- Did you give Fireball his supplements?

- Yes, sir.

What about the water trough in the pasture?

Did you check it?

I filled it to the brim and made sure

that I locked the gate behind me.

Okay, go into the tack room...

get that little western saddle

with the striped blanket.

- I'll be in there in a minute.

- Yes!

Sorry.

I won't make any more noise.

Give a good tug on

the cinch like that...

and the rabbit back

through the hole, got it?

Got it. Now, how often do you

wash the saddle blanket?

- Don't worry about the saddle blanket.

- Okay.

- You can get on now.

- Okay.

Uh-uh. Wrong side.

Don't be darting around.

Whoa.

And always get on from the left.

- How come?

- Stop asking so many questions.

- Sorry.

- And stop apologizing all the time.

- Okay.

- Put your helmet on.

- Right.

- All right. Good.

- You've got a natural seat.

- I do?

Yeah. Sit up straight.

Good.

Keep the weight on the balls of

your feet and your heels down.

Okay.

- Can I ask you one more question?

- If you must.

How did he get the name Tinkerbell?

He, uh- He came with that name

Well, I don't think he likes it.

Does he look like a Tinkerbell to you?

- No.

- I think that he should be called Checkers.

Call him whatever you want.

Take him in the ring.

Checkers.

Good name.

- Sweetheart?

- Mm-hmm?

Sweetheart, have you, uh,

seen my car keys?

No. Did you check your purse?

Oh, no.

Where is my purse?

I'll help you find it.

Oh, where did I put it?

- I wonder if l left it upstairs.

- Ah, here it is.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you very much.

- Ah.

- What's going on, Mom?

Um, nothing.

- You look pretty.

- Well, thank you.

I mean, you always look pretty.

It's just that... today you look extra pretty.

Well, remember I told you,

I'm going to that poetry reading.

And... that's it?

All right. If you must know,

I'm- I'm meeting someone there.

Oh, you are? Well, who?
