Back Story: it was a blistery summer day, the chilly wind whipping at my blond hair...
I had been jogging along a slowly declining trail which led to a steep valley.
I loved going there, mainly because of the beautiful horses that called the place home.
I was just about to exit the tree line where I slumped over onto my knees to catch my breath.
wheezing slightly, I heard a soft snort and I lifted my gaze to widen in surprise.
in front of me was a beautiful stallion, his palomino coat shining in the afternoon sun.
I soon realized I was holding my breath and I gasped for air, causing the horse to back up
cautiously.
I gave a soft coo and quietly stepped forward and extending my hand,
feeling his furry lip graze my palm a soft smile spread across my pale face and my blue eyes
shown with excitement.
I reached back my head and looked up at a cackling starling overhead and my smile grew. the stallion
hadn't gone anywhere and I decided that I was going to tame him, grabbing a red-brown halter from
my sack I began to pet him gently and attempted to slip it over his oval dish head.
the horse had snorted in surprise and stepped away, scratching his broad neck over the bark of an
ash tree, before looking back at me with soft, curious eyes.
I felt my heart melt as I stepped forward again.
this time trying a little harder to get his head through the loop of the halter and he obeyed.
slipping his yellow, beige head through the soft leather to where I clipped it shut.
...
it had been a few months since I had caught lucky, the palomino had adjusted very well to his
new home and I was happy to see him fitting in with the rest of the herd.
a soft smile crept across my pale lips as I saw him play with my other stallion.
I would breed him soon, his tender nature and soft eyes always touched people who came to visit.
it touched mine too.
as I reached over the gate and secured my hand around his leather halter I lead him to the back of the barn.
a picnic table and a plastic bag sat In the back.
he nickered softly, catching the sweet scent of apples wafting from the white back and he took a step forward
though I held him still, I sat down on the hard wood, feeling the texture graze my arm as I reached into the
bag and brought out a gala apple and held it in front of the nose of my stallion, he snorted and took a bite,
the foamy juice of the apple beginning to drip down his chin as he crunched down on the red skin, he nickered softly
and nudged me, causing me to jerk a little but I soon laughed.
I loved my new horse!
