"Jon! Leave me alone!" Alli hollered. Jon grinned and once again raised the leash out of her reach. "Jon! I need to walk Roxanne!" Susan leaned out of the tack room where she was cleaning tack and said, "Leave your sister alone, Jon." Alli smirked and grabbed the leash out of her 15 year old brother's hand. She walked out to the truck and opened the cab. Her golden retriever, Roxanne, jumped out and Alli hooked the leash onto the excited dog and walked her down the road. Then she took the leash off of Roxanne and let her play with Jenny's dogs. Alli threw the leash in the truck and went into the barn, she heard Jon whine, "Why are you training Montana to do an event that I don't know how to do?" Susan sighed and said, "Mikki is going to give you lessons as soon as I find an experienced barrel racer for you to ride." Alli picked up a lead shank and went out to the mare field. She saw her arabian filly, Feather, canter up to greet her. Alli smiled and clipped the lead shank to Feather's sky blue halter. Alli saw her mom's dressage mare, Delilah standing side by side with a mare named Ginger. When Alli got to the barn, she curried Feather's silky coat. Then Alli tacked up the pretty filly. As she went out of the barn, Alli hooked on her helmet. She put one foot in her stirrup and swung onto Feather's back. She felt Feather's supple walk and silently thanked her mom for working with her horse. Alli walked around once each way before giving Feather the signal to trot. Feather bounced into a springy, airy trot. After about 15 minutes of serpintines, Alli asked Feather to canter. The filly took off, in a smooth flowing canter. Alli saw Jenny's daughter, Cassidy, standing by the arena. She waved, "Hi Alli, you look really great on Feather." Cassidy said. Alli blushed and said, "We still have a lot of work to do. Did you hear that my mom wants to lease Pride?" Cassidy said, "No way! If she does, maybe you'll get to ride him." The two girls began to get deep into conversation when Susan called, "Alli? I have to get home, can you untack Feather real quick?" "Sure, Mom." Alli replied, saying bye to Cassidy. She walked into the barn and untacked Feather. She put the horse back in the field giving her an apple before she left. She whistled and Roxanne ran up to her. They both hopped in the truck and Susan drove them home.
