A/n: look I'm back! Yes I know I have been gone for a while. But I had finals and the pre-final tests and all that wonderous stuff... and I just couldn't bring myself to do this... I'm so lazy... so anyway... on w/ the story!

"Where have you four been?" Mrs. Reg asked, "Wait, four of you? Last time I checked, there were only three!"
"The new one is Ruthie, she's from California," Stevie replied,"Do you have anything for her head?"
Mrs. Reg nodded and brought out a first aid kit as she began to tell a story, "I knew a horse from California once, he was a wild one. One day I tried to bring him into the stable so he wouldn't get too wet in the rain. I grabbed a halter and a lead rope and went out in the field to get him." With that, Mrs. Reg left and put the first aid kit away. The girls exchanged a confused look, but shrugged it offand began tending to Patch's leg.
They brought Patch back to his stall and gave him a carrot and a few green apple jelly beans.
The girls walked up the stairs to the hayloft and began to help Ruthie polish her tack and boots.
"You said that the horse you ride's name is Apollo right?" Carol asked as she buffed Ruthie's right boot.
"Yeah, he's a real sweetie," Ruthie answered as she applied saddle soap to her saddle. Her riding attire, saddle, and bridle had all been shipped earlier in the week so she could practice using her new equipment.
"Are you excited or nervous about you show?" Stevie asked.
"A little bit of both, but I know Apollo will take care of me." Ruthie replied knowingly.
The girls finished soaping, oiling, polishing, and buffing the supple leather in silence, each thinking of their own favorite horse.
"I can't thank you enough for helping me with all of this stuff!" Ruthie exclaimed. Stevie, Lisa, and Carol smiled.
"You're welcome, after all, one of the rules of The Saddle Club is to help the other members," Lisa explained.
"Really, I'm in The Saddle Club?" Ruthie asked earnestly.
The other girls nodded and they joined in a group hug. They set up their sleeping bags in a square, with their heads pointing inwards. They talked for a little while longer about horses, but soon drifted off to sleep.
A/N: There you have it... now press that review button because you know you want to and because you want to make that review number higher also because if you do, I'll be your best friend! wink wink I'll try and get the new chapter up as soon a I finish my summer reading, but considering I have to read each sentence about three times in The Hound of the Baskervilles, it may take a while, but DEFINITELY before I head off to Canada!
