"Okay so we have Nala, Zeus, Ursula, Buttercup," Esme paused to roll her eyes, "Romeo, Juilet, Twilight, and Tinkerbell," Esem recapped for us. Than I realized all of these horses had something to do with our personality or life. Nala- the mother cub in a movie. Zeus- the leader of all gods/godesses. Ursula- the evil see witch who wanted something badly. Buttercup- well thats another story... Romeo and Juliet- Edward and Bella's relationship. Twilight- the mystery of the night. And Tinkerbell- the little fairy. I grinned to myself and started searching for a saddle.
I looked around for a few minutes until I found a light pink saddle. I smiled to myself and mentally thanked Esme. Then I remembered I really didn't know much about horses at all.
"Jazz," I called from inside Tinkerbell's stable.
"Yeah hun," he said, appearing from no where and wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Could you put the saddle on Tink for me?" I asked, gesturing to the saddle on the ground and then to Tinkerbell whose eyes widened when Jasper came.
"Sure," he said kissing my cheek and jogging across the stable to pick it up. We had to go at normal human pace because we didn't want to scare them.
I watched Jasper in awe as to how experienced he was. He moved around like a professional, which I guess he sort of was. I sighed in contentment as I leaned my head against the doorway of the stable. He looked up from strapping some buckle together and grinned at me.
I watched him until he was done. He stood up and kissed my cheek as he walked past me back to his horse.
"Thanks hun," I called after him. He turned back and winked then went to open the half door for Twilight to come out of. I watched in curiosity as Jasper hopped onto its back, grabbed the reins, and gently nudged its side. The horse started walking slowly forward. Looked simple enough.
I skipped over to Tinkerbell, started to pet her neck, and run my fingers through her mane before I gently hopped onto her back.
After I was secure on her back, I continued to run my fingers through her mane until I thought she trusted me enough.
I grabbed the reins, thanked myself for wearing sandals with heels that stayed on, and very lightly put a little pressure onto Tinkerbell's side. She urged forward and I completely forgot that I left the door closed and I had no idea how to stop her.
Luckily for me, Edward appeared from Romeo's stable and quickly opened the door for me. I smiled and thanked him in my mind. He grinned, shrugged, and went back to his horses' stable. Just as I was about to worry about how you stop it, Jasper called from the end of the hall of stables.
"If you want her to stop pull on the reins," He told me. I smiled as I tried to lead my horse in his direction. She went willingly. I wondered if she had a tiny crush on Twilight there.
She went at a nice walking speed until she was right next to Jazz and Twilight. They were pretty much towering over us. Tinkerbell moved next to Twilight and nuzzled him in the neck with her nose. I giggled.
Esme and Carlisle were coming from their stables on their feet, leading their horses. Esme had the most beautiful horse I had ever seen, even prettier than Tinkerbell. It was a brown clydesdale with cream colored fur rounding each of it's feet or hooves.
Bella and Edward were right after them on their feet too; well Bella was, Edward was on Romeo and that horse looked mad...really mad.
I looked at Jasper and he nudged Twilight forward and out of the doors of the barn. I didn't even have to tell Tinkerbell to go, she just started trotting towards Twilight and Jasper like a lovesick puppy.
And then we were outside. I was glad my hat was on, because the sun was bright, not that it bothered me, it just was slightly annoying when the sun was that strong.
"Wait guys! I need help," Emmett called from inside the stable after everyone including Rosalie was out in the grass and on their horses. "Ya think," I muttered.
"Rock paper scissors?" Jasper sighed as he looked at Edward. They were deciding who had to go help Emmett. Edward sighed too but nodded. Bella pulled her shield around Jasper as Romeo walked over to where Twilight and Jasper were.
Jasper won and Edward groaned, hopped off of his horse, and sulked inside of the stable.
"What the hell Emmett!" Edward yelled, making my horse jump. I soothed her with a pat on her neck.
"What?" I heard Emmett ask innocently.
"First of all you're supposed to put a saddle on first." Edward sighed.
