"Ok do we know the plan?" James asked
"Yep, Grandpa's my dad Grandma's my mom and Emma's my Babysitter." Henry stated we all nodded
"Although I still don't think great-grandma's going to fall for it."
"Just try kid." Emma said Henry sighed.
"Ok let's go." James and got out of the car and we all followed
"Hello can I speak to the director?" James asked a guy in his early twenties at the front desk.
"Sure one moment" The guy said before promptly tripping landing at Emma's feet, Emma helped him up
"Thanks" He said before carefully scurrying off
"It's Dopey!" I whispered in James's ear
"I know," He whispered back just then a woman in her late sixties approached us.
"Hi I'm Rose the stable director welcome to Rose Road Riding School. Sorry about my helper Chance he's kinda clumsy." She said James smiled
"No problem, I'm David Nolan this is my wife Mary Margaret and our babysitter Emma." Rose shook each of our hands in turn
"And this is Henry"
"Hi Henry your the student right?"
"Yep I can't wait! I'm gonna be riding like Prince Charming in no time!" Rose laughed
"I like your spunk Henry why don't we find you a horse to tack up and get started?"
"Alright!" Henry grinned I had to hand it to the kid he had the horse crazy thing down. Rose smiled and led us through the stables
"Buttercup shall do nicely." Rose smiled going into a stall and remerging with a gold colored horse. I gasped
"She's beautiful," I murmured
"Palomino right? With some Spanish Mustang blood in her." I smiled at the surprised look on Rose's face
"You know horses?"
"I know enough" I blushed
"Well you got a good eye Mrs. Nolan" Rose said before tying Buttercup in cross ties and teaching Henry how to tack up a horse once Henry had Buttercup tacked up and a helmet on Rose helped him mount in the arena.
"That just proves he's your grandson!" Emma said as Henry swung into the saddle with ease.
"Well you'd be good too if you rode ever." James said
"Yeah like Regina let him ride" Emma scoffed silence filled the air as we watched Henry.
About half an hour later Henry was untacking Buttercup with a little help from Chance while Rose spoke to James and me
"Henry's quite good a real natural." Rose said eyeing my ring
"I'm sorry I don't normally do this but… that's a lovely ring Mrs. Nolan… may I?"
"Certainly" I smiled holding out my hand for Rose to examine the ring,
"It's quite unique…" Rose trailed of before her eyes snapped shut and she clutched her head.
