Handshakes and good to meet yous.

SESS: And Sess is fine. Tom, I don't know a thing about your horseback experience but I'd bet this isn't your first rodeo.

TOM: No ma'am, it ain 't.     

JACKIE: Literally.

SESS: Really?

JACKIE: I'll let Tom elaborate if he wants to, and apologize, Tom, if I you'd rather I had kept that in my pocket.'.

TOM: Oh no, that's alright.. Some barrels when I was a kid and ropin' in my teens. 

JACKIE: Sess would never bring it up but she's got a few buckles of her own. Sorry, cuz.

SESS: Aw, shucks.

CLAIRE: Maybe we'll bring the barrels out before the day's over.

SESS: I don't know about that. Speaking of the day, you've probably mentioned what we're doing here with the kids and horses.

JACKIE: Check.

TOM: And it's a wonderful thing.

SESS: We hope so. Work in progress just off the ground. So, speaking of the kids and horses, why don't we go meet them and saddle up.  

JACKIE: Let's.

Sess, Claire and Jackie lead Tom, Hunter and Chloe to the horses and kids.
