| Title: The Foal's Journey part 5
By: Horsesforever12 I guess both me and Silver Tongue had eyes for a sweet, pretty white mare named The Trotting Lady, or "Lady" for short. I went up to her one day and nickered a "Hello". She whinnied back, though shyly, and nuzzled my cheek. At that moment, Silver Tongue appeared and nipped Lady on the rump. She turned and neighed at him meanly. He snorted, wanting her to be HIS. I became uncontrollably angry, and reared at the stallion. His ears laid flat upon his head as he charged at me. Lady walked back, confused and upset over our fight. Before I knew it, we were in a full-fledge fight...the kind I had watched other stallions do, but never thinking I would do it someday. Finally he relented and we stood there, tired, weak, and fools. A stallion should win his mate by being strong, courageous, and wise. Not foolish and childish, fighting over a mare! But it had happened anyway, and Lady must choose one of us. She looked at me sorrowfully yet angrily, and galloped off. Great, she had chosen neither of us. A fight over nothing! I limped over to my mother, who had seen the whole thing and was not proud of me. I nickered a low "Sorry", and lay down to rest. I was wasting my time fighting, when I knew I had to protect my herd. |  Horsesforever12 & Jedi |

| Back to Black Part 3
I pull my hand away and mount Uranium. "No." Jason just sighs and walks away, I lead my caravan onward. I think of the many places I've never been. Miami. Too far. Chicago. Too wet. I finally settle on just wandering, my go-to, when I hear a very familiar voice say, "Where are we going?" I jump, almost falling off of Uranium. "What are you doing here, Jason?!" I yell, I whirl around to see Jason perched on Giant. "Following you." He laughed, as if it were obvious. "No, your not." I snap. This is why I HATED making friends. There's always a crazy one who tries this. Jason sobers. "I'm not letting you leave me. We have to find Cupid." I groan. "Let the police handle this. They're the professionals here." "Then we'll have to show them up." "Jason! Just go home! I've survived on my own for long enough!" My vision blurred and my throat swelled. "Woah. Are you crying?" "No!" I brushed away at the evidence. "Oh my gosh! You are!" "Don't be crazy. I never cry." "Except right now." "No. I merely had a bug in my eye." "Ha! Your lying." "Your right, but accusing me will get you nowhere. I have a mind to dump you off Giant right now, but-" Jason let out a triumphant whoop. "Yeah! I'm staying!" "But if I get accused of kidnapping, I'm going to slap you." I finished my threat. "I'm still coming." There was a moment of peaceful silence. "So where are we going?" I groan again, this would be a long ride. It was getting dark when we reached a clearing. "We'll camp here. I'll get the horses taken care of, you pitch the tent." "Will do!" He saluted and jumped off Giant, He began to work on the tent, I unpacked the horses and hung a line between two trees, I clipped double sided lines onto the rings. I put on each horses blankets and hoods, then I attached them to the line. I walked back to Jason and he threw a sleeping bag at me. "Your using this." "Fine by me" I mutter, we climb into the tent and I snuggled up in the bag, on the other side of the tent from Jason. Even so, I could feel the tent shaking as he shivered. "Baby" I muttered and slipped out of the bag, I chucked it at him, then rolled over and pretended to sleep. "Huh? Leah..." "You need it." |  ParelliChick & Lady of the Mist |

| Title: The Foal's Journey part 6
By: Horsesforever12 One night I just couldn't sleep. The shame of being a foolish and overall childish stallion was weighing me down. I walked silently under the white moon, shivering in the nighttime air. The stars danced above me like flowers of the spring, and the fireflies buzzed past me blinking and lighting up the sky. "I must protect my herd at all costs...no matter what." I thought to myself, staring yonder at the miles of fields...that i ever-so loved...that lay covered in the darkness of the night. I sighed and turned to head back to my resting place, when a dark figure stepped out of the shadows and into the moonlight. It was Lady...the mare that I had fought over and been so juvenile over...only wanting her to be my mate. I looked down and felt ashamed to even stand in her presence for more than one second. Then I felt her nose brush against my cheek and her eyes twinkle in a joyous way...yet softly. "Thunder...I know there is good in you, and that your heart is strong and willing to go through the water and the fire...for something you truly love...and that is what I love about you. I know you are ashamed of your mistake. And I forgive you." she said to me, and my heart was suddenly lifted of it's worries and shame that used to laden my poor soul. At that moment, I heard the screams of frightened neighs. | Horsesforever12 & Jedi |

