The Mare

Velvet

When we galloped, there was nothing but me and her. I felt the sky above me but I didn’t see anything but her ears and her neck and the ground flying toward me and Graylie’s butt and Pat’s butt on top. Graylie’s legs flew and he rose up over the fence, switched his tail, and came down. The fence flashed up at me and I remembered, sit back. Fiery Girl came up under me like nothing was even there. The fence disappeared. It was so beautiful-easy and at first I didn’t know why.
