When I woke up I felt an arm around me. I looked and Austin had his arm around me. He was still sleeping. I tried getting up but Austin put both arms around me. I could see him smiling. "No you're not going's anywhere" Austin said. I laughed. "Baby it's 10" I told him. Looking at him he shook his head. Austin wouldn't let go.

We stayed in bed for an hour before getting up. I didn't have to go to set today so I thought it would be nice if I go ride my horse.

Okay little backstory about me I loved horses when I was little. I started taking lessons a little later than everybody else. I was 12 when I started riding. When I was 15 I got my first horse named Italy. Italy is a brown paint mare with a full white face. Italy was 7 when I first got her. It's been 7 years since then.

I got to the bathroom to get on some breeches with a blue shirt tucked in. I put my hair up because I don't like it in my face when I'm riding.

Once I was done getting ready I got out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. Austin looked up from the couch. "Would you like to come with me to see Italy" I asked Austin. Austin smiled. "Yes" he said with smile on his face. Austin got up and kissed my cheek.

After Austin was done getting ready we got into the car and headed to the barn. On our way we stopped to get coffee because Austin and me can't live without it. While also listening to One Direction in the car.

We were close to the barn and I could see white fencing. It only took like 15 minutes to get to the barn where I lived and that was a plus of living in South Carolina.

We drove threw the gates of the barn and saw horses eating grass.

When we parked the car I was excited about seeing Italy. I usually ride her a couple a times a week because I'm busy but my best friend rides her for me when I can't make it.

Going into the barn I already saw Italy in her stall waiting. Mara my best friend sense 6th grade was giving her fresh water. "We'll look who finally show's up" Mara said. "I know" I told her. Once she was done filling water she gave me a hug.

"So you don't have set today" Mara asked. "Nope". Mara handed me a brush and I knew what she meant. "Two person job" Mara smiled. I nodded my head. We went into Italy's stall to brush her before I ride her. "So is Austin here" she asked. "Yeah I think he went to go pet horses outside" I told her.

Austin came in 5 seconds after I said that. "Hi Mara" Austin said. "Hi". Austin and Mara No each other from me we hang out a lot together.

Once Mara and me brushed and picked out her hooves we went in the tack room to see which saddle pad I was going to wear today. I opened the closet to reveal lots and lots of saddle pads. "Good lord how many do you have now" Mara said. "I thought you knew how many I have from riding her" I asked. "I use my own". I nodded my head. "Plus I don't want to mess up all this".

"I don't know which one to put on her" I said. Austin pointed to a blue saddle pad that matched my shirt. I took it out into the light so I could see it better. It was perfect. "Thank you" I said while kissing his cheek. I also got a matching ear bonnet to go with it.

We headed back to Italy's stall and I put on the saddle pad with also a black half pad because it goes with everything. Mara kindly got my saddle for me. I put it on her and put the girth up 2 holes on each side. Next I did the bridal which she takes easily.

Once I have my helmet and tall boots on we head into the arena. There was some jumps out but I didn't want to jump her because she's already been jumped this week. Austin and Mara watched me. I got on her using a mounting block in the corner. We started walking. "How does she feel" Mara asked. "Pretty good" I said.

We picked up the trot doing a direction change because Italy was getting bored of the other direction. Austin videoed me. Italy and I did a couple more circles of trotting then we picked it up to a canter.

I loved Italy's canter so much. It was like a rocking horse. I could sit there all day if I wanted to. Italy and I did circles in both directions. Once I felt good about my ride I decided that we could call it quits for the day.

I got off Italy in the center and ran up my stir ups. "That looked good" Mara said. "Thank you". We went back to her stall and took her bridle off. Austin was standing in the door way of her stall. He was smiling. "What" I said looking at him. "I like seeing you happy" he said. I smiled back at him. Austin took more pictures of Italy and me. Mara helped me untack her sense it's a two person job.

Once she had everything off I put her hater on and gave her a treat. I put her back in her field with 2 other mares. Austin gave me a piggy bank ride back to the barn so I could drop off her halter.

Once I was done cleaning I said goodbye to Mara. "Please text me I know you don't text me" she said. "Yes okay I will" I told her. Austin poked my shoulder. "Do you want another piggy back ride" he asked. I couldn't say no to him plus my feet kinda hurt. I jumped onto his back.

I took out my phone on the way to the car to take a picture of us. "I'm posting it on Instagram". Austin just smiled. We got to the car and Austin let me down. "Alright are you hungry" Austin asked. "Yeah". "What do you want" he asked. I smiled. "Starbucks" Austin said. I nodded my head. "What they have good sandwiches there". He laughed at me.
