day on the farm

Running out of the house she ignored her mom yelling at her from the doorway. She ran down to the barn slowing down only when she got through the door. The smell of horses and straw assaulted her nose as eagerly looked into the stall to see the new stallion. She was in awe of the big black beast. A small knicker brought her out of her stupor as she walked down to her mare. Angel stuck her head out the stall and nipped her displeasure as Allie brought her out.

“Ok ok angel geez”Allie giggled softly as the red mare seemed to prance out of her stall. Walking Angel past the new stallions seemed to peek the mares curiosity but a tug on her rope she trotted out. Taking a bridle from the fence post she tossed Angels reigns over her nec and climbed onto her back. With a gentle nudge they were back on track, flying past the trees and kicking up loose dirt. They were one as the galloped down the fence line. Slowing down to a trot Allie could feel Angel prancing to run more. She trotted her some more before forcing her into a gallop towards the house. She let her mind run free as she tried to forget about her step-father. With the barn in sight she slowed back down and trotted through the open doors. Taking off the bridle she put more water in the bucket and fresh hay and oats in the lil trough. Patting the mares sweaty side she thanked her for the little escape.
