Chapter 10
There were ten stalls in total, with five on either side of a central walkway through the stables.
âAre all of these full?â I asked.
âThey are,â Billy replied proudly. âMight have to build another barn at this rate.â
The moment they saw Billy, the horses whinnied and stamped their hooves with excitement.
âTheyâre happy,â Kaz giggled.
âThey know itâs time to be let out,â Billy chuckled. âCome on, weâll get âem into the paddock, and you can see âem run. Can one of you open that door at the far end?â
Prinna immediately walked over and pushed open the large double doors on the other side of the barn, and sunlight flooded into the dark building.
Izzie and Farrah kept close to me as Billy started unbolting the stall doors, but there was a curious light dancing in my loversâ eyes, and I hoped it wouldnât take long before they felt more comfortable around the four-legged beasts.
The first horse Billy let out neighed joyously, then it trotted down the walkway and out into the paddock.
Astrea leaned over one of the stalls and started stroking a gray horse.
âDo you need any help getting them out?â she asked Billy over her shoulder.
âThat would be appreciated, miss,â he replied as he opened another stall.
My beautiful inventor and Billy quickly made their way down the line of stalls, and one by one, the horses trotted out into the sunlight with a series of happy whinnies and snorts.
âTheyâre big,â Farrah whispered. âIâm not sure how I feel about riding one.â
âYouâll be okay,â I said in a reassuring voice.
Billy paused before the last stall, and he shot us a proud smile.
âYou know that mare I was telling you about, Dancer?â he asked. âThe one who saved my life out there? Well, sheâs recently foaled, every bit as perfect as she is. Take a look.â
He slid the bolt across and pulled open the stall door. He murmured a few soft words, and a dappled gray horse slowly walked out. Following the horse was a leggy foal with exactly the same markings, and it had huge, dark eyes that observed everything with a kind of innocent wonder. It kept close by its mother at all times, and the pair ambled down the walkway and out through the doors.
âOh, how cute!â Prinna said as they passed.
âGorgeous, arenât they?â Billy grinned. âIâve named the filly Prancer.â
âDancer and Prancer,â Prinna laughed. âI love that.â
Once theyâd gone outside, Billy grabbed some bridles and ropes, then he beckoned for us to follow him.
âIâm guessing yâall havenât ridden before?â he asked.
âI have,â Astrea replied. âIâve been around horses most of my life.â
âExcellent,â the eight-fingered man replied. âThat explains why youâre so comfortable around them. What about the rest of yous?â
âI rode a few times when I was younger,â I said. âBut Iâm not exactly an expert, so some instruction would be handy.â
âAnd the rest of us are pretty much novices,â Kaz explained. âSo, we might need some help.â
Billy nodded. âI can give you a basic lesson and some pointers. Itâs not as hard as you might think.
