The Kaimanawa Horse Challenge

Chapter 5

"Nice seeming you again. I will see you tomorrow when your at home" Alena called from the door as she left. I was leaving the hospital in a hour. Mum and Madison were coming to pick me up. I had spent a awful three days in hospital. I was cleared to go home, but I wasn't aloud to do any horse riding for four months. Horse riding is part of my life. Those four months are going to be the worst four months of my life. I couldn't budge my arm at all. So horse riding was unacceptable for a person with a broken arm, like me.

I looked at the time, mummy and Madison will be here to pick me up any minute now. I hear a knock as a joyful Madison bounds through the door. She skipped over to the hospital bed and gave me a big hug. At that minute mummy walked in. "Hey darling are you ready to go home" She asked smiling as she walked over to me and Madison. I nodded my head in reply. And grabbed my stuff. We all walked out of the hospital.

Our car halted to a stop as we turned it off. Milo our chocolate Labrador came running over. Her tail wagging side to side. I jumped out and put my hands around her neck. She was warm and felt loving. Giving Milo hugs always made me feel at home. We walked up to the house. Mum pushed the key in the door handle as Madison pulled it over.

I walked in and walked down the hallway to my bedroom. I pushed my door open and smiled. A box was laying on my bed. I looked in. A bag of lollies, and chips, and drinks were laying in the box. My room always felt like a wonderful place. Our house was modern. It had pure white sleek walls, a queen size bed tucked in one corner. A dresser beside the bed. Posters of horses were covering one wall in my room. It was a nice big room. I took a deep breath. I pushed my stuff on the ground and laid on my bed.
