Just want to let you know this is my dream horse! And my dad’s username for every game he played was always Dragonfly Down and for some reason I fell in love with it, when I got on chicken smoothie I always wanted someone to make him! Thank you so much for making my dream come true!

First Encounter:
I thought my life was perfect, just my mom, me and a couple other Waris on the farm. I loved that open green meadow that backed up to the sea, I would run along the shore and yelp in pleasure as the foaming water tried to grab me but I was too quick for it, then I would chase it back down into the ocean then it would try to grab me again! Those waves always won, I would always get tired then it would slither around my hooves and then triumphal sink back into the ocean. My mother would watch me with some of the other adults with amused eyes. I would play that game with my best friend; Fretum she was even named after the waves. My mother named me after the dragonfly’s in the meadow, when I was younger we would chase them in the field, I still do sometimes, she loved those dragonfly’s. It was two years after I was born that my world changed, I knew the other Waris would come and go, some never came back. Fretum's parents left and never returned, we became closer after that. I think i was starting to have feelings for her, she were best palls and she was so sweet. That morning I was going to walk with her down and the shore and ask her to be my mate, but I never got to. The day started out strange enough, there was more trucks then I have ever seen before in the front . I walked to the far end of the corral where the gate was always open to get to the ocean but it was closed, it was never closed, I ran back to find my mom and I saw the humans loading her into one of the trucks. Then I felt a hand on my chin and something connecting to my halter. I looked down a human was trying to lead me away, angered I reared and bucked, I wasn’t going down without a fight. The man stubled backwards and loosed his grip but before I could run away two more men came to his aid and tried to pull me forward, I was about to buck again but then the first man put something over my eyes and I couldn’t see. I stood still not knowing what to do then I felt a tug on my halter encouraging me to go forward. Reluctantly I let the man lead me into the trailer. There was a loud bang inside me and ten it was quite. The drive seemed to take days, but my mind was too numb to notice, in just a few short minutes I lost my mom, Fretum, the meadow with dragonflies, the ocean and my home. I stood there dazed until we stopped. There was a loud bang behind me and fresh air filled the small trailer. Someone led me out and then uncovered my eyes. The first thing I did was run, I ran blindly but I knew I was in a meadow, then there was a fence, quickly I turned and ran alongside he fence until I realized I ran in a circle I did it again and again. Then I stopped and panted, I looked around, the fence closed me in a small corral. There was a lady at the gate entrance watching me. I snorted and cuffed the ground, I was angry but when I looked into her eyes I saw sorrow, and light. Slowly I walked up to her and sniffed her, she smelled good I noticed. She chuckled and held out her hand and stroked my muzzle, it felt good and for some reason, I knew I was going to be all right.

Introduction to tack:

I have finally settled down a bit, it wasn't so bad here, there was plenty of shade and room to run, but there was no ocean, no field of dragonflies, and no friends, the horses her were not friendly and turned their backs to me when i passed by, but that human was nice, well she never did anything mean. I was busy contemplating all of this and then i saw her walking towards me, she was caring a big leather seat that i have seen her put on other horses, she placed it on the fence and i expected her to go towards the big black mare that shared the corral with me, but instead she headed towards me. i trusted her though, she attached a rope to my halter and led me towards the fence. she tied the rope to the fence and started to groom me. it felt great, i eventually sort of half dozed off, if you know what i mean, then i felt a heavy wait on my back. i turned quickly but her hand met my face before i could do anything. she stroked me softly and i looked from her the the saddle she put on my back. i stood still not knowing what to do. she untied the rope and encouraged me to walk forward, i sort of shuffled towards her, the saddle was throwing off my balance, but after a couple laps i got used to it. every day she would come and place the saddle on me then two weeks later she did something odd. after putting the saddle on me she stuck her fingers in my mouth where i have no teeth, surprised and not wanting to hurt her i opened my mouth in protest and a cold piece of metal come into my mouth and she strapped something over me mouth, i chewed on it then bucked trying to get it off,then the ropes that were attached to the metal tugged on my mouth. i later knew that that was a bridle and i also got used to it.

First Ride

It had been a couple weeks and I had finial gotten used to the tack, it was hard at first to keep balance on the sharp turns but now it was easy, it wasn’t getting so bad living here either. There was a barb named Eclipse, his show name as Eight Minutes of Glory which I thought was pretty cool. He was nice to me, even gave me tips on how to maneuver with the tack. Then the lady did something weird again, after she groomed me I expected her to put the tack on me again but instead I felt an unfamiliar weight, I turned around sharply and then I relied she was on me. I was not sure what to do and she stocked my neck softly and whispered in my ear. I calmed down a bit but was still unsure what to do. She nudged my rib cage and made a whistling noise she uses to tell me to go forward. I did uneasily at first then I started walking with confidence. She jeered with joy and I started to trot, she encouraged me to go faster and then I went into a canter then gallop. We ran out of the corral and into the meow, the dragonlyless meow, but it was fun, we worked together, I didn’t know the area to well and she guided me. I was her feet and she was my eyes. We ran for hours till we came to a stream. I stopped but then jumped right in and wadded across the water. She shrieked in joy and rubbed the cool water up my neck. Then we headed back and she fed me. It was my best day yet.

What Happens Next:

First it was weeks, then months, then two years went by, I barley remembered the meadow of dragonfly’s, my mother was a blur and I couldn’t remember Fretum’s soft voice. It didn’t matter now, I was over it, and I got a new name too, only used for my competitions at cross country. I was Dragonfly Down, with many measles and ribbons and trophies by my stall. I was happy, my best bud Eclipse and I could concord the world. However once again fate had other ideas in mind and my life was about to change forever, again. It was a cool crisp morning. a sure sign of winter on the way. I was trotting along the fencing of the meadow and heard trucks, there must have been a new horse arriving, it happens once in a while and I went over to go check. Then I saw her, I stood there shocked as her crème coat emerged from the truck and she squinted in the bright light. Then I called out to her. She pricked her ears then turned and looked at me. She ran at full gallop at me and the man who held her harness couldn’t hold on. I was wondering why she was running so fast at the fence, she was going to hit it if she didn’t slow down. I underestimated her she jumped right over it. Still stunned I stood there then I came to my senses. I ran towards her and greeted her happily. Over the next two weeks we caught up on everything and she told me she had become a jumper and her show name was Crashing Down. We officially became mates and I can’t wait to have a foal of my own.
