The Wild Mustang

Chapter 13

I was soon taken away from Elizabeth and put in a stall. I didn't like the stall. It was to small and hovel. I kicked at the walls trying to escape. I heard another winnie.
"WILL PLEASE KEEP IT DOWM IN THEIR!?" The stallion yelled
"sorry....I just don't like it in here" I trail off
"Well keep it down I'm tired and I would like to get some sleep....please" he asked
"Ok...." I grin
He dozes back into his sleep. More men could me and they put the halter back on me. When they where almost done I nip at them and it falls off. So they decided to run me through the shoot again. Then soon after they put the halter on me I was let go.

The girl comes back. I watch her as she walks up to me. I look at her. She looks at me, then she has a smile on her face. She opens the gate that makes me bolt to the other end. She walks in and comes towards me. I rear up and run away from her.

I see she has an apple. I start to walk towards her. She gets closer and I bolt away.

"Sighs* I will never be able to pet..." She says with sadness in her voice.
As she walks towards the gate I come trotting up to her. I put my nose behind her ear and sniff her. She quickly turns around. I step back with surprise and I let her pet me. She had gentle hands, unlike those men.
"My name is Merisa.....I'm going to call you....." Marisa said " I know...I'll call you.....Katie".

I was surprised. Why do I need a new name?

She put this rope with a hook on the end and puts it in my halter and leads me to a post. I was wondering what she was going to do next.

She comes out with thing with water coming out of it. I jumped to the side. She said its ok and it's just water. I trusted her. She waters me down and cleans me.

After about 15 minutes of my going around in circle many times she comes and gets me. I was put out in the pasture. It was a large pasture. But there was no fences. Then I realized she was letting me go.

"Your free now....be safe and do t let any one else catch you....ok" Marisa says

I watch her. I walk up to her and I give her a hug. She hugs me back. I was going to miss her and Elizabeth. Then I see a man coming with Elizabeth and they where letting her go to. We gallop back to the herd.
