Runaway

The hard part

I empty out my backpack and start to stash food, water money a small blanket and a few pairs of extra clothes.
Pull off my pjs and slip on a pair of skinny jeans and a tank top I also tie a sweatshirt to my waist. I look around the room to see if I have forgotten anything and I see my phone on charge next to my portable charger. Once they are in my bag I look at the clock it is past midnight mum and dad were staying in the city so I was leaving tonight.
I quietly tiptoed down the stairs trying not to wake up the dogs which would trigger our security cameras. My parents are really protective over our horses.
Once I'm out I check to see if I have everything, which I do. I walk over to the stables and go say good bye to the horses. "I will miss you" I say to them and give each of them a kiss and hug. I quickly run out of the barn it is almost 3 am and the racehorse trainers wake up at 3 and go to the race track.
Just as I leave I see a blue hatch back pull into our driveway, they are the stable hands. Hopefully the horses are going to be okay while I'm gone.
******3 hours later******
The sun is just starting to rise and I have made it just to the next town. It all seems pretty familiar but only because I have been here before cause of a few horse camps. I have saved up $10,000 dollars for our road trip I'm going to miss those guys. I stole 500 from mum and 600 from dad, dad carries a lot more money than mum.
I come across a big bill board and see a second hand car with a horse float, I have my drivers license but never really thought why I would need a car. I don't really know why I would need a horse float but it is cheap enough, $8,000 for the lot. Awesome I think to myself and I start walking and call the number that was on the flyer
?:hello phil speaking
B: hello this is Brooke and I am interested in the add u had posted
P: yep the car and horse float
B:that's the one
P: ok well I'm home if you wanna come have a look at it it really needs to go we are having financial issues
B:k cya then
I said and hung up
By the time I was there I was hot and sweaty and I had no idea on what to expect there were no pictures on the post just a for sale sign car and horse float $8,000, number and address. As I walked down the driveway carrying a really heavy back pack I saw this black jeep Cherokee looking brand new and a almost brand new two straight load horse float and an oldish looking man with grey hair and a beard. "Is something wrong with it" I asked looking worried. "No no it is all licensed and everything" phil said smiling. "I will take it, and here have a extra 500" I said handing him the money. "Thanks so much" he said shaking my hand "here take the keys" he said handing me the keys. "Thank you" I said and walked to my new car, it still had the new car smell. Just as i was about to turn my key I hear this whining, it sounds like a horse is in pain so I get out of my car and see that phil has gone inside I lock my car and start to walk over to where I heard the whining from, I see a woman in a round yard with a stick and this beautiful perlino stallion. "Excuse me" I say shaking. "What" the lady spits. "Um I was wondering if you wanted to sell the horse" I ask what am I doing spending all my money I only have $2,600 left. "I'm not selling him". "Oh" i say. I was about to walk off when she said " you can have this piece of junk for free he ain't worth nill" she says almost yelling the word have " he is an Andalusian stallion, he is 6, he is 16hh and his name is Harvey" she says chucking his lead rope at me.
Once I get him on the float first try I don't know what that lady wants from him he is such an amazing horse. Once the lady is inside and Harvey is all settled in the float I run over to what looks like her feed shed I grab a bag of chaff, pony cubes and sweet bulk they were pretty big bags so it took a while to walk them back to the car I also look for his tack and find a bridle and saddle with his name on it and take it back to the car, finally I grab a feed bin cause I don't really fancy buying anything. I really hope my sister is ok I have never met her but she is still my sister. "On the road again, I'm Hungry" I say to myself I turn around and look in my bag and find a apple and a bottle of water.

Soooooo sorry it took so long I haven't had internet so I haven't been able to publish and I have been so busy with my own two horses. I have a thoroughbred, Arabian and might be getting a welsh B mare this weekend who hasn't been backed or
mouthed, I'm soooooooooooooooooo excited.
