My Horse

Chapter 1

I got out of bed on a Saturday morning and did my teeth.
I put on light makeup with light pink, plump lipgloss and blusher.
After that, i straightened my hair and swiped it into plait at the back, it reached my waist.

I then got dressed into a crop top and my black jodhpurs with my horseriding, ankle boots.

After getting ready, i eat my french toast and drank my milk then grabbed my helmet and walked out the door, closing it behind me.

i walked down the rocky path towards the stables.
Once i reached the horses, i walked to Prancer's stall and gave him his 1st feed of the day. Next i mucked out his dirty stall and changed his rugs.

Then i gave him a short groom and got him tacked up, ready for a morning ride.

I put my left foot in the stirrup and swung my other leg over his lower back, into the right stirrup. I shortened my reins then clicked him on into a walk into the woods.

It was a peaceful morning, it was 7:00 and Prancer seemed to be enjoying himself.
Normally in the morning he would be half asleep! But today he seemed fine.

We trotted across the dusty path then out into a clearing.
We walked by the lake and stopped for a quick drink because I think Prancer defiantly needed it or he would pass out!!!

As we walked through the calm woods, i heard a small growl.
I turned around but nothing was there! We went into a trot and carried on peacefully.

Thats when i heard the sound of running feet, something was chasing us, Prancer could tell too, his ears were pricked up and his head was held high, he looked around and then set off into a gallop, i nearly fell off but we carried on galloping through the woods.

I could hear its feet against the ground, chasing after us. What was it?
And what did it want?
