Terri arrived at the barn, smiling and jogging up to the window. She kept smiling when she saw another girl riding a horse. She had watched tons of movies on horses and now she finally got to ride one herself.

Lilly finished with Erin and told her to cool off. "You did well today."
She walked out and said, "Hi, I'm Lilly."

{Erin?}
"I'm Terri." Terri replied, quietly, keeping her hand in her pocket.

"Okay, well then today you'll be riding Bo, and if you like her you'll keep riding her, but if not you'll ride Copper next time, okay?"

"Alright." Terri stood there, waiting anxiously to tack up and groom for the first time.

"Okay, now I'll help you get her from outside. She's half-retired, so I don't use her that much. She's in the first pasture on your left, but first I'll show you how the tack room works." She let Terri into the tack room. "This is Bo's locker. It has her saddle, bridle, halter, saddle pads, everything in here. When go to get a horse, you use a halter." She showed Terri the halter then began showing her to the pastrue.

"Okay, good," said Lilly, "Do you know how to put one on?" She shut the gate behind them and whistled loudly. "Bo was my niece's first pony. We've had her for 10 years, she comes at anything we do really."

"Yeah." Said Lilly, who was just trying to say something instead of just letting stuff stretch the silence. "You always do everything on the horse from the left side, so that's the side you put the halter on from, what side you mount on, stuff like that."

"All right." Terri said again, approaching the horse and patting her on the left side.

"Good," said Lilly, handing Terri the halter. "Now face me," she was standing at the horse's head, "And see if you can figure out which part of the halter goes over her nose." It was still latched at the top.

Terri grabbed the halter and saw a big loop, wrapping it around the nose of the horse.
