Annella finished her dress fitting after an hour of been pocked at with needles and strapped by measurement tape. The seamstress stressing about how she will now have to rush making her dress because Annella missed her five appointments before hand. Annella stepped out of the shop and held her coat tightly to her. It felt like she went from being in a sauna and stepping straight out into a freezer.
As she was walking home Annella decided what to do with the rest of the day while it was still light. Seeing as she was twenty and no longer had to attend school, she would normally spend her time with her grandmother or out in the woods or riding her horse. With a single thought, Annella quickly decided that the best idea she could come up with was to go for a ride. Due to the weather and other appointments; Annella has not really had a chance to ride her horse as of late.
Annella rushed up the long stretched driveway of her large house stone house. Annella loved her house as it was rebuilt three years ago. Once it was a old house that was falling apart and almost classed as a ruin. But when Annella's parents pass, she and her grandmother took it upon themselves to rebuild the house into a new modern day beauty. But they kept the beauty of the old house within the structure. Annella pushed ran up under a rounded archway and up onto the porch. She pushed opened the front door and ran and darted up the large white staircase easily. She ran down the light wooden floored hallway with white walls and to her room.
She reached into her wardrope and pulled out her riding boots and trousers. She pulled off her dark stonedye jeans and pulled her cream riding trousers on and then her black boots that reached just under her knees. She zipped them up and rushed back out her room closing her door. As she ran down the hall she passed Jenna and smiled to her.
" Where are you going?" Jenna called after her. Annella turned as she walked backwards down the hall.
" For a ride." She smiled in her answer to her Grandmother. Jenna laughed softly and waved to her.
" Be safe." She said as Annella lept over several steps and down out the back door. She rushed down the stone decking and down steps. She rushed over to the barnyard on the other side of the large garden. She opened the door and walked over to her horses stable.
" Ann! Not seen youo in a while." A deep voice spoke as she turned around. Annella turned around to see her barn hand walking over to her while he cleaned his hands on a dishcloth.
" Jack!" Annella smiled as she hugged him tightly and smiled to him. Jack was thirty years old and worked looking after the six horses they kept in the stables. He worked along with several others that come from time to time, but he was here full time.
"Hey, here to take Beth out?" Jack asked as Annella turned and opened the stall gate.
" Yup." Annella smiled while popping the 'p'. Jack turned and picked up a black saddle and handed it to Annella. She placed the saddle onto a large horse's back and Jack helped her strap it tightly. Placing the bridle onto the horse, Annella lead her out and into the soft white light reflecting on the snow. Beth was a large black and white piebald Clydesdale horse. It's tale and neck hair were both a mixture of black and white. Her hooves where covered in long silky white hair.
"You want me to come with you?" Jack asked her as he boosted her onto her horse. Annella gripped the reins tightly and looked down to Jack. Beth was a very large horse roughly about eighteen hands tall.
" I will be fine, Jack." She said as she put Beth into a gently walk. Jack smiled and watched her move into a perfectly executed rise and trot.
" I will be back before sun down!" She yelled back to him. Jack shook his head and walked back into the barn. Annella moved into the forest and made her way through the trees in a canter. The wind swept through her hair - she does not wear a helmet- as it hung loosely down her back. The fresh snow untouched as she pushed further into the forest. She felt so free when she would ride trough the forest, like nothing could hold her back as the wind swept past her. The beating of Beth's hooves echoing through the silent air. Leaning forward in her saddle she seat to jump a large fallen tree, which Beth made light work of. As they pushed on wards the sky began to release more snow that whipped past her, sticking to her hair.
