Amy drove along the gravel road in her truck, the trailer banging noisily behind. This was the first time she was going out on the trails, and both her and her horse, Spartan, where excited to get out there. I think we're here!"... She thought to herself, as she turned into a wide parking spot, just before the begginning of the trails. Stepping out of the truck, her dark blonde bangs fell into her green eyes. "I'm coming, Spartan." She told him with a laugh, as she could see his eye looking through the little window at her. Walking to the back of the trailer, she pulled hard to open the latch, and Spartan was right there, as if he was wondering what on earth could be taking so long. Amy clipped the leadrope to his halter, and lead him out, his dark black coat glistening in the sun's rays.
Amy walked over to the hitching post, and tied him up before he could stick his nose in the snow, looking for any grass. "I'll be right back." She told him, and walked to the side door of the trailer, to grab the saddle and bridle. She slung the bridle onto her shoulder, and carried the heavy western saddle in her arms. Amy rode both western and english, but decided on western for the trail ride. Once she reached Spartan, she rested the saddle onto the rail so she could put his bridle on. Once the leather bridle was on him, she smoothed out the saddle blanket on his back, then lifted the saddle up to his back, and slung it over.
Spartan looked back at her as she did up the girth. "I know, boy, this is the part you hate." She told him, as he did not like something pulling on his tummy. Although, once she was finished, he was perfectly happy, especially when Amy offered him a treat from her pocket. "All set? Let's go!" Her soft voice sang out to him, putting her left foot into the stirrup, and heaving herself up on his back. Happy that he could finally stretch his legs, Spartan tossed his head, as if to say, "Alright! Finally!"
