Speaker 1: Hayley, quick, wake up. What there's a storm. We need
Speaker 1: to get a move on the chores.
Speaker 2: Huh. Let me see. It doesn't look too bad, just
Speaker 2: a little rain.
Speaker 1: A little rain can turn into a lot of rain
Speaker 1: real quick. Plus they're calling for hal so we need
Speaker 1: to get the horses in the barn and see if
Speaker 1: the cattle moved under the trees.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the calves, this will be their first big storm.
Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna get started. Alejandro will be here soon.
Speaker 1: Keep your walk. He turned up.
Speaker 2: Okay, I hope he brought some boots with him. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be a muddy mess.
Speaker 1: That's right. We've got the animals secured. The neighbor's goats
Speaker 1: even came into the barn, I'm.
Speaker 3: Sure they did. What about the cattle. Did they go
Speaker 3: into the little forest?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 1: Like some ventured up towards the gorge again. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: glad we put a trail cam up there. There's some
Speaker 1: calves with them, so I think I'll have to move them.
Speaker 1: Don't want the hell to scare the calves over the edge.
Speaker 1: It's pretty high.
Speaker 4: Up there, Dad, that's a two person job.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try again with Bailey. Maybe now with how
Speaker 1: serious this is. She'll ride Sonny and help me.
Speaker 4: I hope so. But I don't know, Dad.
Speaker 3: She didn't say anything about my letter and what you
Speaker 3: told me. She said about the day we found Connor's cancer.
Speaker 3: M Blake thinks there's more to it than fear or stubbornness.
Speaker 3: Connor falling off Sonny was the catalyst that started us
Speaker 3: down that path. Blake has seen this a lot with
Speaker 3: the rodeo. Emotions get attached to events and that can
Speaker 3: override logic and training.
Speaker 1: Well. Her dad has always been able to see her best.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why she's been avoiding his calls.
Speaker 3: She's not been ready to see herself correctly. I think
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pack up right now and head home. Maybe
Speaker 3: I can get there before.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, don't do that.
Speaker 3: I'll be all right, Dad, I don't mind, and I
Speaker 3: really think that I need to know.
Speaker 1: I mean it now. I don't want you getting caught
Speaker 1: driving in that storm. I'll go easy on Bailey. I
Speaker 1: won't push her.
Speaker 4: All right, all right, but please don't go out there alone.
Speaker 3: If Bailey isn't ready to ride with you, call over
Speaker 3: to the Buckholtzes or see if you can get in
Speaker 3: touch with one of the regular farm hands.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll do Sweetie, We'll get through this.
Speaker 4: Love you, Love you too, Dad.
Speaker 2: No, Alejandro, don't merge the mushrooms.
Speaker 5: Why not? Do I need to fill the inventory first?
Speaker 1: What you need?
Speaker 2: We are double twin flowers.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 5: Let me show you fine here, Szoe, I don't get
Speaker 5: this game?
Speaker 2: See like this?
Speaker 5: Do you like video games? Bailey?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Some.
Speaker 2: I don't have a cell phone, so I never played
Speaker 2: games like that. But we do have an old console
Speaker 2: in the house. But Bailey phone games are the best.
Speaker 2: They're portable for times like this, when you're stuck in
Speaker 2: a barn.
Speaker 5: I guess there's not usually a lot of downtime on
Speaker 5: a farm. Too much work.
Speaker 2: Sure, it's a lot of work. But when we finished
Speaker 2: with chores in school, Connor would always come up with
Speaker 2: something crazy to do, like driving ATVs. More like ATV
Speaker 2: hide and seek, or jumping ATVs over the low part
Speaker 2: of the creek.
Speaker 5: That sounds dangerous and extremely fun.
Speaker 2: It was just don't tell cheapop. But on days like this,
Speaker 2: Connor and I would dream about the business we wanted
Speaker 2: to start.
Speaker 5: What business were you going to start? I know a
Speaker 5: few business owners. It's hard work.
Speaker 2: We were going to run a sanctuary for wild and
Speaker 2: unwanted horses, and for the business we were going to
Speaker 2: gentle the ones we could to go into rodeo training
Speaker 2: with my dad.
