"I'm not really sure," I said as I looked around. "You can chose, I'm up for anything!"
"Well, you can ride the horses. You can also walk down near the pond if you want to," he said as he looked at me.
"I love horses, so is it OK if we ride?" I asked looking back at him.
"I'm not aloud on the horses but I would be happy to watch you ride miss," he said smiling at me. I nodded my head and started to walk into the stable, but then I heard a loud shreik coming from the other side of the barn. I started to walk towards where I had heard the shrieking. I saw a buckskin mare rearing and bucking while 3 men tried to grab a hold of her halter.
I ran up to them, and climbed over the fence of a small arena. "Stop!" I yelled as I tried to get the men to stop what they were doing. They started to say something in Italian, and gestured for me to leave the arena. I looked over to the man that had accompanied me outside. He immediatly understood that I had no idea what these men were saying to me.
"They said that it is too dangerous for you to be in there. That horse is wild and hasn't yet been trained. They want you to leave," he said coming closer to the arena fence.
"Tell them to give me the lead rope and I'll calm her down!" I said quicky.
He said something in Italian and the 3 men hesitantly left after handing me the lead rope. I slowly set the lead rope on the ground and sat cross-legged down on the sandy ground. The buckskin mare calmed down almost instantly and just stood there looking at me.