| Title: Horse Camp
By: Horsesforever12 (this is MY real story, that happened to me last summer!) My alarm clock buzzed loudly. I quickly shut it off and climbed back in bed. Then I remembered: today i was going to horse camp! I had to wait for my dad to get up. I waited a few minutes and then my dad got up and walked downstairs. I had my nightgown off in seconds and slipped my cloths on: a t-shirt, jacket, and skinny jeans with holes in the knees. I flew downstairs and barely ate my cereal. My dad was getting his coffee. "Are you excited?" he asked me. "Yes," I told him, but inside i was screaming with excitement! I had always loved horses, but didn't get many chances to ride them. my mom woke up and came downstairs too. soon my brother and sister were up too. I packed my lunch and soon it was time to go. i slipped on my sneakers and kissed Mom goodbye. then Dad and me went out the door. we climbed in my dad's truck and pulled out of the driveway. the horse camp wasn't too far away. when we were almost there, my heart started pounding. What if they had too many riders and couldn't accept me? what if the instructor was really mean? what if the horse camp was really small and dirty? my thoughts raced and i became nervous. I bit my nail as the truck turned and entered a small driveway. I peered out the windshield and saw a quaint, little barn with horses. I climbed out and followed my dad into the barn, walked down the isle, and met a lady. she had blond-ish hair back in a ponytail and a t-shirt and shorts on. she smiled at me. She told my dad that they could accept me. my dad payed her, and then she showed me the horses. the were three dark brown horses, a white pony, and a bay mare that caught my eye. Molly, a pretty, normal sized mare. I rubbed her nose. i noticed she had a brown eye and a silver-ish eye! I wanted to ride HER! soon other kids started arriving and we began to do barn chores. the woman asked me, "would you like to clean Molly's stall?" "Yes!" I replied, and she handed me a pink pitchfork. I started dumping wood shavings that had manure or urine on them in a big bucket type thing. then we spread clean wood shavings around in the stall. soon, we were ready to get riding! The woman went to a clipboard on the wall and kids started shouting out who they wanted to ride. I stayed quiet. Then the woman turned to me and said, "I'll assign you to Molly. okay?" I nodded vigorously. I couldn't believe it! Molly! I was happy already. then we went out in the paddock to catch the horses. a girl helped me catch Molly. It was time to start grooming. I couldn't wait! T.B.C :) | Horsesforever12 & Jedi |

| The First Horse
By:haymae99 I can remember the day that day when i got my first horse like it was yesterday. My parents told me that my Uncle Scott was going to watch after me so they could go downtown to look at some thing special. We had just moved to a wonderful new house on Windy Hill. The house was many diffrent things to me. I would pretend it was a castle or the biggest ranch house on earth that raced and owned the best horses in the world. There was only one problem we had no horses. My uncle Scott had talked to my Mom Lila about getting horses because we had so much room and great pasture. Of course my parents said " horses are to much of a haste." Every time i asked about getting a horse my parents just said " Amanda sweetie we would but there is no time the poor horse would be like a decoration." I pleaded and promised to take care of the horse and spend ALL my spare time with the magnificent creature. But it was still a no. After ten minutes of waiting for my Uncle Scott the door bell rang and in walked my Uncle Scott. I giggles when he walked in because he was wearing these goofy Wranglers over his awesome tan Justin cowboy boots witch i had a pair of too. " You ready to have some fun Amanda?" He asked, " Well as long as you two don't burn down the house." My mom replied with a giggle. I smiled the biggest smile i have smiled in awhile because Uncle Scott was amazing and I loved him to death so i couldn't wait to see what he had in store for us to do! Mom and Dad walked out the door and drove off. " Ok so we cant burn the house down but your Mom never said we couldn't flood it!!" Uncle Scott said as he chuckled in his low smooth voice. " she probably wouldn't approve of that either but I'm up for some fun!" I giggled as Uncle Scott picked me up and flung my over his shoulders and walked outside. " Hey put me down!" I said as I kicked and punched at him. He tickled me and said " They took the truck must be getting some thing big." He winked his eyes witch her almost hidden under his Carhart baseball cap then he never took off. After three hours off playing tag and board games Mom and Dad came back. I heard a whinny and raced out side. I almost fainted when i saw a white and black paint gracefully step out of the trailer with her head held high. She looked right at me and whinnied. I raced toward her but slowed down so i wouldn't spook her. She reached her head forward as her forlock swaded in the wind. "shes amazing!!" I screeched with excitment. She nudged me with her muzzle as i took in her beautiful blue eyes long head and perfect ears. I couldn't believe this was happening. I pinched myself to make sure i wasnt dreaming and no it was all real. Just when i though iti couldn't get better a foal raced out and pranced around me! I hugged his neck as he nuzzled my stomach. " Well what do you think Amanda?" my Dad asked. but before i could answer Uncle Scott said " Joe Lila that is one amazing horse i can't believe you got her and her little one." " Well what are you going to name her foal Amanda?" My Mother asked. " well what is her name?" " Her name is Misty." my Father chimed in. " then i shall name him Sundance!" I said excitedly. My Mother made a fantastic dinner we all chowed down. " may i ride Misty today Daddy?" My Father looked at me and said " Honey i would but she needs to get use to her new home before you ride her and its getting late, but you for sure can tomorrow but now you need to go to bed." I knodded and went into my room. I couldn't wait for tomorrow!! |  haymae99 & shadow time |

