Hannah and her friend are both terrified of horses, and summoned me when they needed to hose off some rubber floor mats. The hose was in the water trough, between the two horse pens, and they were scared to go inside. The hose was connected to a sprayer that didn't fit through the fence, so we couldn't just drag it out. At first, they wanted me to just go get it for them, but I wasn't so easy. I made them come with me to "get over" their fear of the horses. They came with, but were nervously giggling and clinging to me the whole time. For some reason, the girls brought the rubber mats, which made things a little more interesting. The horses were curious, and were sticking their heads between our shoulders, and biting at the mats. Melody sneezed on Hannah's friend, which made her scream, drop her share of the mats, and sprint back to the gate. She almost dropped her phone in the process, but saved it before it hit the sand. I gathered the mats with Hannah, as well as the the sprayer head, and dragged it all back with Hannah hugging my shoulders and half giggling, half screaming, the whole time. The horses were closely following us, and were nudging Hannah as we walked. (Or more like, I was walking and Hannah was darting all over the place because of the horses.) Each time the horses pressed their heads against us, Hannah dug her nails deeper and deeper into my shoulders, and tried to jump on my back. I just put a smile on my face and pretended to not notice any pain.

Hannah survived, and helped me pull in the hose. As we hosed down the mats, there was rolling thunder in the distance. Ryder and his girlfriend were sitting on the front porch. After yesterday and the night before's events, Ryder's girlfriend got very nervous when we heard the thunder, and started to panic when we saw yet another system racing across the plains towards us. I didn't really pay attention to her freak out. I just continued to hose down the mats and picked them up to bring them to Hannah's car.
