The sun shined bright in my room causing me to wake up. I groan I didn't want to get up. I wanted to stay in my warm bed with the fan lightly blowing in my face. Then I remembered it was Saturday and I would have all day to spend time with Scarlet Diana. Scarlet Diana is my Andalusian horse. She is a bit short with blackish mane and tail but she has highlights in her tail and she's grayish. I loved her very much she is my best friend. I started to remember how I got her. I got Scarlet Diana from a woman who couldn't afford her. The lady lost her job and had many kids to feed. Scarlet was going to get put down since the lady couldn't afford food for her. It made me sad to think about her past. But now she is happy here living with me. I get up and but on a navy blue shirt with some jeans. As I try and put my hair in a ponytail I hear my mom yelling "Cadence get up time for breakfast!" Yes.. My name is Cadence I'm 15 years old. I'm your typical country girl.. I don't like the city or anything to do with it. And I hate girly girl like mall shopping. I don't know what it is but malls bore me to death. (Sorry to my readers who like shopping) I start to head downstairs ready to eat. "Good morning mom." I say. "Morning sweetie." She said happily placing a plate of eggs and bacon in front of me. "So what are you going to do today honey?" Asked my mom. "I'm planning to go ridding with Ethan." I said. Ethan is the only teenager who lives close to me. We've been friends for 5 years. I kinda had a small crush on him and I think he liked me back. "Ok and I guess your going to take Scarlet." She said smiling. "Of course she's my best friend." I said stuffing eggs in my mouth. In like 2 minutes I was done and already putting on my boots. I checked my watch 9:25 I had plenty of time till 10:00. I was going to meet Ethan on the north trail. I start down the path leading toward the barn. I walk down to the stall that has the name plate Scarlet Diana. "Good morning my sunshine!" I said planting a kiss on her forehead and feeding her a peppermint. She neighed in response. "We are going riding with Ethan and Crumble." I said to her. I looked into her beautiful eyes that were full of happiness and love. I went to the tack room to get the grooming kit. As I go in I see a note on the table from my dad.
Dear Cadence,
I will be gone for the next few days. So I need you to take good care of the ranch and especially Moonshadow. You are officially in charge until I return don't worry about feeding the animals right now I fed the before I left. Again take good care of everything and if you need help ask your brother.
- love Dad
I put the note down and thought that my dad is always leaving he is hardly at the house. But I was excited this was my first time to EVER be in charge of the ranch. It was usually my brother Carson. I grab the grooming kit and start to head back to Scarlet. On my way I stop by to check on Moonshadow. Moonshadow is a beautiful black Andalusian stallion with a white stripe across his face. He huge with a wonderful built body and his coat was so shiny. My father takes better care if this horse then he does himself. At first I thought it was weird but now I can't really blame him. Moonshadow is a champion in basically everything. Even from when he was a colt. He won Best looking stallion, Dressage competitions, western riding competitions, show jumping, even drill, we even took him to parades. Also Moonshadow is a breeding horse. All of his children are pretty and have some of his skills. Almost everyone wants their mare to be bred by him. I've watched the breeding process with Moonshadow and literally I haven't met one mate who resisted him he's all stallion. "Hey handsome." I say giving him a peppermint. Moonshadow nudged me sweetly asking for another. I give him one more. Moonshadow always impresses me. For a horse who is so treated like a king he doesn't act like it. He's never rude or stuck up or even spoiled. I trace his stripe and leave to attend Scarlet.
Hey guys what did you guys think? It's not bad for my first horse book. I plan to write a story on all my horses I have. Above in the picture is the real Scarlet Diana. I will put more pictures of her in each chapter. Please comment and vote🙏 thanks love you guys😘
