I wrote this a year or so ago and thought i would post it to see what you all thought, so please read and tell me what you all think.

Carly is your usual 15 year old she into sports and hanging out with her friends but most of all she loves to ride her loving, caring and gorgeous Black and white pinto. Carly’s father stood beside his little princess worrying, “I will be fine dad don’t worry”, Carly said as her dad stroked her hair. “I know just be careful”, Carly Said “I will” as she rode off in to the distance on ‘Tango’. “I love you” Keith shouted while watching his little princess fade among the thick foliage of the forest.

“Witch way do you think we should go Tango?” questioned Carly leading him along the dirt track. Carly felt unsure about the track, because it seemed to get darker, and trees looked different. “Ahhhhhh” Carly screeched as an owl flew past right in front of her. Carly soon found her self cantering for life although didn’t know what she was running from.

“Oh my god!” Carly stopped, jumped off Tango and slowly spun around. “Wow”, “Pinch me Tango I think I’m dreaming”. Carly twirled again she found herself standing in the center of a meadow. Daisies and other wild flower laid across the lush green grass, scattered around the meadow were ferns and blue berry bushes, the meadow went for miles, scanning the meadow Carly saw standing, right in the middle, stood an apple tree. Carly hopped back on Tango and trotted right over to it.

She and Tango sat there for hours while Carly picked flowers and praided them into Tangos silky brown mane. She picked apples and placed them in her bag. She even lay back to watch the clouds. Carly soon realized how late it was so she packed up and lead Tango to the entrance. Carly took off Tango bridle and saddle then she led him to the stables.

“Hey Daddy, hey Mummy, I’ll just go clean up for dinner” Carly said as she past Keith. “Hey princess did you have fun today” Keith said as they sat down to have their meal.

“Yer I had lots of fun I even picked some apples on the way back”. “That’s good sweet heart, now once you have finished dinner have a shower and go to bed please” instructed Carly’s mum ‘Jenny’. “Ok mum, great dinner by the way” as she gave her mother a thumbs up and walked towards the bathroom.

Carly’s bedroom door was opened slightly as Jenny’s head peered around the corner, “good night sweet heart, I love you” said Jenny “I love you too mum” Carly said as she pulled the covers over her legs. Jenny started to pull the door closed while saying, “Don’t let the bed bugs bite”. “Ok mum, good night” Carly said whilst reaching to turn off her lamp. Her door opened again, and then all a sudden Gemma, Carly’s Labrador jumped on the end of Carly’s bed. “Oh, hi Gemma what did you do today” Carly said while lying back upon her pillow.

“Good morning everyone, what are we all doing today because I was wondering if I go for a ride on tango today?” Carly said whilst pouring her self a bowl of cereal. “Well darling I have to go into town and pick up some groceries but I don’t know what your father is doing, so just ask him if you can go cause its alright with me” Jenny said as she wiped down the kitchen table. “Ok thanks mum” Carly peered around the corner to look inside the lounge room “Hey dad is it alright with you if I can go for a ride on tango today?” Carly asked. “Yer sure princess, I’ll be working on the truck all day with some friends of mine” Keith said opening the newspaper. “Cool could I possibly take Gemma as well?” Carly asked. “Yer that’s ok” Keith and Jenny said simultaneously. “Thank-you I love you guys,” Carly said as she walked into her room holding her bowl of cereal.

Once Carly had finished her breakfast she got dressed, brushed her teeth and hair, and gave her parents a kiss than went downstairs to saddle up tango. “Good morning Tango” Carly said as she brushed her hand over Tangos check. Carly realized she had forgotten something so she quickly ran upstairs to get her backpack she put her water bottle, some food, her sketch book, mobile phone and her riding helmet off her desk. She said goodbye to her parents again and walked down the stairs to meet Tango. “Lets go boy” as she hopped upon Tango. ”hey Gemma u coming girl hurry up”, she said as she turned around to find Gemma running after.