Then the two wheel dogs Alaskan malamutes they were both sable the male was Coal and the female Jewel. The dogs moved in to a run. Lucy feels the sled move across the snow. She makes a kissing sound and the team moves faster across the frozen Alaskan tundra. It had been a day since she had been dropped out here with her team and all the supplies for 5 months out here. She grinned as they flow across the snowy ground. Her plan had worked she would spend the winter out here with her dogs training and studying the wildlife then she would go home and race her dogs. The team moved across the frozen river back to the base camp. She could make out the tent shape. She called Whoa as she pulled up the tent. Laying on tie ropes near the tent were 2 more malamutes Mica and Gem. Mica was sable like his brother Coal. Gem was a grayish sable color she was Jewel’s sister. Lucy climb off the sled and stepped up to the front. She kneels near her lead dog and pets him. She unclips the end of the gangline from his harness and leads him foreword. She un harness him and ties him back to his tie. Then she does the same for the rest of the team. Then she feeds then bowels of high end dog food. Lucy goes into the tent and lays down for a nap. The whole group naps. Lucy wakes to the call of a wolf pack just across the river. She climbs from her tent and goes to a raise overlooking the river taking along a note box and pencil. She watches as 2 male wolf come in to view followed by a female and two of the last spring’s pups. She writes in her book the date then Wolf pack the bigger black male is in change I’ll call him Zeus it fits as Zeus is the leader of the Greek gods. The smaller sliver one I call Sliver. The darker gray female is Hera because her mate is Zeus. The two pups are Leo and Bella. They are a great family the males and Hera hunt sometimes taking the pups with them. Sliver is so great with the pups. She finishes writing and goes back to camp. She makes a fire in her fire ring with the pot hanging pole over it. She gets the jerked deer out and puts it in a pot of water over the fire. Lucy brings star over to the fire and gets a brush and starts to brush him. When the pot boils she puts Star back and takes it of the fire. She brings over the dogs evening food already in bowels she ladles broth over the bowls then eats the rest of the meat and soup. |  Starwalker123 & Star |

