The first time I laid eyes on the wild young filly at the mustang adoption I knew she was mine. the lively, ornery little filly that was kicking other colts and chasing the fillies suddenly panicked when we rolled out of the adoption center with her and her mother loaded in the small two horse slant trailer I felt proud to finally own the pair I had just bought with a years worth of allowance ,birthday and job money I was fourteen years old and I worked summers part time at Brauhm's scooping ice cream to pay for private hunter jumper lessons at cadence academy. "I'm really proud of u Paige" my mom told me when we got home to our small 50 acre property out of that fifty 10 acres were fenced off for our other horses Lilly ,jet and our welsh mnt. pony Jessie we pulled up to the six stall barn and dropped the trailer ramp down and opened the door the mare and foal raced down the barn isle and into the pen out in the back of the barn in the corner of the pasture I quickly latched the gate and watched the two horses dance around the pen .the pen had a small pond in the back right corner three giant oaks in the middle and a run in shed in the left corner the small pen was three acres and was otherwise used as an holding pen when our friends an family came over I saddle up our horses and tied up the horses and surprised the guests with a short lesson/trail ride. I watched our new horses trot around and sniff their surroundings nervously, then jet our now three year old sorrel solid registered paint colt trot over to the new horses the filly bolted to her mother and the new mare took a step toward jet and laid her ears back and beard her teeth at the unfamiliar horse .jet took a step back and spun around and went into his stall I walked into the barn where Lilly and Jessie were already dozing off.i closed jets stall door fed him and Lilly and walked out to the pen and poured a scoop of grain into the feed bucket for the new horses I turned without a second glance and went to shut the barn doors and turn the light off for tonight when I heard munching behind me I slowly turned around and watched a greatful mare happily chew the grain up ,for the first time I got a good look at her form and the beautiful sleek dun coat of hers and then I looked at her almost one year old filly
The filly was a bay overo with blue eyes also sleek and shiny the mare tensed up some and stared right through my head and stomped as if to warn me she would kill me if I came close to her baby I simply sat down and watched her finish her oats and then I got up and turned away she to turned and trotted to the run in shed I snorted and turned walked to the barn to spend some time with my horses.

When I got into the barn my grandparents were waiting along with my sister and my parents I ran over to them and have them all a hug and I grinned really big and listened to my parents and grandparents talk about the trip and how I "begged" them to take me to get my own mustang not just any horse a mustang. The whole ordeal took three days one day to get there one day to find the horse and get it loaded and one day to travel home the whole time they talked I just stood in jets stall and brushed him and petted him and hugged him and let him know that really missed him he sniffed me all over trying to recognize the scent of the new horses the whole time I just stood there and let him sniff me then when he was satisfied I whispered"good night my handsome boy" and walked out of his stall and locked it for the night I walked over to Lilly and Jessie's stalls and have them a hug and told them good night then I walked out of the barn and went into our new house and talked about my most recent art works and accomplishments then I went rantin and ravin about how happy I was to finally have five horses how I was going to train the new ones and how great they would be how jet was happy to see the new horses and how my new mare threatened him and then I asked why jet wasn't in his stall like the other two and my papa told me that he refused to go in the stall and even refused to eat his oats and then suddenly when I got back he was the perfect horse again and I laughed and glanced at my sister Taylor who looked at me with envy and disgust I went into the kitchen to make my friend Nichole's chocolate chip cookies that were famous with my family. and went to my room to talk to my friend savannah and tell her why I was'nt able to make it to her family's Fourth of July party today. we talked for thirty minuets and then I went to get the cookies out of the oven and serve them to my family and as I pulled the cookies out of the oven I heard a knock and put the cookies on top of the oven and went to the door to see who it was ,my Grammy opened the door and swept me up in a hug and then I told her I had made cookies and then gave my cousins Jaxon and Jackson a double hug and gave my auntie and uncle j a hug and went to serve to cookies and after every one was full on sugar and chocolate I showed them the new horses after that they left to their homes and I settled down for the night and I dreamt about my five horse herd I had waiting for me when I woke up.
