Hi I love them

“C’mon, hurry up!” Carter commanded, quite literally dragging Amelia and I down the sand path to the barn. Today felt like a normal day to me, but with Carter dragging us to the barn like this, who knows what‘s waiting for us behind the barn doors.

”Okay, okay, hurrying,” I said, letting him continue to drag. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach, fluttering as they always did when I got to go to the barn. Just being here always puts me in the best possible mood I can be in.

I turned to look at Amelia, seeing the wistful smile she has on her face.

Upon reaching the barn, I stopped in my footsteps, Amelia doing the same.

“Surprise!” Carter, my parents, and Holly said together. Standing in front of us were two beautiful horses, one chestnut, and one bay, with bows tied on their necks.

“...What?” Amelia mumbled, my mouth falling open.

“They’re yours!” Carter said, beaming. I covered my mouth with my hands, standing in shock. They were gorgeous.

“Amelia, the chestnut is yours. Mckenna, yours is the bay,” Holly said, chuckling at our reactions.

I ran up to my new horse (mine. oh my gosh.) and hugged him. I pulled back, then mumbled “...how?”, turning to hug my dad.

“Holly’s girlfriend, Cameron,” he said, as I cut him off. “The one who retrains Triple C’s thoroughbreds?” I pulled out of the hug, looking over at the horse. Definitely a thoroughbred.

“Yes. Cameron gave us three of her off-the-track thoroughbreds, one for you, one for Amelia, and one for Holly.” he said, smiling.

Amelia was still hugging her horse, the beautiful chestnut having the happiest look on her face. I could tell Amelia was smiling.

“Wait. How trained are they?” I said, rubbing the bay’s neck, noticing how he flinched slightly when I touched him, not expecting it.

“Pretty green. These two have both been started over fences, but are very new to it. They will both need some training from me,” Holly responded, smiling happily. I walked over to Carter, seeing the smug, but also overjoyed look on his face. I hugged him as well, now understanding why he was so insistent that we hurry to the barn or we’ll be late.

I look up and see Amelia hugging my dad. She deserves this.

“What’re their names?” Amelia asked, pulling out of my dad’s embrace and setting her eyes on Holly.

“Yours is Belle. She was shown under the race name 3C’s Bellini. Kenna, yours is Beau, he was shown under the race name 3C’s Bungalow.”

Beau and Belle. I love it. “Thank you,” I said, to no-one in particular, not being able to keep the smile off of my face. The future going to be incredible, I just know it.
