The mockingbirds sung in their choir and the wind whistled through the emerald green leaves of the ancient oak sitting in the corner of the pasture. I quietly watched as the other horses in the field next to mine basked in the warm sun, seemingly without a care in the world. Their carelessness ensnared me, with no explanation to be found. How could they feel so at ease while I sit anxiously awaiting the worst to come?
That’s when I saw her. Her gleaming coat shone in the sun’s rays, her white markings so bright that they had almost blinded me. I had heard her name once before, slipping from the lips of the bright eyed stable boy. Salem. She trotted with her head held high, ears flicking in all directions, as soon as I saw her I knew. This was the reason the herd was so at ease.
Salem happily made her way to her stallion, a tiny foal zipped back to his father’s flank upon her arrival. But Salem lovingly assured the little one that everything was alright. The mare nuzzled her mate, and softly nickered a greeting to him.
This tore me up. Never had I wanted to be with another horse more. I neighed, pleaded for her assurance, but she did not come. She didn’t come trotting up to me that day, or ever. I turned around and began to slowly shamble to the great oak that had given me shade and comfort on my worst of days. That’s when I heard him. He softly whinnied for me. It was Splash, one of the Stallions from the field next to mine. I had noticed that Splash was just as disregarded as myself, and often wondered if it was for good reason.
I nervously looked at him, unsure of whether or not this was a good idea, but my loneliness and sheer need for companionship overthrew me. I slowly walked to the tall stallion, and, as I saw it, each step was getting me closer and closer to an unfathomable change. If my dam had seen me now, she would have joked that I was on my way to the executioner. After what had seemed like an entirety of trudging through the tall green grass, I was at the fence. He gently pressed his nose to mine, and we exchanged breaths ever so carefully. Suddenly, I felt a soft nuzzle on my neck, giving me the feeling as if everything would be okay. A single tear rolled down my face, and for once in a life time, I felt as though I had a friend who I could reside in.
Every day after that, we ran laps together in the field, only stopping only to meet each other at the fence line. We spent hours laughing together, crying together and everything in between. That bright eyed eventually stable boy took note of this, and Splash was permanently moved into my field. As soon as they released him into the field, we both ran to each other so quickly, that we both were surprised we didn’t throw a shoe in the process.
Now we are old and tired boned, and while neither of us are energetic yearlings anymore, we still enjoy a lap or two around the field for old times sake.
This is my first time doing anything close to a role play, so please be gentle ^^ thank you so much for the chance to win this beautiful boy, I hate to say it, but I’m attached XD
One more note, how do we know if we’ve won? I’ve never done this before ^^
