imagine a future moment in your
life where all your dreams come true .
[/color]oday was the day. Not just a day, but the day where she would gain a new mare. Her heart was beating at an incredibly fast rate as if she had just run a marathon. Her eyes green eyes sparked with excitement, and for a moment she resembled an innocent child waiting to receive their gift. What an expensive gift Skylar was giving herself. The mare she was getting had cost her $1,000. The five foot girl sat on the pasture. Her gray mare Serenade standing next to her and her nostrils quivered and picked up on the excitement that exploded through her owner’s body. At the height of five feet even, Skylar was light and precious cargo to Serenade. Not only that, but her dear Skylar was deaf. Completely deaf without her hearing aids, but like every other day, Skylar had her hearing aids on. Her beige colored riding pants swayed with her legs as she sat there fidgeting.T
S[/color]erenade looked at her curiously, and placed her muzzle on her arm. Skylar smiled and stroked her neck as they watched a trailer turn into the driveway of Shady Lane Ranch. Oh that blessed truck that hauled a blessed trailer. Her heart leapt happily inside her chest. Skylar’s pale pink lips spread into a satisfied smile that looked shy. She jumped off the pasture fence, and Serenade nickered confused. The truck came to a stop, and she walked to the trailer, completely ignoring the man that looked like he was about to talk to her. She turned the corner and saw her beautiful mare. She entered the trailer, and the mare stepped out. Serenade looked at the mare. Her face seemed to read “Ugh.. A mare? Why couldn’t you have gotten a filly or a stallion?” Her new mare named Here For Your Entertainment shone nicely in the light. She was clearly groomed and taken care of. Lady was her barn name, and Skylar grinned at the sight of Lady.
L[/color]ady was a breeding experiment. Her coat was black and white, and on a first glance she would look like a spotted zebra. However, Lady was 3/4 Friesian and 1/4 Appaloosa. Her front side looked like she had fallen in soot. Darker marks covered the black, and past her neck and a little of her underbelly, she turned white with black spots. Her legs were mainly black with white flecked in them. All in all, she was a beautifully colored mare who had conformation beyond compare. Skylar knew it, she had seen her move at the “exhibition” when she bidded on Lady. Serenade snorted at the older mare, and her brown eyes narrowed on her. She was haltered in purple, and it suited her finely. Skylar gazed at Serenade, and walked Lady up to her. Serenade snorted and gazed at Skylar, but she wanted to please her and not make her mad. Lady sniffed Serenade, and Serenade had squealed. Lady tossed her head, and this made Skylar smile. They would get along just swell.
W[/color]ith an excited look on her face, she patted Serenade to bid her farewell. She wanted to try riding Lady with tack for once. The thought seemed weird to Skylar. She was used to riding Serenade bareback, seeing as she wasn’t fully broken in yet. Serenade watched but returned to grazing. Skylar would be back later. She knew it. Skylar paid the man, and sent him on his way; however, Skylar was simply happier than a kid at Disney World. She walked into the barn, and put her at the cross-ties. Skylar had ordered English tack for Lady alone. Serenade had her own set waiting to be used. Both tack sets were simply black save for the white saddle pads. Skylar gathered the tack up quickly, and she didn’t know she was moving in a rather rushed way. She approached Lady, and she looked at her with soft eyes. She nickered and tossed her head. Skylar patted her black and white face gently. She placed the white saddle pad, but struggled to put the saddle on. She quickly grabbed a stool and smiled, but secretly she was yelling at her genes for making her so damn short. She slung over the English saddle and threaded the girth through it and tightened it. Lady nickered and threw her head up again.
S[/color]kylar moved over to her face, and offered the bit to Lady. Lady took it eagerly, and Skylar smiled. She slipped the halter out from underneath her black bridle, and put it back in the tack room. She grabbed the reins, and led Lady out. Stepping onto a tree stump, Skylar mounted Lady. Skylar was right. It did feel weird riding with tack on. She squeezed Lady’s side, and noticed she was sensitive to any touch. Skylar smiled and felt her go into a gentle walk. Her movements were fluid and well connected. She waved good bye to Serenade as she reared and whinnied, galloping around the fencing. She was eyeing Lady, and her actions looked a little aggressive. If Lady didn’t bring her back fully intact, Serenade would tear off that pretty little head of hers. Lady’s neck arched naturally, and Skylar was getting a little ahead of herself. She would be able to finally show a horse of hers. She clucked her tongue, and Lady moved into a collected trot. It was smooth sailing as they headed towards the trails at a gentle trot. Skylar moved well with her, and she smiled with exuberance. Nothing could ruin this. That she was sure of.
