His name will be Eko
First Touch -
I sighed as I sat on the fence, watching Eko greedily devour his bucket of food. Once he was finished, he started stalking around it, grumbling and growling any time a crow came too close. He laid by the bucket, wrapping around it protectively. I hopped off the fence and hit the ground with a small thud. His ears twitched, but he showed no other sign of noticing me. I walked to him slowly, hand held out. "Hey Eko... You haven't been here long, I know, but its okay. You're okay." I spoke softly as I knelt beside him. He uncurled from around the bucket, revealing the damage he'd done, crushing in the sides of it. He sat up, turning his head to face me. He sniffed my hair before plopping his handyfoot on my head. I glanced up, looking at him curiously, trying not to move my head. We sat like that for awhile before he got up and wandered off to do whatever it is he likes to do. He's still a mystery to me.
First Saddle-
What a pig. He stole my apple, just to toss it in the dirt and guard it. He wasn't even eating it! I hissed in annoyance and walked into the arena. Eko grabbed the apple in his teeth and growled at me. I pointed at the saddle, glaring at him. "You stole my apple, now I'm going to saddle you. The crime fits the punishment, so hold still and you can keep the apple." I said to him as I grabbed the saddle off the fence and plopped it on his back. He tightly held the apple in his mouth, still not eating it but refusing to let it go. I fastened the saddle and slipped a halter on him, ignoring his growl of protest to me being too close to "his" apple. I led him around the arena, proud that he was willing to work so easily. After awhile we stopped and I unsaddled him and let him go back to his pasture. He darted in excitedly, running off to bury his prize. I chuckled to myself as I put the saddle and halter away.
