Harry watched Rose groom Misty while showing him how to do it, even letting Harry have a go too. Once she was clean, Rose began to put on Misty's equipment while Harry watched, first putting on the saddle on her back and tightening the straps, next putting on her bridle and having Harry in front of the horse so he can see how it was put on and see how it worked, and finally setting the stirrups up for Harry's height.

"Now Harry, come over here and let me put Sarah's spare riding helmet on you. It is important to wear it when riding a horse so you don't get hurt if you fell off, just like when you ride a bike." Rose told her nephew as she was holding a red and black helmet.

"What is my cousin like, Aunty?" Harry asked her.

"Well, Sarah is quite like you, Harry, kind and friendly. She wanted a brother or a sister so she had someone to be with while we were busy at work, but she is every excited to have you as a cousin." Rose told him.

Both of them went over to Misty so Rose could lead her over to the block, where riders can get on horseback and into the saddle easy and safely.

"I am looking forward to see how you ride, young Harry." Misty told him as she was stopped at the block.

So, Rose told Harry how to get on to Misty's back and sit properly in the saddle, they began Harry's first riding lesson, which covered all the basic skills in horse riding, getting used to being on horseback and controlling Misty. But for Harry, this is new to him and he is still a little nervous being so far from the ground.

"You don't need to be so nervous, Harry. I won't hurt you." Misty told him.

They continued riding for more then hour and a half, which Rose thought was plenty of time for a beginner. So as Harry got off Misty, they then began taking off her gear so she can go back in the field with the other horses.

"So, you're my new cousin. I'm Sarah, and mom said you were Harry." A teenage girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes known as Sarah told him, as she was waiting by the gate near the field.

"Ah Sarah dear, perfect timing. I have to go out for a meeting. I'd like you to tell Harry here what you do and tell him about Horseland, as you be taking him there in a couple of days." Rose told her, as she look at the both of them.

"What meeting, mom?" Sarah asked her mother.

"Important business, dear. I will tell you when you are older." Rose told her daughter.

"Come on, Harry. Let me show you the rest of the place and where you will sleep." Sarah told her new cousin happily.

So the two of them went on to look around the yard and the rest of the house, before putting the horses back into the stables for the night.

"So, what did you think of your stay here so far before I came home?" Sarah asked her new cousin, who was holding a nice looking bird she never seen before.

"I am enjoying it more here then I was back home with my aunt and uncle. They didn't like me every much, because of my mother. " Harry told her.

"Why would they hate your mother when you have nothing to do with that?" Sarah asked her cousin.

"It's just they didn't really get along when they were younger. My aunt let her husband beat me and insult me all the time, like when I done something wrong or got a better grade then Dudley." Harry told her.

"Don't worry about them now Harry. You have a new home and family that cares for you. I will bring a few of my friends over to meet you soon and hopefully they'll be friends with you as well." Sarah told her cousin.

"I always do want to have more friends. Dudley wouldn't allow me to have friends at school because he thinks I am a freak, like his parents called me." Harry told her.

"That is horrible! No wonder you were alone all the time. Don't worry about that here, Harry, as we are all the same." Sarah told her cousin.

The pair made their way back to a storehouse that looked like it had built in the 19th century, as it had cream coloured walls, only to be stop by Sarah's dad.

"Ah, Harry I just need to speak to you alone for a minute please." William Whitney told him as he look at his daughter with a kind smile.

"I'll see you inside, Harry. I haven't shown Harry his room yet, dad." Sarah told him as she made her way into the house.

"Mr Whitney?" Harry asked him nervously.

"No need to call me that, Harry. That's was my father was called. Please, call me Uncle W." William Whitney told his nephew.

"I know that, Uncle W. I'll try to remember." Harry told him.

"The reason why I wanted to talk to you is that I have been contacted by a man on the phone. He lived in Goadby, near Leicestershire, and he is allowing me to buy one of his horses, who have just retire from racing. So, I am wondering if you wanted to look after him as your own horse?" William Whitney explained to his nephew, with a little bit of surprise in his voice.

"Really? I can have my own horse even though I've only just ridden Misty?" Harry asked him excited.

"Yes, I only need your answer, Harry, so I can confirm with the owner and he will bring him here in a couple of days." William Whitney told his excited nephew.

"Yes Uncle W! But, why are you doing this for me?" Harry asked him.

"To give you a late birthday gift, the kind that you never have had before." William Whitney told him with a smile, as he began to call the owner back.

"Go on Harry, Sarah is waiting for you." William Whitney told him.
