. Before he mounted it he saw Sam playing a game of Simon says horse style; while Sadie, Kwest and Jude were in a corner talking.
As Tommy mounted he called out: ready to go?
Cindy and Maddie were squealing loudly, which scared their horses. Sam and Jude had made it over to the horses before anyone got hurt.
Tommy: Girls, what have I told you about doing that?
The girls response: That you were old and so we couldn't scream.
Tommy turned a little red as the rest of the group laughed.
Sam: I think he meant horses although you were right about what you just said.
Maddie: O. That us being loud especially when were by horses ears that we could scare them,
Cindy interrupted: which could hurt us.
Tommy: Good.
Sam: Do you still wanna go?
The girls: Yes.
Sam: I'll lead. Then Cindy then Maddie. Then the rest then Tommy. The spot?
Kwest and Tommy: Yea.
Jude and Sadie: Wat's the spot?
Sam: I'm not into dying today.
Meanwhile Cindy and Maddie were arguing over why Cindy got to go first.
Sadie: Cindy is going to ride infrront of Maddie going to wherever we are going, and then Maddie will ride iin front of Cindy on the way back.
The girls start to yell in protest.
Cindy: Uncle Kwest do something.
Maddie: Yea Uncle Kwest.
Kwest pulls out a coin: Mad-mad call ir.
Maddie: tails.
It lands and rolls around the ground until it drops to the ground and it's heads.
Tommy: Now apologize to each other that is no way to act towards your bestfriend. Kwest shut it.
Maddie: I am sorry you can ride in front first.
Cindy: I am sorry too.
Sam: Get on your horses.
Sadie and Kwest help Cindy and Maddie on the horses,
Then they mount their horses.
Then Sam lead the way then Cindy, Maddie, Jude, Sadie, Kwest.
Sadie: Kwest how much longer?
Kwest: I dunno.
Sam: about five seconds.
Sadie Huh? There is no clearing and it is all to steep either way..
Sam: Suddenly takes a sharp turn to the left.
Tommy calls ahead: Slowly.
They go down the hill/mountain
Sadie: You would never think there was a trail here
Sam: There's not. West-west, me-me and me were riding gotten lost and found this, over the years of riding it, we know it forwards and backwards.
Sadie: So Tommy you never brought anyone down here?
Tommy: No, no one it's private besides I didn't want to get arrested for indecent exposure.
Jude: cue the confused looks now
Tommy laughed: Sam, Kwest and I made a pack that if we brought anyone here we'd have to go jump in the lake by the docks but naked, swim for 5 minutes then run around by the park for another 5.
Sadie: The kids would have loved that
Kwest: Dontcha know it?
Meanwhile the girls were playing I Spy
Maddie: How much longer?
Kwest: Not long.
Sam announced we're here.
Jude and Sadie: gasp we're… it's…
