"Wow, it's really beautiful out here!" Ruthie thought to herself as she rode Patch through the beautiful Virginia countryside.
"So, Ruthie, where are you from?" asked Carole, one of the girls Ruthie was riding with.
"Glenoak, California! Have you guys lived here all of your lives?" Ruthie asked.
Stevie answered for the whole group when she said, "I have, and so has Lisa, but Carole here has moved ALL around; her dad's in the military and they kept moving from base to base when she was younger.
"Thanks Stevie!" Carole said somewhat sarcastically. The girls then fell silent as they watched the beautiful countryside go by.
"Let's canter!" exclaimed Lisa. All of the girls agreed and soon they were flying by on horseback. Finally, when the girls were back in a less open area, they slowed their horses down and the conversation began again.
"What are your horses' names?" Ruthie asked.
"This is Starlight; she's my horse, Lisa is riding Prancer, who is a retired racehorse, it's actually quite an interesting story. You see." Carole said as Lisa and Stevie kept back a groan, they knew that if she started to talk about horses, she would never stop! Ruthie, however was much more interested, but by the part of the story that was about the broken bone in Prancer's foot, she was wishing for the Cliff-notes version!
".so to make a very interesting horse story shorter; Prancer was bought by Max and Judy Barker, you know the vet who I was apprenticing for, and now Lisa rides her regularly! Oh yeah, I forgot about Stevie's horse, her name is Belle, but you know she didn't always have a name, in fact." Carole said.
"CAROLE STOP!!!!!" Lisa and Stevie screamed in unison. Carole looked around sheepishly and then she decided that they were just joking with her.
"It almost makes me wish I didn't have anymore questions," Ruthie said "but, I just want to know two more things, okay 1)What do your parents do? and 2) How long have you guys known eachother?"
"Well, Carole's dad is a colonel, Stevie's parents are lawyers, and my dad does something in an office, and I'm convinced my mom's job is to annoy me!" Lisa said with a grin.
"We've known each other since what seems like forever! But, it really hasn't been, Lisa just started riding a year or so ago. I knew Carole before that of course, because she came here about six months before Lisa. We are all part of The Saddle Club; which is a club that we started ourselves. The only rules are that you have to be horse crazy and be willing to help each other no matter what." Stevie said.
"Okay, now you have to answer a few of our questions," Carole said "1)What do your parents do, 2)How long have you been riding, and 3)Do you have a horse?"
"Okay, my dad's a minister for our local church, and my mom does the same as Lisa's she tries to annoy me! Just kidding! It is hard as the youngest in a family with seven kids though, well not really the youngest, Sam and David, the twins are actually the youngest, but they don't really do anything, they're only two. I've been riding for about a year, the same as Lisa. I'm going to be in my first show next weekend, which is why I'm not at the convention with the rest of my family; my instructor felt that it was "necessary for me to practice so that I can be better then the rest of the novice riders" and I don't have a horse, but I love to ride this one horse; Apollo. He's a thoroughbred from the track too, but he just couldn't run fast enough so the owner sold him to the owner of my barn." Ruthie said as she noticed clouds gathering above them in the sky.
"Well, your instructor is right; you really need to practice to do your best." Carole said. Then she noticed what the other girls were staring at in the sky.
"I think we should turn back, you know how Patch doesn't like thunder!" Lisa said as there was a loud boom of thunder.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!! Help me!" Ruthie screamed as Patch took off, heading into a part of the woods that had no trail.