Speaker 5: Wow, that's pretty cool. Actually, he said you were so
Speaker 5: not anymore.
Speaker 2: Not without Connor. We were going to start with a grant,
Speaker 2: but we never got to submit it and I couldn't
Speaker 2: do it on my own anyway. But aren't you going
Speaker 2: to train Wilder? That's a big deal. He's definitely a
Speaker 2: wild one. Okay, he's getting a little worked up. I
Speaker 2: get it, Wilder. My old apartment was so tiny. You
Speaker 2: just need a bigger stall. This is the biggest stall
Speaker 2: we have. It's for foling mares.
Speaker 5: Did you give him any staty Vailey?
Speaker 2: Not yet. He was doing so well with me and
Speaker 2: I wanted to keep working with him. If he's too sedated,
Speaker 2: he won't remember and we won't make any progress.
Speaker 5: Do you really want him remembering this? Right now? He
Speaker 5: seems to be getting more and more upset, and the
Speaker 5: pacing can't be good for his leg.
Speaker 2: His leg's actually doing much better. But I guess you're right.
Speaker 2: I'll give him some ace. That should take the edge off.
Speaker 5: I'll get you some fee to put it in. He's
Speaker 5: not going to let you near his mouth.
Speaker 2: Alejandro, you're starting to sound like a real farmer, like
Speaker 2: you know stuff now.
Speaker 5: I prefer rancher. I think horse is somewhere of my thing.
Speaker 2: But thanks, Yeah, just don't forget to lock the feed room. Yeah, cowboy.
Speaker 2: I like being around the horses too, but just brushing
Speaker 2: them and hugging them. You don't want to learn to ride,
Speaker 2: maybe one of your calm geldings, but training a wild horse.
Speaker 2: That's next level for my farming duties. I think I
Speaker 2: like the celebrity chickens best. I can tell. They're always
Speaker 2: following you around. Maybe they can tell you're from Hollywood.
Speaker 2: Doubt it. I didn't really fit in there, really, but
Speaker 2: you always have stylish clothes and seem to know what's
Speaker 2: going on with celebrities and all. I can never keep
Speaker 2: up with that. I just have good Wi Fi. Actually
Speaker 2: that was kind of the problem, part of the reason
Speaker 2: we moved here. What do you mean, what problem?
Speaker 5: Here's some feed? Oh thanks, but you girls could have
Speaker 5: at least kept Stone and Blitz from following me.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, those goats are always causing trouble.
Speaker 5: No worries. It's all good. That fake snake next to
Speaker 5: the door is working for now, but I think they're
Speaker 5: getting used to it.
Speaker 2: I'm like Wilder in his fancy birthing stall. You better hurry, Bailey,
Speaker 2: got it here you go, Wilder, come on, eat the
Speaker 2: tasty grain. He's not taking it.
Speaker 5: What are we going to do now?
Speaker 2: I'll have to go in there and calm him down.
Speaker 2: I can try and give it to him. Orally, you sure, Bailey,
Speaker 2: he's moving around the stall pretty quickly. It's that. Or
Speaker 2: maybe put him back out in the round pen. If
Speaker 2: you'd even let me walk him out there, he may
Speaker 2: just bolt.
Speaker 5: Good thing his leg's better, then maybe it'd be okay
Speaker 5: for him to bolt.
Speaker 6: No way, whoa boy, It's okay, okay, easy boy.
Speaker 5: How can I help Bailey?
Speaker 2: I'm going to get him dell over his head. See
Speaker 2: if you can put the lead rope over his neck. Okay, careful,
Speaker 2: you're safe, Wilder. I know you want to come out.
Speaker 5: Huh uh.
Speaker 2: Remember the nice lead rope. It's not gonna hurt you
Speaker 2: at all. That's a good.
Speaker 5: Boy, Good boy? Is that good?
Speaker 3: Bailey?
Speaker 5: Do you think you can squat it in his mouth.
Speaker 2: Now yeah, oh oh, he's gonna keep throwing his head.
Speaker 2: Zoe gets some banana bread out of my bag quick.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to give it to him and food again. Okay,
Speaker 2: here it is. Thanks smell this. Yeah, yeah, you want this,
Speaker 2: don't you. He really likes my mom's banana bread.
