Forever My horse died today, I will miss her so, my horse died today, I don't know what to do, now how will I ride? How will I show? What will I do? Sitting in the pasture, sad as can be, little gelding bumps into me, I look into his goofy face, his eyes seem to say "hey I'm still here! What about me?" Riding my gelding, happy as can be horses come and they go I'm moving on, but i will never let go I will miss my horse forever, but she is forever in my memories and my gelding is still here for me.	nightsong & Dream Catcher

Thunder Rider by 898Alexandra898 In my village there is a story about the Thunder rider It began with a girl her name was Macy, She lived in an orphanage. her parents had abandoned her when a she was a baby. She had lived in the orphanage her whole life and had never been outside its walls.She had never gotten along with the other kids because she was crippled the other kids would laugh at her or take her crutches so she would have to hop around and try to get them so she normally just sat on the wall and watch the wild herds would run she thought they were the most beautiful thing so majestic and wonderful sometimes she would get down of the wall and hide in a bush she loved watching then splash through the water. But as she got down this time she saw a mountain lion sneaking up on the herd. She thought it would hurt one of the foals. when the herd saw the lion they took off through the forest but in the meadow where they were was a young foal. It was smaller than the other's and couldn't run as fast the mountain lion. as the mountain lion ran the foal tripped and fell. Macy couldn't let the baby die so she picked up the biggest rocks she could find and jumped out from behind the bush. She started yelling at the lion and throwing rocks at it the lion grabbed the foals leg and tried to pull it. But Macy threw a rock and hit the lion on the head. The lion dropped the foal and ran Macy waited tell she couldn't see the lion anymore. Then ran to make sure the foal was okay. It tried to get up and run away but when the foal put it's weight on it injured leg it fell again. Macy hobbled to it's side. She stroked it's muzzle and calmed it when it's breathing had slowed and it was calmer she inspected its leg it had a deep gash in it and was bleeding badly. She tore of a peace of the dress she was wearing in rapped it around the foals leg to slow the bleeding. She needed to get it somewhere safe so she helped it get to a cave a couple a yards away from the orphanage she laid down her coat and let the foal lay on it. Then she covered the opening with sticks and weeds. She couldn't stay to long. So after a little while she suck back into the orphanage. By the time she got back it was dark and everyone was in bed she snuck past one of the care takers and went to bed. Later that night she got up and snuck back out the colt. Was laying on her coat. When she emerged in the cave the colt picked up its head when it realized it was her it laid back down she curled up next to the foal and fell asleep. She woke up a couple hours later and snuck back inside the walls. at breakfast she put an apple in her pocked, went to the first aid kit and grabbed bandage raps the grabbed a bucket She filled it up at the well. And climed over the wall.When she got to the cave the colt was up moving around when she entered the cave it nickerd to her and walked over to her. she put the water bucket down and backed away the foal anxiously drank the water. she walked to its back leg and began to rap the colts legs. When the colt was done with the water it walked over to her and began sniffing her pockets she laughed and pulled out the apple the colt took it happily. Macy walked over to the entrance of the cave and found a small string. she fixed it into a halter and tied it around the colt. the colt pulled on it. When it realized it wasn't getting away it put it's head down and started grazing. She decided it needed a name it. So she named it Thunder for several weeks she took care of it. And trained it. Thunder began to come to her when she whistled And would do tricks. When a 2 years went by she decided she wanted to see if he would let him ride here she made a makeshift bridle and jumped on Thunder's back he freaked out a pit but stood still. she kicked a little bit and he walked forward a little she pulled back on her makeshift bridle and stooped him. in A couple weeks she could ride him like he was apart of her. She felt like she was whole again when She rode him like all her troubles where gone. One day men came. They roped the wild herd and put them in corals They found Thunder and tried to take him. When Macy saw this she ran and tried to stop them the just pushed her aside. When Thunder saw this he tore the ropes from the men's hands nocking them down he ran to her side and Macy jumped on Thunders back. And Thunder took of into the woods.	898Alexandra898 & Ducky

Entry for the June 2021 Magazine: Furever Friends: A dog and human story. I still remember the day she came home, fluffy, excited and happy. We got Bridget, a 9 year old adult Sheltie/ German Shepherd mix, when no-one else wanted her. I was in shock. The day we met, I got out of the car, and she tackled me, licking me all over. She was in foster care with other shelties, and did not like the others. People had come to see her, and no-one ever came to take her home. It was love at first sight! It was decided immediately she would come home in a few weeks. She came home and settled in wonderfully! She was extremely playful, cuddly, and sweet. Bridget was perfect! This dog was the dog no-one wanted? The dog with German Shepherd colors and sheltie fluff? This playful cuddlebug? I still can't believe it! Last year, I found out we are the same age. We are 13, older than either of her breeds are supposed to live to! I suppose the reason she was not adopted sooner may have been because of her age, but now, 4 years later, I don't think age should ever be an issue! If you can take an old dog from a shelter, do it! Let them live out their days in a home with people who love them! So the dog is old, it could, probably will, live longer in a home with care and love. If I can, one day, I will adopt only the oldest dogs, or the ones with the most special needs, because the old dogs are the hidden gems, with potential beyond your wildest dreams! These dogs open up, and are so grateful to have a home, and food, a bed, and love, because they know what it is like to not have that! That is what makes this all worthwhile! You never know what you will find with them! I don't know how much longer she and I have together, but I will continue to give her my love, and care, to make her happy until the day she dies! Because that is what she wants and needs. For my Bridget, I love you and will keep on loving you long after you are gone.	ILoveLydia & Molly

How Callie got Taffy Ever since she could remember, Callie had wanted a horse. She asked for one every chance she got; Christmastime, her birthday, and when her parents wanted to reward her. She tried and tried, but nothing would convince them. Apparently, Santa wouldn't get her one either. Eventually, determined to get a horse, even if she had to earn board for it every month, she got a job. Now, I should probably mention she was 13, so not exactly a lot of jobs open for her. She couldn't think of anything else to do, so she started pet-sitting, dog walking, and babysitting. Luckily, her Grandpa said he would buy her a horse, but, as her parents had said, keeping it was the problem, not buying it. She worked for months, and saved every bit she got, and eventually, she saved enough to board a horse for a month and a half. "Well, it's not much, but I can earn more, and with Grandpa offering to buy me one, I can find a way to keep it." The next month, Callie went out with her Grandpa to see horses at an auction. There were so many! Warmbloods, Quarter horses, Thoroughbreds, and Paint horses! In the end, she picked a little caramel-colored Warmblood, promptly named Taffy. Callie was the happiest she had ever been! All her work had finally paid off. Next story coming soon...	ILoveLydia & Molly
