The document describes a family trip to Mackinac Island where the author's sister Hannah goes horseback riding for the first time. Hannah is very excited leading up to the ride and bounces off the walls at the stables. Both Hannah and their father go on a trail ride, with Hannah instructing the horse to go slowly. While they ride, the author and mother go shopping and get fudge. When they return, Hannah wants to ride again but their father refuses, so the family enjoys fudge instead.
