As they got closer, I called out, “Hey, look at you! You graduated from brushing Mo to riding him!” Her smile grew from ear to ear. “He’s so sweet! It’s like he is so happy I’m riding him.” I laughed. “He is, trust me. Mo loves to be ridden. It’s his favorite thing, next to eating oats.” Candace giggled as she brought the horse to a stop. Wyatt took a step back and looked up. “Would you like help getting down?” She shook her head. “I’ve got this.”

Candace took a deep breath and did exactly what Wyatt had said. When both feet hit the ground, she beamed with pride. Turning to me, she exclaimed, “I did it. I did it, Skylar! I did it!” She rushed over to me and threw her arms around me.