"Second, your supposed to be facing the same direction the horse is."
"And third, please don't kneel on Buttercup." I laughed when he said this, along with a few other chuckles. Jasper was looking at me with love, admiration, and adoration. He sent off some of his feelings, and I could even feel the proudness of the fact I was so good with horses and I actually liked them, just like him. He truly was my soul mate.
"Well no one told me that," I heard Emmett say defensively.
"How old are you Emmett?" Edward sighed and asked rhetorically.
"93?" Emmett said as if it was a question. "Why?"
"Nevermind," Edward sighed. I heard some movement and I assumed it was Edward getting Buttercup ready for riding. Poor horse.
A few minutes later Edward came out, holding the reins of Buttercup, who was glaring coldly at everything, and Emmett who was pretty much bouncing in excitement on the poor horse. Edward let go of the reins and jumped back onto to Romeo who looked so much happier now that it was standing next to Juliet.
"Uh Jazz, how do you ride this thing?" I asked timidly. Jasper grinned at me then chuckled.
"If you want to turn left, nudge the right side of the horse and turn the reins to the left and visa versa for left. If you want it to stop than pull gently back and say 'whoa'," he explained to me. I nodded and realized everyone else was listening to his instructions to.
"And don't put to much pressure on them," He warned. I nodded again along with everyone else.
"Where are we riding Esme?" He turned his head over to Esme, but I just stared at him.
"We can start in the fenced area then go along the beach. Horses like to swim," Esme said matter-of-factly. We nodded and before anyone else could say anything, Jasper took off with Twilight at a trot which turned to canter, then the horse was galloping around the open field. I laughed and before I knew it Tinkerbell was cantering to catch up. Feeling the wind in my face and whipping through my hair brought forth another round of laughter. This was nothing like running but it was still exciting and exhilarating.
"Come on slow poke," Jasper called, throwing his head back and laughing as I raced to catch up with him. I laughed too and leaned into Tinkerbell urging her to go faster.
I could hear Edward behind me and Bella behind him but I didn't look up because I was too focused on catching up to my husband.
Finally after a few laps around the pasture Tink and I were finally right on Twilight's side. I think the reason she was running so fast is because Twilight was her mate.
Jasper eased Twilight into a canter, then a nice smooth trot. I released most of the pressure I had been putting on Tinkerbell's side from my sandal and she eased to the same pace as Twilight.
"You know if you told me this was this much fun, we'd be living on a ranch right now," I told Jasper. And I was completely serious. I loved riding this horse, and it made it even better that I can ride with Jasper.
Jasper raised one of his eyebrows as if to ask me if I was kidding. "I'm serious," I said, smiling at him. I let go of the reins with one of my hands and stretched it out to Jasper who took it and kissed my knuckles.
"I love you so much," he said as he let our intwined hands drop to our sides.
"I love you too, and I really do think we need a horse or two." I smiled at him again as Twilight and Tinkerbell guided us around the corner.
"Make that four," Edward said from behind us with Bella.
"No six," Carlisle corrected as he and Esme trotted over to where we were.
We all looked at Emmett and Rosalie expectantly, waiting for them to add to the statement.
"What?" Emmett said as he and Rosalie came up to Bella and Edward's side.
"I'm not riding another of these damn animals anytime soon," Emmett said.
"And I stepped in horse poop," Rosalie complained. But none of us really heard her because I'm pretty sure Buttercup heard what Emmett said because he took off running like bat from hell.
Okay show hands who saw that one coming? Was this chapter good? Has anyone ever rode a horse before, and have I done it justice? Any guesses of the next chapter? What color are you socks today? Important questions!
I just got randomly inspired to write this story and I want one of you to read it for me and tell me if I should write more, I've only done the first trial chapter. Now I need to warn you that it isn't like my other stories it's all human and it isn't as humerous as previous stories I've done. If you do want to read it for me send me a PM of a review is fine but know that if you do read it you can't tell anyone what it's about. (This isn't the camping one I'm writing)
Reviews make Rosalie love horses:) (Did that make any sense?)
