It was time to go over their plans for the competition. Gus had brought extra chairs into the lounge so everyone could be seated comfortably. Anticipating the meeting might be crowded, Mrs. DeWitt had left her terriers at home. Tim’s mother surprised everyone with chocolate chip cookies that were eagerly sampled by the group. Sarah was surprised when Derek and his parents showed up. “Derek wants to volunteer to be water boy for the team,” Mrs. Alexander said jokingly, “and we just want to cheer for the team.” Jack stood on the fireplace hearth so everyone could see and hear him easily. “Thanks for coming,” he began. “The Wexford Hall event will be here before we know it, and we need to discuss what you can expect. This should be an exciting competition for our riders and the stable manager. Tim, Rita, Kayla, and Sarah will be able to show how well trained their horses are and how well they can ride. In addition to taking care of her own horse, Kelly’s been studying a few books on horse care and eventing so she can offer support to the riders.”
