This one is up there with your best, but why did you change to Ben being the narrator for the first third of page 3?

I have not read any of your other work, but they must be good!
I personally like a little more descriptive and more sex overall but this was maybe right for this story. I agree with the other reader on the change of voice, and a couple of word choices that make me think you haven't spent much time on a farm, but overall no real negatives, the story line and telling far out-shadow those little things.
I don't understand your use of Tags, I must say.
Overall, would be a 10 on a scale of 5, if I could

There is something "off" with this story. It seems rushed so that things were skipped and the story became herky-jerky. Good but not your best.
A very tidy story in the best traditions of the art.
I look forward to reading more!

I liked this one but the speed of them falling in love was a little awkward, like weeks took place from the time they fell asleep to the time they woke up. Just a small thing in an otherwise good story.
Good story line but I felt that the courting could have been stretched out a bit. Jackie did not sound at all like a good fiancé and thus his ability to choose is put in doubt.
I've just re-read this story (I've lost count of the number of times), and noticed a rare (for you) technical error.
The order of speed when riding is walk, trot, canter, gallop, but you have Ben cantering before trotting.

They had to be about the fastest 2 people on earth -
Both engaged (regardless of how reluctantly) and they both kick loose and get together while watering the horse LOL.
But around that is was fun -
and that is the way to deal with bullying assholes...ruin them totally....a great tale of love for them both and their horses...and children...
