Franki waited outside the gate of the barn. Her parents felt bad that they bought Franki 2 horses, and her sister only got lessons, so after a long month of begging, her sister was finally getting her own pony...and boarding her at RHS. Franki wasn't to thrilled about it, she enjoyed having the time off at the barn, not having to watch her little sister, and now she would have to be watching her like a hawk. She watched as the Ford truck drove in, with the trailer behind it. It was a rather small trailer, but then again, it was a rather small pony. Franki's sister jumped out of the truck and ran to the back of the trailer, but Franki caught her by the shoulder. "You cant just run up to a horse Jenna, you have to do it carefully, now stay here and watch while I bring her out."
Jenna sat on a stone as she watched her sister bring out her new pony "I could've done that" she mumbled to herself. She got up and walked over to her new pony, Pinky she called her, she grabbed the lead rope "Ill take that now, thank you very much" she snapped at Franki. Franki rolled her eyes, and followed after her. "You should bring her out to her paddock and spend some time with her first" Franki suggested. "But I wanna ride!" Jenna whined. "Im the one here with 2 horses, and im watching you, now give her a day to settle in before riding, moving to a new home can be stressful for some horses" Franki spoke sternly. Jenna rolled her eyes, but did as her sister asked, and brought Pinky out to her paddock. She walked in, took off the lead shank, and let Pinky run around and figure out her new home. She sat in the middle of the field watching her. "JENNA STAND UP YOU IDIOT!!" Franki screamed at Jenna "DO YOU WANT TO GET RUN OVER?!?!?" Jenna stood up as fast as possible, spooking Pinky, making her run away, bucking. Franki hit her head on the fence "What am I gonna do she's driving me crazy" she mumbled to herself. She calmed herself down, and jumped over the fence into the paddock. She walked up to Jenna "Now watch what im about to do, and watch carefully". Franki followed Pinky around the paddock, walking calmly. As soon as she slowed down she starting trotting beside her, and then cantering. Eventually Pinky walked when she walked, and followed her commands, walking into the middle with her to meet Jenna. "There, now do that yourself" Franki snapped "Bond with your horse, its not all about the riding" Franki turned around and walked away, back to the barn. Jenna watched her go, staring at Pinky, wide-eyed.
