The New Stable Hand, chapter 1
~Introduction~
My name is Sydney..but everyone calls me Syd. I have blond hair, I'm like 5 feet tall. I am not skinny, but not fat. I am a champion horseback rider in 3 day eventing (for all you who don't know what that is, it is dressage one day, cross-country another day, and show jumping the last day). I own a 6 year old Chestnut Thoroughbred Stallion named Drummer Boy. I work to board Drummer Boy at my Uncles Barn, (my parents travel the world showing horses). I also play the Drums, Guitar, and Bass. I am 13 years old.
~*End of introduction*~
I was cleaning Drummer Boy's stall when her Uncle Jim came out to talk.
"I have to go for a couple of days to go look at some horse. Zach's Dad will be watching the barn, and we have a new Stable Hand coming later to just look at the barn, his name is Frank..but he said to call him Tre. I want you to show him around..and maybe he will help you muck out the stalls!" Uncle Jim said.
"Ok, does he have a horse? If so do you care if I take to rest of the day off to go riding with him?"
"Yes, he does. He is a Black Thoroughbred Gelding. His name is Drumstick. And you can take the day off to go riding afterwards...and you two can jump but no higher than 3 feet when no one is around." Her Uncle said and then walked away.
~Later that day~
I saw a boy....walking around all confused. He came up to me and asked,
"Are you Sydney?"
"Yup thats me...but please call me Syd. You must be Tre?" I asked
"Yea, uhh the boss said you would know where I could put my horse, Drumstick?"
"Yea, right next to my horse....your horse isn't mean towards other horses right? Because my Stallion tends to try to fight back..." I told him
"No, he's really well mannered" Tre said
I sighed in relief.
"If you want you can bring him to his stall or put him out in the feild...my Uncle gave me the rest of the day off so you and me could ride...but if you want to catch him in the field later that fine."
"I'll put him in his stall," he told me while going to get Drumstick.
He soon put Drumstick away and begin to look around. Syd gave him the tour of the barn and then went to grab Drummer Boy's work-out boots. We soon started to get ready to ride. I was done in like a second because all I had to put on was Drummer Boy's work-out boots.
" I'll wait for you," I said. "But let me go get my helmet."
"Aren't you gonna use a saddle or anything?" He asked kinda shocked.
"No, I've had him since he was born and he has enough trust in me that I only use them sometimes...and today I'm just gonna take it easy...how high do you jump?" I asked.
"Oh, thats cool..I jump like 3 feet," he said.
"Oh, good because thats the highest we are aloud to jump without someone there."
On their way out Tre said,
"Would you like to meet my friends?" He asked her.
"Yeah, that would be cool...well you wanna get your friends and I'll get my two best friends and we can go out to a party place I know of." I told him.
"Oh, ok that would be cool!"
