While that was true—the waiting for list to get an Equestrian Visa was months long—he didn’t want to put too much focus on that part. Of course, he was fairly sure that one of Star Spark’s friends would go with him. He pulled out a notebook from his pocket, and quickly wrote down his cellphone number. “You can call me if you need to, anytime.”
