The Spirit Of the West(Completed)

Chapter One

If you look past the Wyoming borders,there lies the heart of the west.The first permanent settlement of the horse.
Many men hate the Mustangs which have lived her before man even set foot here.Over the generations of farmers have killed the great beast which roam here.My family,the Kendricks have protected these creatures for generations.Every child bears my great great grandfathers name.Sean Kendricks.I almost broke tradition because I'm the first female to be granted that name.The year is 1995 and only about 2,000 still breath.

Montana's plains is were I live.Far from the reach of man kind.Were I live only 127 mustangs have been rescued.For generations we've done so,to protect the west.

I wander the aisles of the barn inspecting the 30 brood mares,only 10 were pregnant."Sean!"Yelled my employee,Eddie."What's wrong?"I ask more avid to find out."She's here."He said panting."Hybrid Cats?"I ask.He nods.I sprint to the stall hoping all the genes of El Diablo Playboy came through.My spurs jingling as I ran.When I get to her stall a little red sorrel with a white blaze lays on the ground.I open the door slow so I don't spook Hybrid."Your the spitting image of your father."I sigh relived.Her half blue and half brown eye and her full blue face me.She nickers."Good Mom,Good girl Hybrid."I state patting the mares shoulder."Eddie I need empty birth papers."I state to the white 5'11 male behind me."Yes Ma'am."He said.I loop my chin with my fingers."What would fit you?"I ask myself."Here Ma'am!"He said blaring through the stall door.Hybrid rears.I grab Eddie's shirt and chunk him out of the stall.And close the door."Easy girl Easy."I coed reaching for her lead.I grip her lead and take my jacket off and cover her nose with it.She gets my sent and her eyes calm down,her breathing shallows.Her eyes dig into mine as I release her halter.I breath out.I exit the stall and latch the door.Eddie laid on the ground shocked."Eddie if your going to be my successor I'd advice you to learn these horses."I warn.I pick up the clip board with the birth papers on the top."I'll have to think of a name for you later."I state to the filly.

I finish checking the mares."Ma'am?"Asks Eddie."Yes."I reply."How do you deal with these things,they can kill you any second and yet you treat them like ponies."He said."Your really clue less these animals I've grew up around.After my parents were killed I took over and by then I all ready knew these horses backwards and forwards."I reply.Putting the inspection pages on the clipboard by the tack room entrance."Oh."He sighed.I pat his shoulder."You'll learn."
