Thor pictured above:
After I finish eating my lunch I go to my room and read, shortly after I begin reading, my mom calls me into the kitchen. I walk out of my room and go down stairs. I sit on one of the bar stools on the kitchen island.
My mom greets me with a smile and says "I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Okay?" I say quietly with a confused.
" Well you remember my dear friend Sadie right?".
" Yes." I say, she continues.
"Well she passed away her husband and her where driving home and they got into a accident and passed away. They have a son Ty and he needs a place to stay, I promised her some years ago that if something happens to her I would take Ty and look after him. He is 16 like you and real nice boy. I wanted to see what you thought about it?"
She smiles kindly at me. I think to my self that it would be nice to have another kid in the house since I'm a only child and it's just me and my mom.
I "Sure that would be fun to have someone help with the horses and help around the place." I smile at her.
She hugs me and leaves the kitchen to call Ty's grandmother to get things prepared for when Ty to come stay with us. I leave the kitchen and head back to the barn.
Me and my mom run a business where we help people's horses who are troubled and need someone to help them. We have younger women bringing her gelding over to us soon. He is very aggressive and kind of afraid of people. The woman who brings him gives me a smile.
" We tried to sedate him before we came but we couldn't" .
"It's okay."
Slowly walk to the back of the trailer and try to unload him and lead him to the barn, he did fine walking next to me out of the trailer and towards the barn.
We get near the barn and he flips out rearing bucking. I circle him and try again he still fights. So I just put him in the round pen until I get a better understanding of him. Miss. Henry pulls out of are drive way after dropping Bentley off.
"Who's this guy?" My mom asks me.
"His name is Bentley an 8 year old quarter horse gelding. He is very aggressive toward humans. Miss. Henry brought him for us to look at."
"Well hopefully we can try to help with that." My moms says with a kind smile on her face.
"Well let's get to work " I say cheerfully!
-------- 4 days later---------
I have made a little bit of progress with Bentley. He lets me take him to a stall and he takes a carrot from me every now and then. He wouldn't take them before he would turn is nose to them. Ty is coming in a few more days. I'm quite excited to have someone help me with the horses it will a big relief.My mom comes into the barn with Belle. "Thought maybe we could try to see if Belle can help Bentley at all."
My mom smiles at Belle after she says that. I think to my self and think of how many horses Belle has helped us with. Don't know what we would do with out her.
"Sure, she has helped with plenty of horses in the past." I look at Denver as I say that.
He came to us in bad shape skin and bones and afraid of everything and humans he was very aggressive too. Belle played a big part in helping him.
"Well let's give this ago." My mom says in a sarcastic voice. I roll my eyes and laugh as we get prepared to work.
