Taytum caught the towel easily and dried off, wrapping the towel around her shoulders afterwards.

"Yeah, we can head back now," she agreed

"Okay!" She grabbed her clothes from the saddle bag and her boots from by the horse hitch. "I'll see ya back at the barn Brennan" she said as she walked to the bathrooms to change.

"cya!" Brennan called after her.

Charlie changed in the bathrooms, then walked out and over to Apple. She stood by the horses waiting for Taytum to change.

Brennan had left already. He needed to work Appache a little more before he brought the mare back for his 10 year old sister to ride.

Taytum quickly changed out of her swimsuit and threw her wet hair up in a bun. Then she walked out and unties Wish's halter, then she put Wish's bridle back on and mounted up.

"You ready to go?" She asked Charlie.

(Sorry for not posting lately, I had a busy week!)

It's okay, so have I))

"yup," Charlie said as she untied Apple. She mounted up and turned Apple.

Taytum rode back towards the stable on Wish next to Charlie, thinking about seeing Darius later. She got lost in her thoughts and tuned out what was going on around her.

Charlie sat atop Apple as the mare ampered down the trail. Apple stopped and stuck her head down to eat some grass. Charlie pulls the mares head up, then nudges her to catch up to Wish and Taytum.

Taytum didn't even notice Charlie come up beside her and startled as she snapped out of her thoughts. Wish pranced, throwing her head high in the air.

"Sorry girl," Taytum murmured softly to the mare. "That's my fault."

"Sorry," Charlie looked to her sister. "Wanna canter a bit?" She asked. Apple pranced and tossed her head a little. Even though Charlie haven't used Apple for rodeo in 2 years, the mare still had a spunky personality.

"Of course!" Taytum exclaimed. She slid her outside leg back and pressed her inside leg on, asking Wish for a canter. wish bounded into it tossing her head up but Taytum steadyed her and she balanced out, her canter becoming very smooth to ride.

Apple tossed her head and cantered after Wish. Charile smiled and edged the mare faster. Apple broke into a slow gallop. ''Catch me if you can!'' Charlie called out.
