FELIX POV

₊̣̇·⏧

I quickly disappeared from the school building and headed for the nearby stables where I have been riding horses for some time.

Maybe I could take Fargo out for a little training, but I don't want to put too much strain on him today since he was at the races yesterday.

Oh, how I wish I could ride him to the races too...

He's not mine, but I've been riding him since I started with horses. And he was at the races because a horse from another stable was supposed to go and unfortunately he couldn't, so he came from our stable.

Fargo is a great thoroughbred stallion, he knows how to work with me together and his jumping... wow!

After some time I was in front of a big property. Very familiar, to me. I walked happily onto the property and headed for the stables.

Minho had yet to give me the promised apple when there was a bit of a break and I was just walking down the hall, theoretically following him.

Fargo will appreciate that, he loves apples! I grinned from ear to ear and walked into the stable where there were lots of horses.

From foals to older mares or geldings. The oldest is the mare Molly, a haflinger. She is our grandmother, she is 32 years old and has produced at least 3 foals.

She may be old for some, not for others, but this lady is still in the best of shape and occasionally goes out into the field to trot. Not too much of a burden for this grandma.

I walked almost to the middle of the stables where my bear was. I peeked through the bars and saw him lying contentedly on the ground in the sawdust, resting.

„Hi Fargo, it's me“ I spoke to him in a contented voice. „I have a yummy treat for you“ I pulled an apple out of my pocket.

The stallion neighed contentedly and was on his feet in a second. Of course he shook himself off and then came over to me.

„It's so good to see you again. School's started now, so it's going to be a little more difficult, but don't worry, I'll try to come here as much as possible!“ I smiled at him and gave him an apple over the bars.

„I heard you raced yesterday and got a wonderful third place. I'm so proud of you, my little bear“ I petted him and got all gushy over him.

„I guess you don't feel like it, but I'm going to take you out to the outdoor riding arena for a while anyway and we'll go for a little ride, hmm?“ I smiled again and then went to get cleaned up.

I grabbed my box in a room in the stable and then went back to him with the cleaning. I put the box on the floor next to the stall and took Fargo's halter and lead in my hand.

I slowly opened the box and went inside. Fargo gave me a head shove that moved me quite a bit, but I didn't linger too long and put the halter on him, which I then buckled and still attached the leash to it.

I then turned him around and tied him to a ring in the back of the box so I could clean him.

I grabbed a brush and comb and then got to work. „Don't be cocky, I know you'd rather be lying down, but you know... Just for a little while, a little practice“ I patted him on the neck and continued cleaning.

After cleaning his coat, I cleaned his hooves and picked some more hay out of his mane. I don't understand how he could eat that stuff up to his ears?

After cleaning, I cleaned up my box again and went to the saddle room.

I have a lot of stuff in here, especially saddle blankets. What color am I going to wear today? Of course I'll combine it with my clothes, hehe.

I chose a black blanket, some lamb under the saddle and a brown saddle along with the bridle. I put on black tights, my high riding boots, some shirt to go with it and went to take it to my horse.

There I laid it down and put my helmet on the ground with my spine and whip still on. Then I took a blanket with a lamb and went to saddle the stallion.

Then I took the saddle and put the saddle on him. I fastened that and went quickly to get the bandages, which I had forgotten. I'm a leaky head...

I quickly put them on him and now the worst part about him... the bridle and the martingale. I took the halter off and put the reins around his neck.

It went pretty fast today because he didn't protest and took the bridle in his mouth. I buckled everything in the way it should be and put the saddle in the martingale.

Of course, I also adjusted his mane to look like a horse and then went to put on my helmet and spinal protection.

Meanwhile, the stallion turned around in the stall and stared at me. „What's up?“ I laughed and buckled on my helmet.

„You look good in that, by chance,“ came a voice in the stall and I froze. Huh? Who...

I grabbed the horse by the reins, grabbed the whip and then looked around the stable.

„Over here“ the person called, so I turned around and saw the scarecrow.

There was a boy standing at the front of the stable with a beautiful horse beside him. Is someone new here? I don't know anything about that.

I stared at those two in confusion. It's not usual for a boy to ride here... I'm the only one, or rather... I was the only one.

The boy in question walked with his horse towards us and stopped two stalls away.

„You have a beautiful horse,“ I said. „Oh thank you. His name is Dark“ he patted the black stallion and then he let him into a vacant stall so the horse wouldn't get bored.

He closed the box and then turned to me. „Em... I'm Felix and you are?“ I said quietly.
