Autumn Stables

Do you wanna go fast, Spice?

- Hey! - Hey, Autumn. How was your ride?

You should've seen Spice out there this morning.

He was practically flying.

I didn't have a stopwatch on me

but I probably guess about two-years-ago fast.

Whoa! So, wait.

Does that mean that you're thinking of training him again?

Oh, no. Those days are long behind us.

Plus, even if I wanted to,

it's not like I can afford it.

Okay.

- Still, exciting though. - Yeah.

So, is Coco ready for her lesson?

All set.

Come on.

Now, shake your head like this.

Good, you're ready to go.

Autumn?

You ready for your first lesson?

Mm-hm.

This is Coco

and she's very sweet

and she is very excited to meet you.

Go ahead, she won't bite.

Hi, Coco. It's nice to meet you.

- Hey! - Hey.

Hey, what's wrong?

- Nothing. - Nothing?

The horses and I can practically

hear your frustration from the stables.

Well, it's either I've gotten worse at math

or the ranch is in even bigger trouble than I thought.

That bad?

Yeah, this place wasn't meant

to be run by one person.

It's too much.

Don't panic. You'll figure something out.

I'm not panicking.

You are practically

scrubbing a hole into this counter.

Oh, well, it's filthy.

It's fine. You're panicking.

Maybe I can have a yard sale.

That would totally bring in extra money.

Get rid of some old junk.

See? Now you're thinking.

It's actually really productive

that you clean when you're stressed.

I don't clean when I'm...

Whatever. Just help me.

Think I can get three bucks for this thing?

Oh, no, we, we can't sell that.

Ben got me this when we first opened the ranch.

- As what, a paperweight? - As a joke.

- Oh, so it is useless. - It's sentimental.

If you keep putting stuff in that pile,

we're gonna have nothing left to sell, Autumn.

Let's just not sell Ben's stuff yet, okay?

That's a great lamp.

- Huh? - The lamp, it's a good one.

Three brightness levels.

I'll give you $8 for it.

It's a really nice lamp.

- How about $15? - How about $7?

No, you're supposed to go up. Actually, you know what?

I really like this lamp, so I'm just gonna take it...

Sir, $7 would be perfect.

Mom, look! A horse! Can we get it?

I'm sorry, but that horse

is just about the one thing not for sale.

Why don't you run inside and find something you can

afford with your allowance, huh?

This is a beautiful property.

Thank you.

Uh... In case you're ever in the market to sell...

Oh, uh, no...

It's just something to think about.

This really is a... It's a gorgeous property.

I can sell it in no time if you do decide to put it up.

Thanks. Good to know.

I knew you had a big house

but right now, I think there's an echo.

It looks like when Ben and I first moved in.

People thought we were crazy for buying such a big property

to fix ourselves, but there was something about this place.

You know how you, uh, can't get a song out of your head?

Yeah, sure.

It's kinda like that with this place.

I just could not get it out of my head.

You did an incredible job.

Building a home, welcoming so many people into it.

For a while, at least.

Chloe, if the yard sale was to help keep the ranch afloat,

why does it feel like I'm moving?

Just wait and see how you did today

before you make any decisions.

Yeah.

Someone tried to buy you today.

Don't worry.

You're in the sentimental pile.

What am I gonna do, Spice?

How's it looking?

Well, we did better than I thought we would.

Sounds like there's a, a "but" coming.

Even with the money we made today

and the extra riding lessons,

I can still barely cover next month's mortgage.

Oh, Autumn, I'm sorry.

I don't know how I let it get so bad.

If I have to close the ranch,

I feel like I'd be letting down Ben's memory.

You listen to me, Autumn Carlisle.

You and my son took a chance on this place

when everyone told you not to take the risk.

You followed your instinct then

and created something really wonderful.

Follow that instinct again now.

It won't be easy by any stretch of the imagination

but maybe it's time to move on.

Time to let this place go.

Plus, it's high time you let me retire.

I've got a life of my own to live.

I didn't realize I was keeping you.

Oh, there may be another option?

I will not let you sell a kidney.

I could start training again.

Training? Is that something you wanna do?

If it means keeping the ranch.

Maybe if I hadn't taken a step back from training,

I wouldn't be in this mess.

But I...

With Ben gone, I couldn't.

It's what we did together, you know?

I know.

Thank you, Howard, for everything.

We're family, Autumn.

No matter what.

No matter where.

Remember that, okay?

Okay.

What do you say, Spice?

You wanna get back into racing?

Yeah, didn't think so.

- All right, batter's ready. - Okay. Perfect.

Hon... Well...

Who wants chocolate chip, and who wants blueberry?

- Can I have both? - Hmm.

- I don't see why not. - Okay.

You have to teach me this perfect pancake recipe.

Happy to.

Sorry. The syrup.

Oh...

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Okay, gang.

Family meeting.

I've, uh, thought about this a lot.

And...

And I've decided

that I'm putting the ranch up for sale.

I want you to know how thankful I am

for all the years that we spent here together.

I couldn't have done it without you.

This... has been a very hard decision to make

but I think it's the right decision.

And I hope that you do, too.

We're so proud of you.

We support you no matter what, Autumn.

Oh, you're the best.

- Well, these posts here. - Mm-hm.

What if we knocked 'em down?

Don't you think there'd be more flow?

Well, I believe that they're load-bearing.

The house itself is okay

but I, I hate the paint color.

Oh, that's easy to change.

Wow!

You know, is there any stipulation that I can't build

the world's largest hay maze?

Not to my knowledge.

Um, might be a zoning issue.

- That's why I asked you. - Yeah.

- Yeah, that's a fair question. - Yeah, you know...

I, uh, didn't realize anyone else was in here.

Oh, hey, I was, uh...

just having a look around.

Are they, are they yours?

Mm-hmm.

You're good with them. Do you ride?

No, no.

My, uh...

my mom used to.

She tried to teach me, but I, uh...

When I was a kid, I was just terrified of these guys.

So big and ferocious.

They're not so scary.

Guess they're smaller now.

He likes you.

What's his name?

Uh, that one is Coco.
