Fia's Favourite Quotes

[tequila.]

Boss lady walked down the barn aisle towards my stable. She smiled at me, food bucket in hand, encouraging my happy thoughts enough for me to whinny to her. She had bought me only a few weeks ago now and, I was becoming more and more attached her as the days passed by, and it was becoming increasingly harder to attempting a lie about hating her guts, when Romeo asked. The key word being attempting. I knew front the word go that he could see through my lies, but he never doubt or questioned it.

Boss lady had nearly reached me as, a scrawny boy with a mop of dark black hair on top of his hair that reminded me very much of something boss lady would use to clean my tack with before a competitions.

"Espera!”The boy called in a foreign language, as he sprinted down the corridor. He was now stood next to boss lady panting madly as he tried to absorb as much air as possible before he had to speak again. "Es September ha saltado la valla... y es con... las yeguas!”

“WHAT?” Boss Lady exclaimed, a puzzled expression crossing her features as she tried to decipher what the boy had yelled.

“Oh! I forgot, you don’t speak Spanish.” He announced, as he looked at her confused expression.

Boss lady slapped a had to her face in frustration, "I swear I work with morons." She muttered under her breath so the boy could not hear, before regaining her posture, "Spit it out Tristan!" She said, as though he were an annoying fly that continued to buzz.

“It’s September he has jumped the fence and he’s in with the mares!” He said rushing the words out of his mouth. A look of pure panic managed to rush its self onto boss lady's face as he finished his sentence, dropping my poor defenceless food bucket.

September was a Pintaloosa Ranger, like myself, he was normally very laid back, but at times he could be dangerously reckless, he was 16.3hh and what made him look even taller was the fact that he held his head high.

Boss lady and the mop hair boy had already began to start sprinting up the hall of the barn, Boss lady stopping to grab September's light green head collar and lead rope, before continuing to sprint.


I turned to look a Romeo, giving him a questioning look. What on earth could of passed through September's mind to make him jump into the mares paddock?! He was such an idiot at times! And to make matters worst I could she my corn bucket abandoned where boss lady had thrown it before she ran off, the chaff scattered across the floor, with small pieces of carrot and apple mixed into it... Yum... I can't believe that dodo brain went and did that! Especially before I got given my chaff!

I sighed. The struggles of being a modern day mare... No chaff, and the dangers of clowns roaming the streets. I inwardly shivered at the thought pushing it out my mind as I heard boss lady shouting, before a blonde and a brunette ran in ripping open the doors of empty stalls

"I... hate... this job... sometimes..." The brunette shouted breathlessly to the other.

"Shut up!" The blonde scolded distastefully. "You'd miss it if yo-" She stopped mid sentence, throwing her head up to the open barn doors.

That's when I heard it. Pricking my ears at the sound of thundering hooves, and watching as the two girls made a break for the tack room, slamming the door shut as Pintaloosas of all colours passed by, darting into various stables, before boss lady and mop hair came in shutting the barn doors behind them.

"Taylor, Phoebe you wimps it's safe now!" Boss lady called as the two girls peeped their heads out from round the tack room door.

"Remind me to take up knitting... It seems less cut throat." The Brunette stated. The others laughed at her statement, as boss lady scooped the remains of my chaff of the floor, the carrot and apple were now squished in to an unrecognisable mush, that was completely uneatable.

Boss lady gently patted my neck, "Sorry we didn't get to do any training today Fia." She said apologetically, "Today has been a really weird day..." She said her gaze shifting to the mop haired boy, a weird expression appearing on her face, as her friend made a 'oooh' sound. Humans. I'll never understand them...



And I never did get my chaff...

A month had passed after September's little stunt, it was Boss lady's birthday. Mop hair, (as I now referred to him), came to the barn early, along with the blonde and brunette.

They were all muttering two each other how 'Ashley will love this' and 'It would be such a surprise'... who even is Ashley? Was she a new Ranger at the barn?

I was quickly fed my corn before being tacked up and led by mop head who was currently riding September, it looked odd as September stood at least a head above me.

We soon arrived at a tall grey building that stood up, the roof brushing the sky like a dove. Mop hair jumped off September before grabbing my reins and leading me towards one of the walls and pressing a button.

“I want you to look out the window.” The Mop hair said, into the little communication box.

"What on Earth Tristan! I was sleeping!" The crackly reply came through the box, spooking me slightly, what was this strange contraption?

There was a short pause as a figure appeared in one of the windows of the building, the crackling started again, “Why have you got Fia?” The voice asked.

"Come down and you’ll see!” Mop hair said, a smirk appeared on his face and a playful look passed through his eyes.

Boss Lady suddenly came into view from the bottom of the building, she yanked the door open, ran out and gave mop hair a hug, wrapping her arms round his neck.

“What's this then?” Boss Lady asked.

“A horse, I thought you of all people would know that.” Mop hair replied cockily... he had a point.

“You know what I mean, what’s it in aide of?” Boss Lady said curiosity lacing her voice.

“One of your birthday presents! Do you like it?" Mop hair smiled, cause you always say you want to ride to the stables so... I thought this would be nice..."

“No! I see Fia everyday!” Boss Lady said to Mop hair, his face quickly turned from a bright smile to a frown as I stomped my hoof angrily. In my opinion I'm pretty fabulous! How dare she say that?! There was a pause. "I love it!” Mop hair seem to smile at this.


“How did you get here?” Boss lady said looking for the around.


“I rode here!” He said, and then suddenly the blonde and Mucky, the brunette and Bubbles appeared, the blonde was leading September who was now franticly trying to escape. Boss lady pulled her hard hat onto her head and did up the strap.

“Want a leg up?” Mop hair offered cupping his hands. Boss Lady placed her foot delicately into his cupped hands and then sprigged up onto the horse back.

We stood still, whilst Mop hair jumped up onto September’s back.

We were now at the end of the drive way when Boss Lady looked to the others.

"Fancy a race?" She smirked.

"You think you can beat me?" Mop hair asked.

"Yeah definitely!" Boss Lady shouted as we turned around and cantering for the open gate into the field. With ease, I opened my strides, eating the ground up, once in the field Boss lady slowed me down to a steady canter.

"Anyone coming?" Boss Lady shouted, at this Mop hair kicked September and the horse responded by going into a gallop.

Within a few strides we were neck and neck each of us matching the others stride, but I was ready for the next step in Boss Lady's plan. "Eat my dust!" Boss Lady laughed, as she gave me a nudge with her heels and lent low over my neck, quickly I pinned my ears back and lowered my neck slightly, stretching my strides out once more, Mop hair left behind with his mouth hanging open.

Once Boss Lady and me reached the yard we slowed and waited for the others, Mop hair and September were not far behind, but as for the blonde and brunette they were quite a way behind. Finally, when they had reached the yard the blonde said "Ref we need a re-match, in about... 3 months when Mucky's fit!" At this they all started to laugh.

"Come on let's bed the horses down and, we can go out for food or something?" Boss Lady suggested as they walked into the barn.

"Well done Fe, you did good." She said, patting my neck gently, "We kicked butt!" She laughed, as I nickered a response.


Maybe I'll get some extra chaff?
