Teaser Tuesday

Hi friends!

Here’s a snippet of Breaking Fences:

He was working on untacking the horses, while Carl hosed them down, and another man brought the tack inside the stables. Eyeing Midnight Dream, I dismounted close to them, and started unbuckling Pepper’s saddle. If they let me, I would do it all myself. Midnight saw me and slowly approached me. He poked my back with his muzzle while I unstrapped Pepper’s saddle.

“You want to play, big boy?” He poked me again, snickering. I laughed.

The trainer came out of the stables, and I froze with the saddle on my arms. Midnight Dream shot away from me, and not having seen or recognized me, the trained chased after the horse for a couple of minutes until he finally caught his reins.

The trainer turned to bring the horse to the stables and halted, his eyes on me.

“What are you doing here?” Garrett asked. His brows knotted in a deep frown.

I forced myself to move and set the saddle over the fence. “Riding.” I kicked my foot in the air, showing off my black and white cowboy boots. “Did you think these were just for show?” I picked up a hose. “And you’re a trainer here?”

Without acknowledging my question, he led the horse inside.

I began hosing Pepper off and she snickered in delight.

A moment later, Garrett was by my side. He took the hose from me. “I’m an instructor, a trail guide, a trainer, caretaker, handyman, and everything else in between.” He washed Pepper’s hot coat. “I work here full time.”

“Of all the places I could have chosen to ride,” I whispered, taking a step back.

Hope you liked it!

Cheers,
