They left through the rear set of French doors, and hand in hand walked around the grounds, they saw the pool, and decided May is still a little cool for a swim, then they passed the tennis courts and discussed the fact that neither of them were into tennis, then Starke said let's take this path over here, and he led her through a thicket of trees. The path narrowed there so he put his arm around her shoulders and puller her closer, they walked a few minutes and came out on the other side in a clearing and actually it was a pasture, they could see the stables on the other side of the fenced pasture, there were horses grazing in the pasture, and they walked up to the fence.
Starke make a clicking sound and the horse nearest to them looked up and slowly started walking towards them, he felt Candee pull back, a little bit and said, "don't be afraid, and never let any animal know that you are," "he won't hurt you, I usually ride him when I come up here and he remembers me." Candee said, "The closer he gets the bigger he seems" they are huge animals aren't they? He said, "Yes they are that," as the horse approached the fence, Starke said hey "Star how are ya boy? The horse nodded his head then lowered it so Starke could rub him between his ears, and he patted the side of his face, he said, rub his nose there Candee, he likes that, and slowly she raised her hand and touched the horse, he's very nice isn't he? Starke said, "He is that" he was white with a black star on his head, he had a black mane and tail and hoofs, he really was striking. Starke then said, "next time we come up here we 'll go riding, I will teach you how and I think you will enjoy it, what do you think about that? She said, "I'm happy to hear we may return to this wonderful place, and yes, I would love to learn to ride a magnificent creature such as this and she patted the horse again.
