Hey! I thought for my firstupdate I thought it would be best to put up two chapters so you can get a little more into the story and see if you like it! So again, please, no flames!
Bakura rushed out the door, after Justin. Justin had gone into a large garage. He was looking around. There were all kinds of 4-wheelers, dirt bikes, and lawnmowers.
"That little…" He fussed, "she's taken the Honda!" He made his way in an out of the vehicles. "I guess we'll be taking the Big Bear." He laughed as he walked over to a very large 4-wheeler with 'Yamaha Big Bear' on it.
Bakura's eyes got big again. Justin told him to 'get his butt on the 4-wheeler'. So he did. Justin cranked it up and pulled out of the garage.
"The horse barn is just through this little stretch of wood." Justin reassured him.
When they got there Ali was riding a palomino horse around a riding ring. When she saw them she walked the horse to the side of the fence. "Hey-ya, boys."
"Momma said you ain't to be ridin' Desperado." Justin said in a serious voice.
"Does she look like Desperado to you?" Ali snapped as she gestured to the horse she was riding.
"No! I know Peach when I see 'er." Justin smiled as he patted the horse. "You want some help?"
"If ya don't mind." Ali said as she dismounted. "Come on. I want you to meet the horses." She motioned for Bakura to follow her as she walked into the barn.
"Is it okay to leave that horse out there?" Bakura asked.
"Peach ain't gona do nothin'." Justin laughed.
"Alright. Let's go." Ali went down the row naming every single one of the 16 horses by memory. Peach, Trevor (Trev), Kiwi, Dixie, Trigger (Trig), Romeo, Virgo, Ladybug (Lady), Converse (Con), French Vanilla (Nilla), Egypt, Memphis, Honeycomb (Hun), Mason (Mace), Cookie Dough, and Desperado. Desperado was a tall pitch black horse.
"So who do you want to ride?" Ali asked.
"I'm ridin' Desperado." Justin said as he walked into the black horse's stall. "I'll be in the other ring. I need to teach him some manners."
"Which is the easiest one ride?" Bakura asked looking at all of the horses.
"Well I'd say Nilla is pretty good." Ali said as she motioned to a light brown horse.
"Then I'll ride her." Bakura smiled.
"Okay, now just come over here and be petting her nose. That way she won't be scared of you. I'll go get her tack." Ali walked into the tack room.
Bakura cautiously began petting the horse. She seemed to like him.
Ali walked out of tack room carrying a big saddle. "Open the stall fer me, please." She huffed.
Bakura opened the door. Ali threw the saddle over Nilla's back and strapped it on. She then put her bridle on. "She's all done."
Ali showed Bakura how to lead Nilla. He was afraid of horses but he did like French Vanilla.
"Okay, now put you're left foot into the stirrup. And swing you're other leg over the saddle. Once you get over, put you're right foot into the right stirrup." Ali was instructing Bakura.
He nodded and actually managed to heave himself over the horse. He was pretty proud of himself.
"Now, how do I make her go?" He asked a little confused.
"You have to squeeze her sides with your legs. The harder you squeeze the faster she'll go." She said all of this as she mounted Peach. "And to make her stop you just pull back on the reigns, but don't pull to hard. And make sure you pull straight back. To make her turn, pull left if you want her to go left and pull right to go right. Simple enough?" Ali was now riding right beside Bakura.
Bakura nodded nervously "I guess." He was at a trot but he was moving stiffly.
"Bakura, you have to move with her. Watch." Ali trotted around the pen while raising up and sitting down in the saddle.
"I'll try." He started moving with Nilla and found out that it was a smoother ride.
"Good job. Now let's try cantering." Ali made Peach go at a 'jog' or canter. She went around the ring and came back. "Now you try."
Bakura nodded and squeezed Nilla's sides. She began to canter. He was scared at first but then found out that it was better than trotting.
"Wow, you're a natural!" Ali was impressed with Bakura's progress. He had never ridden a horse and here he was cantering like a pro.
Just then Justin came out of the barn on Trevor. "Why are you on Trev?" Ali asked.
"Desperado started sweatin'. I galloped a lot. I wanted to wear him out." Justin said as he watched Bakura. "He's gettin' good."
"Yea, he is." Ali agreed as Bakura came over to them.
"That was fun." He laughed.
"I think he'll be ready for a trail ride in a few days." Ali said.
Justin then looked at his watch. "Shoot, we're almost late for supper! Momma'll kill us!" He galloped Trevor back into the barn. Ali followed as Bakura cantered Nilla.
Okay, hope you liked the 2nd chapter! Well G/2/G!
