The sinking sun stretches shadows over the cobblestone yard as Marcus walks you out of the horse trailer. Your hooves click a steady rhythm on the stones. He leads you into a clean stall where fresh hay crunches softly underfoot. A cluster of young riders—Olivia, Grace, Rebecca, and Jade—lean over the half-door, their faces alight with interest. Rebecca draws a quick breath. "A new horse? We haven't had one since Princess!" Marcus gives a quiet, knowing chuckle. Then Peter approaches, his brow lifted in curiosity. "Who is this?" He turns to you, his question hanging in the golden afternoon light.
