Riding My Horse: Growing up in Buffalo Gap

Meadowlark approached Scott after he had dismounted.

Youre riding my pony, she declared in a threatening voice and stood with a hostile hands-on-hips posture face-to-face directly in front of him.

He was startled! How to respond to this angry girl? Gosh! I wouldnt have ridden the pony if l knew youd be upset.

Your brother, Swallow, said it would be okay. Well its not, she retorted angrily. No one rides my pony without asking and me saying so.
