Saddle Sore (2013)
“John Brightstar was already there, haltering a gorgeous chestnut gelding.
Lisa went up to greet him. “Tex looks marvelous!” she said. “He’s really added some muscle since we saw him last.”
John smiled proudly. “He needs it now. You should see what he can do.” Tex was John’s horse, and John had been training him to do reining, the most precise and elegant form of Western riding. Reining was similar to dressage in English riding.
“Come with us,” Lisa said. “We’re going to warm up in the side padd...ock for a few minutes, and then we’re taking Emily on her first Western trail ride.”
John smiled wryly. “Why do you think I’m out here?” he asked. “Kate already invited me. I even got up early, to get my work done first.”
“Great,” Lisa said. Something about the way John smiled always made her stomach feel pleasantly uneasy. She often wished John lived a little closer—like, in Willow Creek, or at least in the state of Virginia. Sometimes they wrote to each other, but it was hard to keep a long-distance friendship going.MoreLess
