it was nice to be able to bring two of them in together. jill liked riding at a place where she wasn't overly supervised, though she wished for their sake they'd asked her to sign a waiver. too bad she couldn't seem to make a living giving out just that sort of advice.
her ponies were agreeable about it, despite all the awkwardness of not know how the gate worked or any kind of protocol for going through the door. it was nice to see them out together, though she could see from the old guy's nervousness that the little guy was tough.
tomorrow she would have to remember to put the saddle in the car, and a lunch. before going off to do the morning chores. she thought she would just muck in her riding pants, so as to save time.
