Of all the fun during my youth, I would have to say living the ranch life is what I miss the most, of the many chores within ranch life it was breaking and riding the horses.

I flipped the TV back to channel 53 to some TV show about horses. "I love horses," Emily said. "I grew up in the country, and we used to go riding all the time. I h...
A few hours later Leanna woke up. She sat up in bed quickly and looked around, realizing it hadn't been a dream, she was home. "Feeling better?" Leanna turned her head and saw her father sitting in a chair next to her bed. "Yes," she said quietly. "I feel much better." "Good. Mom's got dinner ready, are you hungry?"
