Sorya took the book and opened it. flipping through the pages, she found an image of Breck and smiled. "I have never followed hockey in my life. I was never big into sports unless it was equestrain sports, like rodeo and barrel racing. My dad used to be a professional bareback and saddlebronc rider. He even rode bulls as well. He retired a few years after I was born so that he could focus on the ranch and raising my brother and I," Sorya explained as she flipped the page again to a picture of the whole team. She looked for Brent and was able to find him easily. "I realize that you have an english accent as well. What part of England are you from?" Sorya asked wanting to get to know more about Breck.

He watched as sorya flipped through the book he left the stables driveway. "Hockeys fun when you have been playing it your whole life my dad played a few years of hockey before becoming the teams coach for 5 years then retiring from sports. Oh and what store you wanna go to first" Breck said keeping his eyes on the road. "Yeah my English is pretty good and I am from London but moved her at 1 with my mom and my dad and they got me hockey lessons." Breck added while keeping his eyes on the road and stopping at the stop signs.

"London?" Sorya asked as she closed the book that was in her hands. "I kind of want to visit there one day. It would interesting to go to a new country besides Canada." She placed the book in the back seat so that it did not fall onto the floor and get ruined. "Do you have family back in London? Or are they all here?" Sorya asked as she was curious about Brent and his life back in London. Maybe he could take her to visit one day. But that was if he wanted to. Even though that London was a big city (which she hated big cities), she would feel a little safer with someone who knew their way around the area. Or to just explore it with someone so that she would not get lost alone.

"Yeah, London I can take u there one day if we are playing a game there. And I do have family there my grandparents" Breck said while keeping his eyes on the road. "But the coach doesn't let us take other people with us unless there a family member or dating one of the players. Why don't u come to my next couple of practices" Breck said while keeping both his hands on the wheel. Breck pulled into a tack shop parking lot. "Welcome to Journeymen Saddlers Ltd good place to start looking," Breck said.

"You know, I may just take you up on that offer on both going to London and going to some of your practices. When is your next one?" Sorya asked as they pulled into the parking lot. Once a spot was found, Sorya pulled her seatbelt off and stepped out of the truck. When she first came to Middleburg, she had passed by this place and thought about going here to look for some new tack items should she need some. This place looked amazing as they walked in. It was a little overwhelming all of a sudden because Sorya was not sure where to start looking. Should she start with the clothes? Or the tack? After a moment, she decided to start with the tack as she would need a new bridle and saddle pads for riding. She headed in the direction of the English riding tack and began to look. "Do you recommend a certain brand of tack?" She was still feeling a little overwhelmed as she ran her hand over a black jumping saddle.

"We go to London if we win out next game. And I have a practice tomorrow night recommend bring my coat if you don't want to get cold or you can always use my new jacket to I never wear the jackets I get anyway" Breck said while unbuckling his seatbelt. He followed sorya in. "You can pick what brand of tack you want but make sure it's one u like." Breck added looking at some halters.

Sorya gulped as she looked at some more saddles. There were some that looked good, but she suddenly found one that peaked her interest. It was a jumping saddle in black. She liked the look of black english tack for some reason. To her, it looked sleek. She ran her hand over the saddle and smiled. It seemed like a nice saddle. "What about this one?" she looked at the tag that was on it. "It says it is a Wintec 500 jumping saddle." |

"Those saddles are good I have one myself," Breck said while looking at a few of the halters. Breck looked at the halters. "u know what I think I am gonna spoil Axel and get him an entire navy blue tack set" Breck said looking at all the tack sets. He watched as sorya kept looking at the saddles.

Sorya nodded as she looked at the saddle again. It seemed that this was the saddle that she wanted. After a moment, she found am employee and told them that she wanted the saddle but still had some things to look for. She was able to pick out a bridle that matched very well and then headed to the section for clothing. She had found a few clothing items online that she had liked and decided to look for them or something similar. After a while, Sorya found an outfit that she liked. She found a pair of dark grey riding pants, a light purple almost periwinkle top and a pair of tall black riding boots. Since there was an area for her to try the clothing on, she decided to do so. After a quick change, Sorya came out of the changing room. "So, what do you think? I feel a little odd wearing these things. But I think I can get used to it," Sorya said as she turned to look in the mirror. |

Breck grabbed a few more things for axel like some leg wraps for dressage and a few other things. He looked a few of the Eventing equipment which was pretty expensive. He watched as sorya picked and outfit and decided to try it on. "Pretty and if this is the only store we go to I can give you a riding lesson with axel and your horse on English." Breck said .

"Actually, I was thinking of going to lunch afterwards. But if there is still time, I will take you up on that offer of a riding lesson," Sorya answered with a smile. "As a thank you for taking me to get some new tack. My treat." She looked in the mirror again and smiled as she looked at herself. It was a little different seeing herself in the mirror wearing english riding clothes. But there was something nice about it. Like she was looking at a different person. Someone she did not know. She then caught the image of Brent in the mirror and watched him for a moment before deciding that she needed to change back into her normal clothes. It did not take her long to change back to her clothes and met Brent back where he was.

"Where you wanna eat then we have time" Breck said typing on his phone as his coach had just sent the team a new practice schedule for this season and when they had games. He put his phone away as soon as sorya appeared wearing the clothes she arrived in. "Ready to go. Also if you want you can ride axel" Breck said waiting for sorya.

Sorya thought for a moment. "There is this restaurant that looked good when I arrived here a few days ago. I drove past it and it smelled really good. It looked like a bar and grill. I want to see if they have any good burgers there." Sorya loved burgers. They seemed to be one of her favorite foods. She watched Brent as he texted on his phone for a moment and wondered what he was doing. She did not want to ask him in case it was something personal. So, she headed to the cashier where she paid for everything with her card. A special cover was zipped over the saddle to protect it. She laid the clothes and bridle over the saddle and carried them outside. "I think that would be perfect if I ride a horse trained for English, so thank you. I am a little nervous about it, but I feel like you know what you are doing and can keep me safe."

"We can go there I know where it is. Oh and I texted my coach and he said it was fine that you go to oir practices and go to our games" Breck said with a smile.He followed behind sorya and payed for his things after her he mostly bought a lot of things for hockey or for axle it was a mix of the to. "Axel is a good horse and he tries his best oh and he won't let you pet him unless you have a treat or even tack him up." Breck added following sorya outside and opening the backseat area of his truck for sorya. He then opened up the door for sorya.

Setting the saddle and her other purchases in the back, Sorya then headed to the front of the truck where she got in. She was a little nervous about how the riding lesson would go after they were done with lunch. But she knew that she was in good hands with Brent. She took a deep breath as she put on her seatbelt and waited for Brent to get in the truck. "I want to thank you for coming with me today. We should do this again some time," Sorya announced when he was in the truck. She was starting to feel hungry as she had not really had anything to eat besides some yogurt and a banana for breakfast as she sat in her office that morning.
