Tom laughed to Serena. "I'm fine, I'm used to it," he said. He smiled thankfully to Taylor and walked over to get his pony. "Thanks," he said when he reached them. He took Cola's reins and glared at the pony. Cola dipped his head and looked at Tom sheepishly. Tom laughed and ruffled Cola's forelock. "Can't be mad at you with a face like that, can I kiddo?" Tom laughed. "Thanks again," he smiled to Taylor. He tightened Cola's girth one hole just to be on the safe side, and then mounted his cheeky pony again, making him walk, trot and canter at least once around the ring. Bringing him back to the middle and halting, Tom rubbed Cola's neck. "There we go," he said quietly, a small smile on his face.

"Well done, Tom." said Serena, glad that he wasn't scared to get back on, like some people were.

"That was great, Tom," Taylor said, smiling at him and Cola.

Tom smiled. "I've had him just over a year," he said, giving Cola a rub. "How long've you had Duke for?" he asked Serena. He knew that the horse Taylor had was a lesson horse, Blue. "Do you have your own horse, Taylor?" he asked her.

"Yes, I have my own horse, Skylar, but she's out with her filly, Tempest right now," Taylor said, smiling.

"Too cute!" Tom grinned. "How old is Tempest? What breed are they? Awww!" he said. He laughed. "Sorry...I love foals," he said with a grin. "I learned how to ride on a stud farm and the foals were definitely my favourite part of it," he said.

"Tempest's a little over one month old, she a Paintabian, and Skylar's a Paint Horse," Taylor said, smiling at Tom. "I'd like to train Tempest to become an eventing horse!"

Serena smiled "I've had Duke about three years now, I think." she looked at Taylor. "Aw, cute! I'd love to meet your mare and the filly!"

"You can go see them any time, Serena," Taylor said, nodding. "I've had Skylar since I was eleven."

Serena smiled. "Aww, thanks! And, that's cute. The horse I had before Duke, I'd had sicne I was 10."

"It's nice when you get to own them for such a long time, isn't it?" Taylor asked, smiling.

"I could never sell Skylar, it would break my heart!" Taylor said solemnly.

Serena nodded. "Well, my other horse, Danny, is like, 20, so I gave him to my little cousin, she's just starting to ride."

Tom smiled. "That's cool!" he said to both of them. "I've only had Cola for a year, but I wouldn't trade him for the world," he said, rubbing Cola's mane with a smile.

"You really do, he seems to match you perfectly!" Taylor smiled at Serena and Tom.

Tom laughed. "Seems to me that everyone finds that one horse that's like their best friend," he said. "You can have a million horses in your life, but there's usually only one that'll stick in you," he said, brushing a hand down Cola's shoulder. He smiled, knowing that Cola was his one and only horse.

Serena nodded. "Yeah. Duke's mine." she patted his strong neck. She leant foward and wrapped her arms round his neck. Duke blew out contently, and dropped his head a little.

Tom smiled. he was glad that everyone here had been lucky enough to find their special horse. He watched as Serena leaned down and hugged Duke's neck, and he smiled. He gave Cola a gentle slap on the shoulder, and the pony danced on the spot. Tom laughed. "Hey, wanna see something I taught Cola?" he asked the other two, suddenly remembering something the pony could do super well.

Tom grinned cheekily, then looked to Serena. "How about you?" he asked, rubbing Cola's neck gently to stop the gelding from prancing so much.

"'Course I wanna see!" she said, her arms still around Duke.

Tom grinned. "Okay, okay!" he said. He kicked his feet out of his stirrups and jumped off his pony. Cola looked at him and puffed a warm breath all over Tom. Tom laughed and rubbed his pony's face. "Ready then?" he asked the others with a wink. He stood in front of Cola and secured his reins around Cola's neck. Lifting an arm up, Tom grinned and said "Up!" Cola jumped up in a rear that lasted for a couple of seconds before landing. Tom smiled. "Good boy!" he said. Giving the command again, Tom once more lifted up his arm. Cola reared again, his black mane flipping in the air. Tom held up a hand. "Hold it," he said, keeping Cola in the air. The pony shifted on his hind legs, trying to keep balance. Tom walked a few paces backward, beckoning to Cola. The little pony obediently followed on his hind legs for a couple of steps before landing on all four legs again. "Good boy!" Tom praised him, hugging Cola's neck. The pony nipped him gently and snorted. Tom turned to the others with a smile. "Ta-da!" he said with a laugh.
