CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

One of the next times Zoe came to John’s to ride she found him in the ring watching a kid trot around on Dibs. What must have been the kid’s trainer was standing next to John.

Zoe didn’t want to interrupt so she went into the barn and started grooming Gidget. A few minutes later, the three of them walked up to the barn.

“Thanks,” the trainer said. “We’ll be in touch.”

Zoe had never seen the trainer before—she must have been a real local. She had full seat breeches on and really poorly-fitting dress boots, which meant she probably didn’t do many big shows. The girl with her had one of those helmet covers in hot pink.

After they’d left, Zoe said, “How’d that go?”

“Let’s see, a young, green hunter for a girl who started riding a year ago? Probably not the best match.”

“Yikes,” Zoe said.

“I should have just told them no the minute they got here. I can’t tell you how many tire-kickers I get. It’s like people have nothing better to do than go around trying horses that are completely wrong for them. Some are so bad I just say no over the phone but you want to sell the horse . . . speaking of, I’m in for Lake Placid.”

Zoe brightened. “Are you sure?”

“It’s not like I’m going across the world. They’ll call me if they need me and I’ll go home.”

“Okay,” Zoe said. “Lake Placid here we come! Who do you want to take, besides Gidget?”

“I was thinking Gidget, Cruz, and Dibs. I already asked a girl I know from a local barn to ride the others. She isn’t amazing but she can get them out and hack them around. And my stall guy’s looking for extra work so he’s more than happy to do the rest of the barn work. I can do Cruz in the jumpers and would you ride Dibs in the pre-greens?”

“I’d love to,” Zoe said.
