Flying by *Open*

[glider]

London rode her mare, Beezy, out to the trails. She wanted to get one last ride in before it started to snow. It was freezing and London forgot to bring a jacket with her when she came to the barn. She couldn't avoid riding just because of the cold though, Beezy would get restless and the next day would be a complete nightmare.

Beezy couldn't just walk, today was no lazy day and she was ready to go full throttle. Sometimes London thought that the mare would be a better Cross Country horse. Then London would realize that the mare could be clumsy when she went too fast. Beezy trotted quickly down the road to the trails, she needed to let off some steam but jumping wouldn't do the trick.

The two spotted the long stretch of land between the trees and the horse started to pick up her pace. London allowed her mare to do so, there wasn't anyone around. Quickly, the two got off into a gallop. They turned a corner and the mare almost ran them into a tree. London simply rolled her eyes and kept her going.

The two rounded another corner and suddenly a huge fallen tree blocked their path. Beezy put on the brakes so fast that London was almost launched out of the saddle. The horse whinnied loudly and unexpectedly. It wasn't out of her character though, the mare tended to do things suddenly without warning.

"Where are we going to go now, girlie?" London said to Beezy while patting her neck. The could go around it? They could go back to the barn? The two stood there and Beezy got more and more restless just standing there looking at the tree.

London decided to turn back due to the cold and the fact that it would be difficult to maneuver the horse and rider around the tree twice. Beezy tried to go into a gallop suddenly and London pulled back on the reins. The white mare decided that a brisk trot would work too. London and Beezy made their way half way back to the barn when they heard leaves crunch in the bushes. Beezy stopped suddenly, once again, amost launching the girl out of her seat.

What was it?

[Sebastian James Miller]

well there's gone for good
and there's good and gone
then there's gone with the long before it
i wish she'd been just a little more clear
there's gone for the day
and gone for the night
gone for the rest of your dog-gone life
is it whiskey night or just a couple of beers
i mean what kinda gone
are we talkin' 'bout here;

It wasn't the best day for a trail ride, but Sebastian needed to exercise his stallion. He carried his three year old daughter into the barn on his hip; the little girl all excited and bundled up from the cold. She loved horses and she absolutely loved being on the back of a horse. It was cold, but Sebastian had bundled up the girl quite nicely and figured it would be okay to take her out on a trail ride. Behind the pair, a brown and white husky trailed them obediently. Maya, the husky, was a great dog for the pair. She was protective, but she was gentle enough for anyone to pet her as long as they didn't pose a threat to either Emily or Sebastian. The man walked towards his Paint's stall, and set Emily down outside of it. Emily began to play with the dog, chasing her playfully throughout the barn.

Sebastian quickly tacked up Shadow, and tied him up outside of his stall. He went in search of Emily, and found her playing hide and seek with the husky in the tack room. He swooped Emily into his arms and blew a raspberry on her stomach, making her giggle. He headed back to the stallion, and whistled for the dog to follow. Back at the horse, he placed the girl on the horse's back. "Hold on tight, Em," he said and led the horse outside of the barn. Once outside, Sebastian placed his foot in the stirrup and swung himself up behind his daughter. He headed out towards the trails, placing the horse at a steady trot. Maya followed the horse, but stopped here and there to sniff out interesting things. This was the usual for the four of them. Emily had always been at Sebastian's side since the day she was born.

Emily's mother had cheated on Sebastian, even while she was pregnant with the girl. Once the paternity test was established, Sebastian won full custody of the girl and moved to Addison to get away from his worst nightmare. He didn't want anything to do with his past anymore. Emily was his life now, and of course he now owned a store up here. Maybe the store would help him get over his bad habits and quirks. Maya ran up ahead of the horse, out of Sebastian's sight. But he wasn't worried about her. She was familiar with these trails by now, and it was fine for her to go run around. Sebastian's arms enclosed his daughter as he held on to the stallion's reins. He followed Maya and found a girl and her horse stopped. "Hey," he called out, hoping to get her attention.
