Chapter 52
Tory and Dave arrived at Sue's a few minutes later, and once again Dave assisted Tory out of the truck. Sue and Brandon came out of the barn to greet them. The guys shook hands, and the girls hugged each other.
"It sure is a beautiful day for a ride, Dave. I'm so glad you thought of it. It's always more fun to ride with a group than alone. Although, Brandon prefers to ride alone early in the morning before dawn, and I'm afraid the horse will stumble into a hole or something," Sue said as she smiled at her husband with adoration in her eyes.
Miguel, their ranch foreman, had already saddled up the four chosen horses, and they were ready to ride within fifteen minutes. Sue led the way with Brandon following her in single file, then Tory and Dave bringing up the rear.
The cool, fresh wind blew gently through Tory's hair. The tails and manes of the horses flew freely in the breeze. It had been some time since Tory had ridden, but it came back to her as easily as riding a bike.
