There is nothing greater than helping your grandparents on their large ranch in the middle of Kansas. That was what I was thinking as I hopped on my grandmother Patrice’s horse named Watermelon. My mother told me, my grandparents owned a gigantic ranch, so I instantly wanted to come out and help them and learn about cattle.. They had a bunch of cattle on their farm that they have to care for everyday, so I decided to assist them with caring for their animals. Once I climbed back up on my horse, I rode up to my grandpa Jim, who was waiting for me on his horse.
My grandfather squinted his peaceful brown eyes at me then asked in his old and deep voice, “We are going up this trail to check on how the cattle are doing. After that we will ride to …show more content…

I was doing okay, but every once in awhile I would have to stop to regroup all the cattle. After about 20 minutes of riding we finally make it to the cattle territory. My grandfather steers his horse towards mine and we ride off to his house. We left the cattle in their territory so they can live peacefully and stay out of danger. The stable wasn’t very far away so we make it there just before the sun
