"Hello class," Elisha Jane Heartilly beams at her pupils. "did you have a nice weekend?"
"Yes, Ma'am." The class answers, and mounts their horses.
"Good. Today, first off, I need to introduce you to a new student. Class, meet Darian Wilson, and her horse, Morocco." A young, sixth-grade girl and her horse, a tall, Blood Bay stallion, ride into the room, smiles, and waves. "Darian, a couple quick questions. First, where did you live before you moved to Chestnut Hill?"
"I lived in Sterling, Colorado, a small town in the northeastern corner of the state."
"Hey! That's where I came from too! Who are your parents?"
"Luke and Tammi Wilson."
"I know them! Tell them hi for me, would ya?"
"Sure!!"
"Ok, next question. Class, do you have any for Darian?"
A girl in the back raises her hand. "Darian, Tell us about your horse."
"Ok, here goes;
Name: MoRocco Pontsetta (Rock).
Age: 3 yrs.
Gender: Male, Stallion.
Breed: Purebred Arabian.
Dam: SoRocco Sahara.
Sire: Marsstar Pontsetta.
First of all, Rock is my absolute best friend, without him, I'd probably be dead through my own hand. He truly is a lifesaver.
Second, he was the envy of the Sterling trail riding class. He went faster, had better footing, and acted better than any other horse there. I am so glad I have him."
Satisfied, the class begins whispering among themselves. Elisha calls them to order. "O.k, class, today we will learn what to do when your horse spooks."
Darian pops her head in and asks, "Who should I say the hello is from? I know your first name is Elisha. What's your last name?"
"Heartilly." Elisha replies, not taking the chance to look up from her paperwork.
"Woah, a Fred Heartilly relative?"
"Yep. He's my dad."
"but he told us he had no children..."
"He has Parkinson's, Darian. He forgets things. That's why."
"Oh. Well, See you tomorrow."
"See you." Elisha beams as Darian leaves, and as she does, Elisha concludes that, for sure, she loves her job.
