My grandmother wasn't one for big, grandeur celebrations. I lived with her because she was the only person I knew who would let me keep my horses. A soft knock roused me from sleep. There was a lot of chatter down stairs--and the tones of their voices weren't the usual for a holiday. I slid out of bed, my center of gravity tipping haphazardly. I peaked outside to see if it had snowed, and was confused to see a fresh tire tracks on the driveway. A horse whinnied from outside, and my heart started to pound. There had been rumors about there being a new horse for Christmas, but it was only because the Howards where moving to Florida and had to re-home their entire stable. I skipped downstairs, jumping the last three steps. My grandmother and aunt stood at the counter, excitement in their eyes. "Get your shoes syn." Grandmother said, rubbing her hands together and practically bouncing where she stood. I went to open my mouth--I needed an explanation--but she cut me off and pushed me towards the door. I tugged my boots on, hastily grabbing my jacket off of it's hook as she impatiently pushed me outside. It wasn't as cold as I had expected. It was almost pleasant, which was saying something, because winter in Northern America is rarely described as 'pleasant'. The barn door was wide open, and horses chuffed and snorted audibly. "Grandma, what is thi--" She waved her hand impatiently, keeping constant pressure on my back as if I were going to stop walking. A bright mare, standing with her shoulders level to my chest peered out from the door. Her breath rose into the air in short puffs, and she tossed her head impatiently, tugging on the lead that held her. My own horse, Parcel, stretched her neck over her stall door, her ears swiveling with distaste at the new mare. "Merry Christmas, August." Grandma said, releasing her death grip on my back.
Realization dawned on me, and I knees went weak. I stumbled towards the mare with my hands outstretched. The mare greeted me with warm lips, her warm gold eyes holding my attention. I had met this mare several times when she was a foal, but since she was a pure bred, and the foal of two successful show horses, I couldn't afford to buy her.
"Who bought her?" I asked, keeping a hand on the mare's neck when I looked back at my grandma and my aunt.
They shared a look, but didn't care to elaborate.
"Someone came here with a trailer saying they had a gift for August Krupski." My aunt explained in her subtle Polish accent.
I laughed nervously, looking back at the mare. She dipped her head, her eyes half lidded in contentment. She was finally home.

Love it the way it is! c:
I have been diagnosed with Emotional Intensity Disorder, Depression, and ADHD, so my inbox is always open to people who need to talk.
I thoroughly enjoy horseback riding, writing, biology/chemistry/animal science. I also love to study and research law. I'm currently at school in Ohio studying Zoology, and am hoping to one day achieve a masters in primate studies!
I've done volunteer work in South Africa, most of it spent working with infant Chacma Baboons and Vervets, but did get a chance to work with big game animal like lions, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs and giraffes. If anyone is looking for resources, I'd love to help! * * *These are my personal gifs made from personal video, please ask before you use!
