“You’re right about that,” Andy said. “Trail rides aren’t what I bought him for. You’re gonna show him.” He broke into a broad smile.
“What? I can’t…I never…” I sputtered.
“Meg told us that all the while she was showin’, you would say someday you wanted to show yourself. Well, buddy, guess what? Someday just arrived.”
He pulled a showbill out of his pocket. “Your first show is in five weeks, May 14th.”
