A Cowgirl's Story Page #3

right now.

With my mom being deployed

in a combat war zone,

I am just looking for something

to keep me occupied.

How many girls to a team?

A minimum of eight.

Well, if you can get

eight girls to sign up,

you can have your team.

Yes!

But there are

no school funds left.

So whatever the costs

for this team,

you'll have to cover

on your own.

Absolutely, of course.

That is exactly

what sponsors are for.

I promise

you will not regret this.

Hmm.

Hi. Would y'all like to sign up

for the equestrian drill team?

Um, no.

Like, giddyup.

Yippie Yi-yo ki-yay,

whatever.

Hi. Would you like to sign up

for the equestrian drill team?

No, thanks.

Do you ride?

Yeah, a little.

Well, then this would be

perfect for you.

No, thanks.

Hey.

Hey.

What's an equestrian drill team?

Oh, it's doing maneuvers

on horseback.

Well, I'd kill myself.

Why are you making that face?

Are you trying to guilt me

into joining?

No.

Yeah, you think

I owe you just 'cause

you took the blame for me

the other day.

I would never do that.

Mm.

Look, cowgirl, I do owe you,

but I'm not getting on no horse.

No way.

Don't sign up

for anything else yet, okay?

So you can at least

think about it.

Fine.

Not every girl grows up

loving horses, dusty.

Yeah, some girls like pigs.

Thank you for that.

That was fun, wasn't it?

I'm gonna be honest.

I think we ought to cut you down

on the cookies.

You're a little bit bigger.

It's the truth.

You know what I don't

understand?

Those kids.

They don't get it.

I don't think they understand

how much fun it would be.

If only they could see

you and me in action.

That's it.

You are a genius!

Yes, you are.

She's always holding

her glasses,

like just get

a pair of contacts.

Look at that.

You can't bring

a horse on campus.

This is star.

He's me promotional tool.

The basketball team

has a basketball hoop,

so we figured

why not have a horse

for the equestrian drill team?

There is no

equestrian drill team.

Sign-ups are over

in an hour, dusty.

And so far,

you're the only name

on the list.

And me.

I'd like to sign up

for the team.

I'd like to sign up too.

I mean, if it's okay

for someone like me to join.

Of course.

My dad is in the army too.

I mean, I don't know

a ton about horses,

but I could learn.

I'll do it!

Me too.

Sure, sounds fun.

We want to join the team!

Giddyup!

Well, good luck.

You're gonna need it.

We have a team!

Here, guys, come meet star.

You each have

your own horse now,

courtesy of our

first official sponsor,

Mr. Sage carver

of the carver stables.

Here is Jason carver.

He's his son and will be
