Carolyn
After about a week of having Soraya help me with Tango, Mandy finally decided to tell her.
We stood in the middle of the ring. I was on Missy, ponying Tango behind us with Soraya on her back. As well as she was doing every now and then she would wander off and ignore Soraya's commands.
"Well, Tango's done for the day. About another week and she should be done with her training." I told Soraya as I tossed her reins back. She grabbed them and dismounted, leading Tango over to Mandy.
"I'll miss her." Soraya murmured.
"Why? She's yours." Mandy told her.
I grinned and watched Soraya. "What?" She asked, turning to Tango. "No. You can't be serious. You're kidding! She's mine?! Thank you so much!"
Mandy started laughing and nodded, giving her a one-armed hug. "Yup. Tango's all yours. Be sure to thank your parents and your Uncle Greg. They all pitched in to help pay for her adoption fee, board, feed, ect. And you must thank Carolyn for dealing with her training and helping keep this a secret."
Soraya nodded and I saw tears start streaming down her face. She walked over to Missy and I and I leaned down to give her a hug. "Thank you. For everything."
Finally Soraya stopped crying, and they both left to give Tango a good grooming and some extra treats. I stayed behind to ride Missy. The show was coming up and I wanted to be as prepared as I could be.
