I walk out to the stall where Lady is giving birth.I had to go and get my dad,for it is his horse.We ran as fast as we could to the whimpering horse in-labor.She was wild and kept screaming.Daddy had to hold her down so she didn't hurt the baby.About 10 minutes later,he was out.A beautiful black foal was the outcome of Lady's pregnancy.She had been pregnant for a little under a year(for the people who don't know how long horses are usually pregnant).Finally the day has come.The day Lady gives birth to the soon-to-be stallion.I can already tell he's going to be magnificent.He will do us good.
Lady is a show horse.But I can tell that our newest addition to the family has other plans.He'll be a shining star.I can see it now.I can see him riding me to victory.I am Madison.Madison Scott.I am thirteen years old.Im almost fourteen though.I don't go to public school,I'm homeschooled.Daddy says it's cause he wants me to learn what i want to learn.He doesn't want me to be forced to learn stuff I don't want to.I obviously still have to learn math and language arts though.And social studies.History.Stuff like that.Basic school stuff I believe.Ive never been to a public school,so I cant have nothin' to compare being homeschooled to.But daddy says that's what public schoolers learn.And he ain't never told me a lie.I trust him with all my heart and soul.My daddy makes money by selling goats.Rare breeds of goats though.They're hot on the market.He sells chickens,too.Americondas.The type that lays green or blue eggs.There ain't a market around for miles.But when we really need somethin',we'll make our way there.Not using a car of course.We either go there on our mower,or on our horses.Daddy says it's good exercise for em.Sure,we can get some pretty weird stares,but we ain't goin there long so it isn't really a bother.Its also not illegal,so it's fine.We live in the not-so-sunshiny state Florida.Yeah no,Florida ain't all it seems.Its always rainin.I feel kinda bad for tourists who vacation here in the summer.Cause that's when rainy season is.We get lots and lots of hurricanes.Usually we get one once a year during the summer.Aint none of them tourists got a clue bout what's comin for em.
Anyway,as daddy is doing stuff with our new little foal,I run into the house as quick as I can.I run upstairs into my room.I mark the date.I want to keep track of all of our horses birthdays.They're family after all.I mark May 11th,2019.I put his birthday under Jipsy's,another horse of ours.I put my notebook back and run back out to watch Buck attempt to stand up.He's adorable! Though,watching him fall...isn't as adorable.More less painful to watch.I feel bad every time he falls.Im not sure why I feel bad.I know it doesn't hurt cause the hay is breaking his fall.And I've seen this same sight about a million times.But I don't know.Theres something different about him.Not saying I don't love all our other horses,just that I feel very strongly towards Buck.I can feel it,he'll be great.
He made it! He stood up.So far he hasn't fallen down,and it's been about three minutes,so I'm pretty sure he's staying up.Lady starts to lick(clean) Buck after he's stood up.Im so proud!
I'm so proud of my little boy.