Speaker 5: It's working. He's eating it. Good job Wilder, and good
Speaker 5: job Bailey. I can't believe you got into calm down
Speaker 5: after all that.
Speaker 2: Thanks Alejandro, and thanks for helping me. I really think
Speaker 2: you do well here, you know, with me, So please
Speaker 2: don't say anything else about him leaving.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I just thought that was the plan keep up.
Speaker 5: And I saw his hurt nearby yesterday and thought, but.
Speaker 2: That's not his herd. It's the gray stallion's hurd. We're
Speaker 2: his herd. Now, yeah, we're his herd.
Speaker 5: Okay, got it.
Speaker 2: You're his hurt and you too if you want huh,
Speaker 2: never mind, it's dumb, No.
Speaker 5: It's not. It's just a first for me being not
Speaker 5: a soccer team member of a band, but a heard Yeah,
Speaker 5: gump me into.
Speaker 2: Great where you all are a rocky? Don't seek all
Speaker 2: over me? Do you think the storm will pass by?
Speaker 1: I don't think so, Bailey. So I need your help, Zoe.
Speaker 1: Can you keep Rocky in here? He's not ready for this?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 1: Some of the heifers and their calves have gone up
Speaker 1: towards the gorge.
Speaker 2: They're just trying to get to high ground. I'm sure
Speaker 2: the creek's pretty high by now.
Speaker 1: Well, we don't want any calves getting scared and falling
Speaker 1: into the gorge. We need to move them away and carefully.
Speaker 1: Will you ride with me?
Speaker 2: Can I just take the ATV?
Speaker 1: No, can do, kiddo. The terrain is too steep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I can just drive the ATV to the
Speaker 2: base of the hill and climb up. I can keep
Speaker 2: them away from the edge. At least.
Speaker 1: It's already too muddy, Bailey. The ATV will get stuck
Speaker 1: before you're halfway there.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Will you try and ride Sonny and help me?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: I but.
Speaker 1: Bailey, you okay? Slow down?
Speaker 5: What's wrong with her? Bailey?
Speaker 2: Give her space. She's having an anxiety attack. O honey, Bailey,
Speaker 2: look at my eyes. You're going to be okay. Sit
Speaker 2: down here, lean over. I've got you.
Speaker 1: You don't have to go, Bailey, It's okay. I can
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 5: I can help. I've done some riding in Billings. Just
Speaker 5: give me one of your easier horses.
Speaker 1: M sure you're gonna be okay, Bailey?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Don't be sorry. It's okay.
Speaker 2: I've got her. Gee Pop, she'll be okay. You can
Speaker 2: go save the baby cows.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go, Alejandro, grab soldier from the stall and
Speaker 1: come over here by the tack room. I'll saddle them
Speaker 1: up for you.
Speaker 5: Got it. Feel better, Bailey, I'll be back as soon
Speaker 5: as I can.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Just sit a little longer. Gee Pop and
Speaker 2: Alejandra will take care of everything out there, and we'll
Speaker 2: take care of Wilder. Okay, okay, it's all going to
Speaker 2: be fine. Let's just relax him in then we'll check
Speaker 2: on Wilder the medstra kicken soon. I don't feel better.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, that's good. How about you? Are you feeling
Speaker 2: more like yourself?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: Am I feeling like myself? I haven't felt like myself
Speaker 2: for a while, but am feeling better than I did
Speaker 2: a few minutes ago. Okay, well that's good. How do
Speaker 2: you know I was having an anxiety attack or it
Speaker 2: can be called a panic attack. Yeah, that I have
Speaker 2: some experience with anxiety. I even take medicine. Though it
Speaker 2: seems to work better than Wilders, it might take a
Speaker 2: little longer since he's so worked up. Oh, so, is
Speaker 2: this the problem you were talking about before? Why you
Speaker 2: moved here? Yeah? I was pretty miserable back in California,
Speaker 2: but you're like the happiest person I know. I had
Speaker 2: trouble with some kids I went to school with and
Speaker 2: stayed in my apartment a lot, but then they started
Speaker 2: picking on me on social media. Mornings before school were
Speaker 2: really hard. I often had anxiety attacks. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: That's awful. I'm doing much better now. My mom helped
Speaker 2: me as best she could, but eventually decided we needed
Speaker 2: a change of scenery, and I really like it here.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you're here too. I'm sorry I never asked
Speaker 2: you about you know you? That's okay. I understand being
Speaker 2: good at friendships is tricky, but even more when you're hurting. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess I've been in my head a lot. I
Speaker 2: was too, But you know, when I'm brushing the horses
Speaker 2: or feeding the chickens, I can forget about stuff and
Speaker 2: feel calm, and I even forget to check my phone. Wow.
