Excerpts-
EXCERPT
It wasn't going to be our first schooling show.
Or our second.
But it promised to be the most exciting one.
First, because Sarah – my very best friend – and I were determined to jump higher than we ever had before. Well, Sarah was, really. I still wasn't too sure. You see, last time I fell off. It wasn't a bad fall, but it scared the heck out of me.
Second, we were going to a new ranch, one that had sent out a very weird schooling show notice. So, we weren't sure what to expect.
The fog didn't help our nerves any. It rose and settled as if a giant bellows were pumping it across the freeway.
My Dad couldn't see well as we drove north from Lapton. He grumbled at the weather, then looked in the rear view mirror and grumbled at us.
Sarah and I didn't return his glance, afraid he would turn around and go back home because we'd made him go out in such weather. We pretended to do our math homework – there was way too much of it, as usual – but we were too nervous to do anything more than pretend.
The truth was, no one seemed to have heard of Merryvale Stables, not even our riding instructor, Karen.
But, someone had mailed notices from Merryvale.
Very strange notices.
Instead of the usual, cheap colored sheets that stables send out, these had been made of an intensely white paper with a fancy, bright-blue script that glowed and smelled of horses and hay -- the most wonderful smell in the world. The word spelled out the oddest message:
MERRYVALE STABLES
