Pretty Little Liars Next Generation

My Love for Horse

"That breed of horse is called American Paint Horse. They are supposed to have patches and spots on them." Toby said

"What are horses?" Rosie asked

"They are farm animals. I had an American Paint Horse named Patches and I show jumped on him." Spencer said

Patches was Spencer's first horse. Once he passed on she never wanted to compete again.

"Your mom used to ride horses and she was good at show jumping." Toby said

"Can I ride a horse dad." Rosie said

"I think you are a little young right now but maybe." Toby said

"I rode my first horse at 4 years old. Maybe we should take the kids soon." Spencer said

While on vacation Spencer and Toby took their four kids to a horse stables so Rosie could ride a horse. She couldn't ride alone because she was under 5 years old so Toby rode on the same horse with her. All the kids wanted to ride horse once they got to the stables so Spencer rode on the same horse with Elizabeth. JT and Rochelle could ride on their own horse but Spencer and Toby felt more comfortable if they rode on one horse together.

"That was a fun day" I said to my dad

"You loved horses and you will never stop loving them." Toby said

"When is JT getting home from LA? Please say it's tonight because I need him at my competition tomorrow for good luck." I asked

"Yes tonight, He should be back home an hour or two." Toby said

"I remember the first time I fell off a horse. You and JT were with me. I broke my arm that day and didn't want to get back on a horse once my arm was all better. JT told me to get back on the horse. It's because of him that I ride horses today." I said

The next day I was at my show jumping competition. My entire family was here to chear me on. I was at the stables and with my horse. I took her out of the stall to visit with some of the other horses and riders. I saw my friend Maria not with her horse and she was crying.

"What's going on? Is something wrong with your horse?" I asked

"I can't compete today because my horse got disqualified for a performance enhancer in his food." Maria said

"Who put it in his food?" I asked

"I don't know but it wasn't me." Maria said

"You can ride Sophie in the competition." I said

"I thought you were riding Sophie. According to the rule book we can't both ride the same horse." Maria said

"That rule only applies to the same age category. I am in the 14 - 16 year olds and you are in the 16 - 18 year olds." I said

"Thanks Rosie. I couldn't ask for a better friend.

I competed on my horse Sophie first. I placed 1st in my age group. Maria was the last one to jump for the day. Maria was jumping on my horse and she was doing amazing until the very last jump. She fell off my horse and Sophie went down. The entire crowd was shocked. I was worried about Maria but I was more worried about my horse because something was seriously wrong with Sophie.

Maria was fine after a minute. She got up by herself and probably had a few bruises but she didn't seem to be in pain. Sophie is a different story. They had Vets on site and they helped my parents get Sophie into our horse trailer. I got in the truck with my dad and he took Sophie to the nearest animal hospital. My mom drove my siblings home and then met my dad and I back at the animal hospital.

"Sophie owner?" one of the doctors asked

"My wife and I own her but our daughter Rosie rides her in shows." Toby said

"I have some bad news for you. Sophie suffered a really bad break her front right leg. Even if we did surgery and it went well she would never be healthy enough to compete again. If Sophie was a dog or cat we would amputate the leg but since she's a horse that isn't an option." The doctor said

Toby looked and Spencer and they knew what was going to happen to Sophie. Rosie was in tears and knew it to. I wanted Sophie to live forever but I knew that couldn't happen.

"If there is no other option then I think it's best that we put her down." Spencer said

"Mom, dad, can we please do the surgery. I want Sophie to live even if I can't compete on her anymore." I asked

Spencer and Toby talked with the doctors for a few minutes. They decided against doing the surgery even though that's what Rosie wanted. Rosie said her final goodbye to Sophie. She didn't say anything but she cried the entire time she was saying goodbye. Spencer and Toby were right by here side the entire time.

Later that weekend Spencer and Toby showed Rosie a video they made of her riding and jumping on horses. The clips of Sophie made Rosie cry. She would miss Sophie but in time Rosie would have another horse to compete with.