Speaker 2: That is a pretty big deal then, I know, right. Oh,
Speaker 2: I just remembered I found this when I was getting
Speaker 2: the banana bread earlier. Oh, my mom's letter. My mom
Speaker 2: was kind of my hero through all my troubles, but
Speaker 2: only once I finally told her what was happening. Oh mmmm, yeah,
Speaker 2: I see what you did there. I'm going to run
Speaker 2: in the house and grab some more supplies. Okay, thanks, Okay,
Speaker 2: Dear Bailey, I want to leave you this banana bread
Speaker 2: as a gift, and I want to share with you
Speaker 2: a gift that I have received from Sonny. From Sonny, huh.
Speaker 2: I know you're having some trouble writing Sonny again, and
Speaker 2: that's probably because of the accident. I know that was
Speaker 2: a terrible day that led to some terrible months. But
Speaker 2: I see that accident a little differently. I see it
Speaker 2: as a gift. It was because of the fall that
Speaker 2: we went to the hospital and then discovered the tumor
Speaker 2: when we did months before it took his life. In fact,
Speaker 2: the doctor just called it a silent tumor, usually not
Speaker 2: found until after the patient has died. So you see,
Speaker 2: Sonny gave me the gift of time. Although the doctors
Speaker 2: couldn't cure us cancer. I had time to tell my
Speaker 2: son how much I loved him, and I had time
Speaker 2: to say goodbye. Pain of his loss isn't less. It's
Speaker 2: still just as painful not to have him, but I'm
Speaker 2: thankful that I had that time with him. I hope
Speaker 2: you can forgive Sonny and find your way back to her. No,
Speaker 2: she misses you because I miss you.
Speaker 7: We need you, Bailey, love Mom, Mom, Oh, Sonny.
Speaker 2: Oh, Sonny. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry girl. I've blamed you,
Speaker 2: ignored you, yelled at you. I know it's not your fault.
Speaker 2: Oh a hug, Thanks girl, You're forgiving me already. That's
Speaker 2: all it took. Thank you, Sonny. I love you too.
Speaker 2: I know I've been pushing you away. Mom and dad too.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, Bail. It's okay, Sonny.
Speaker 6: Oh daily, zolly Ugh, Where are you in, Sonny stall?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Gepop and Alejandro just called on the walkie talkie. They
Speaker 2: move the calves just in time and are taking shelter
Speaker 2: in a small cake. Good. Oh wow, you're both still calm.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I have some experience with storms and with horses.
Speaker 2: You've got to be calm and confident, strong and gentle
Speaker 2: horses can feel our moods, so in times like these
Speaker 2: we need to be relaxed for them. You must feel
Speaker 2: a lot better than before then, yeah, I guess I do. Hmm,
Speaker 2: maybe it's something we did for each other. We should
Speaker 2: probably hang out with wilder. Then he's not looking very relaxed.
Speaker 2: Oh man, the ace should have kicked in by now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he was breathing kind of hard and oh, never mind.
Speaker 2: He must be more comfortable now he's laying down. What
Speaker 2: he's laying down?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, what's wrong? I thought you said
Speaker 2: that was a good sign. You said laying down meant
Speaker 2: he was getting comfortable, feeling safe. Not this time. We
Speaker 2: need to call the back quick. Something's wrong. I think
Speaker 2: it's callic call like, what's that? It's bad, very bad.
Speaker 2: Collicking means he doesn't get held fast, he'll die
Speaker 3: To
