Doing as her mother told, she went to go find Jasmina. Luckily, Sara didn't have to far, as her cousin was in the bunny pen. "Ooh, you are all just so cute!" She squealed in happiness. "Uh... Jasmina, I hate to spoil your fun but, we need your help." Sara was leaning over the pen's railing.

She filled her in with what happened today. "Oh no! I'm so sorry for Veronica!" Jasmina was a very caring person and for some odd reason, had a good relationship with Veronica. "Well... she's dealing with it in her own way and we should let her cool down." Jasmina nodded in agreement with Sara.

Once the girls had gotten back, Blanca was already in the geep with Mrs. Pendleton. "Hurry up girls, we don't have all day." Blanca said. We scurried into the car and as we did, I noticed there were shovels. We were all going to have a hand in helping bury the mare.

Once everyone was buckled in, Blanca gave a beep to her husband, letting him know to go. We followed on out to the road that was by the stables. The ride took about 2 hours before both cars came to a stop. It was an open desert-like field.

Out in the distant, Sara noticed a gravestone when we all got out of the geep. "What is that thing out there?" She said squinting her eyes. "That there is Cinnamon's grave." William pointed out. "Cinnamon?" Carla asked in curiosity.

"Yup, she was my first horse before I ever got Sindri." He smiled a bit at the fond memory of his first horse. "Alright, let's get this done with. We still have to finish feeding everyone." Blanca stated. With everything being a muck, we hadn't finished feeding everyone.

William nodded at the statement and drove his pick up to the back of the field, while the girls walked back there. Once to the back of the field, William opened the back of his truck so they could unload the mare, as Blanca and the girls walked up with the shovels.

The process of burying the mare took 2 hours on just digging the grave hole, even with everyone there. Finally, after burying the mare, they all said their goodbyes and respects for Angel. Before leaving, William said his respects to Cinnamon as well.