| Reunion Part 1
by MaestroI Once again, Judith found herself standing in the field by the little cross that marked the burial plot of her old shire horse, Mark. Colic had taken him so suddenly. That morning, five weeks ago, he was fine. That night he was dead, even with a vet, Valerie, doing everything she could. That is, until Valerie had stood up and shaken her head. Judith had kissed his face, right before a mighty ripple went through his body and he went limp. Judith hadn't stopped crying since. Every night, she cried for him, and for his filly. The filly she. Judith King, had lost. Once, Judith's older sister, Cathy, had a mare. They breed Mark and Pansy, and a beautiful filly was born. Cathy had said that Judith could have the foal, because all she wanted was for Pansy to calm down, something that can happen when a mare has a foal. Judith had shaken her head. She and Mark had a big showing season coming up. A foal was so much work, and cost a lot. No, Cathy could sell the foal. Cathy had sold Jelly-Bean, the Arabian/Shire mix, and now Judith, with desperate searching in horse magazines, newspapers, and the internet, could not find her. But something else besides Mark's death and Jelly-Bean's disappearance made Judith cry. Two days after Mark died her parents and Cathy were taking Pansy to a horse show, where Cathy was going to compete. Judith had stayed home, and two hours later she received a call from the police; a giant touring bus had a sleeping driver, who smashed into the truck, pushing the truck onto its side. Cathy and her parents were found dead on the spot, and Pansy had to be shot because her front right leg had been broken in two places. Aunt Penny and Uncle Josh had come at once. Right now, they were planning on taking Judith with them back to their ranch in the hills. Judith had always loved her aunt and uncle, but right now she felt like she hated them. Deep in her heart she knew she loved them, but with Aunt Penny trying to act happy with tears in her eyes and Uncle Josh pretending to laugh while clearing sadness from his throat, Judith wished they would just mourn, then move on. And when she most needed Mark, he was gone. Another sob caught in her throat as she knelt beside his grave and set some geraniums, marigolds, tulips, Queen Anne's lace, and a few dandelions on the mound of earth. She had picked everything but the tulips, which she had slipped from a funeral bouquet. She thought Mark deserved something special as well. Turning, Judith continued on through the field, bare foot. Her hands were full of more tulips, as well as morning glories, chrysanthemums, petunias, roses, ivy, more Queen Anne's lace, violets, lilacs, and a few dragon snaps from her garden. She was headed to place flowers at the graves of her parent and Cathy, having already been to Pansy's grave to set a white rose and some ivy on it. Unknown to Judith, someone was watching her from the think weeds in Mark's pasture-Uncle Josh. Shaking his head slowly, he returned to the house, leaving Judith to attend to her flowers and tears. Finding the right tombstones took no time for Judith, as she came here every day, though this would be her last, as tomorrow she was headed to Lucky Shoe Ranch, the ranch where her aunt and uncle lived, worked, and loved. That was why she had taken so many flowers to the graves. Her arms full, she stopped first at Cathy's stone. Cathy Elisa King-One so loved is now in God's hands, read the inscription. A small horse was etched into the stone as well, just as Cathy would have wished. Judith, setting down roses, petunias, lilacs, violets, and chrysanthemums, knew that Cathy was in Heaven, and was grateful that she knew Cathy had been saved at a young age and served the Lord all her life. Moving on, she knelt by her parents grave. Rodger Albert King and Julia Rose Captain-Loved the Lord and their family, read this stone. Tears streaming down her face, Judith set down her remaining load of flowers. Kneeling there, Judith stayed until she reluctantly looked at her watch after she knew what would have been about an hour. Sure enough, it was almost time for supper. Blowing kisses into the air, Judith made her way to her house, as it was home no longer; her heart was no there. | MaestroI & Morning Glory |

| Thoroughbred Dreams: Book One: Star Of The Night
By Starwalker123 Chapter One I pulled the truck out of the drive way. I had turned 16 two weeks before and gotten my driver’s license. I drove the 10 miles to the barn in the dark. It was pitch black out at 5:00 when I had gotten up by now at around 6:00 it was growing lighter as a pulled into Winter Wind Racing the Thoroughbred racing stable I worked at. I stopped the truck and head into the barn. I walk down the stalls to the head grooms office. I glance at the work out postings all 4 of the horses I’m groom for are going out. I head down to my stall block in the first stall is the two year old pale gray colt Diamond Guy around the barn he is known as Tango. He can be a handful. In the stall next to him is the dark bay 2 year old filly his half-sister (Same Dad) she is Diamond’s Passion Fruit better known as Fruity. Tango and Fruity both show off their sire Diamond In The Rough or just Rough a 10 year old Bay belonging to the farm. In the next stall is Time’s A Wastin or Wasting a 3 year old chestnut. He was recently bought in a private sale and this would be his first work at the farm. In the last stall was the light bay with the black mane and tail gelding named Reflected In A Diamond or Reflection. He was the oldest of Diamond In The Rough foals at the age of 5. I garbed Tango’s halter at lest he had gotten his mom Ice Lady cool temperament and not Rough’s fiery one. I lead him into the cross ties. Then I lead Fruity in to the second set of ties she has her dad’s temper and his mom Lasting Fruit’s eyes. Then I lead out Reflection the gelding prance next to me as I clip him in the cross ties. | Starwalker123 & Star |
