Emma's Chance Page #3

---

Come with me, I wanna show you somethin'.

This is Keely.

She is the youngest member

of the Red Bucket family.

How're you doin'? How're you doin'?

Come here. Come around here.

Wild, tame,

well-bred, pregnant...

As soon as a horse is

discarded and forgotten,

they're taken to auction

and sometimes they meet a terrible end.

Fortunately for Keely here,

we were able to save her in time,

but her momma wasn't as lucky.

She was taken to auction

and bought by some greedy men

who sent her to slaughter.

- That's awful.

- Yeah.

You wanna give her a treat?

- Okay.

- Yeah?

Hold out your hand. Look.

All right. So, look,

I don't really know what you did, kid.

All I know is, they told me to put you in here.

So, you're gonna scoop this up

like this, all right?

And you're gonna put it in here.

Okay?

You got it? Good.

When you're done with this stall,

I want you to work down the line

until the whole barn's finished.

When you're done doing that,

you spread these around.

Thirsty there, cowgirl?

There's a faucet by the arena

if you wanna cool off.

Hey, have you met Emma?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, hi, I'm...

Well, Lexi is actually

our most experienced rider here.

She came here two years ago

to serve out her community service

and really haven't been able

to get rid of her since.

Pretty much.

Nice meetin' you.

I'll finish this up later. Come with me.

He's not gonna bite you.

I'd rather not find out.

He...

Emma. For surviving your first day.

Thanks.

Did we do the right thing?

Where you goin', Horse Girl?

You guys, it's our fault

that she's in this situation right now.

We're just playing. She knows that.

Right, Emma?

Of course. Sorry, I'm just really tired.

You know what we need? A girls' night.

What do you say we TP

a few houses this weekend?

- Cool, I'm down.

- Me, too.

Yeah, not only am I Horse Girl,

I'm also grounded.

Someone's having too much fun.

Don't get the wrong idea.

I'm only here because I have to be.

I see.

Hey, Lexi?

How can it be worth it,

owning a horse, I mean?

It's so much work.

You've never ridden before, have you?

Well, when you do, you'll see.

It's one of the most exhilarating things

you can experience.

I mean, having a horse

as your best friend and partner...

There's nothing like it.

No, I have no desire to ride.

I just wanna get in and out of here

with the least amount of manure

on my shoes.

That's my goal.

Lexi, Susan needs you.

Easy.

Easy. Easy. Good boy. Good boy.

Good boy. Easy.

Yep, you got him.

I got you. Good boy.

That's a good boy. Look what I got for you.

This is your home. Want some of that?

You'll get so much more of it.

There you go. Hello, beautiful.
