I had been driving around for a while and finaly I saw the sign I had been looking for, Emeral Hill Barn, I turned down the long sweeping driveway with Sandor in the back, she was and had been for a long time the only thing I could trust and rely on, Parking the car I hopped out and walked causious toward the office, walking inside I tentively called out, H.Hello, I stood waiting arms crossed accross my chest.

I looked at Mel, It's ok I can unload her, but it would be good if you could show me where to put her I said then David came in and I drew my arms in tighter, looking at the ground, Hi David, I mumbled, walking out into the fresh air I walked over to the trailer and opened the hatch, walking inside I calmed down being with my horse again, I leant against her patting her neck and breathing deeply regaining control

.:I nodded and ignored my twin for a bit. Waiting outside I looked at Dave. Go and untack your stubborn horse I'll show Adele the stall her mare is going to be in. I saw him go and mount the black andalusien. I sighed and coughed, my side was really hurting me right now. I sighed and looked at the trail as I coughed again:. [/center]

I took longer then needed to get Sandor out but I needed time to calm down, I took the small rope holding her off and walked out of the trailer she followed wihout a lead rope staying closs behind me head just behind my shoulder, she had a simple halter made out of rope on but I never bother securing her as long as I was there she would stay with me

I nodded and led the way in Sandor following and smiffing about getting used to her new home, I brushed her down, and hugged her neck leaning into her shoulder in a conpaniable stance we were both so accustomed to her head resting on my shoulder, a tear rolled down my cheeck as I stood with my only friend in the world I feared ever day of loosing her like I lost my only other friend all those years ago

.:I groomed him a bit until I mounted him not caring that I was riding him untacked. Landon walked easily out of the barn as we loved riding togheter. I leaned down to his neck as his head had bowed. I blew soft into his nostrils as he breathed into mine. I giggeled slightly and gave him a playfuly look. The horse tossed his head as his hindlegs folded. He reared up a picture of a perfect holsteiner. I smiled as he cantered before his forehooves touched the ground. He were flowing in teh wind as we took of to the outdoor arena and back. Making a halt his head was high bowed as the mane blew in front of his neck, his tail blew as well. I smiled and stroke his neck giving him a kiss:. [/center]

After a while my legs began to ache but I didnt want to leave the comfort of being with my horse, Sandor must have senced my feelings as she took a step back and layed down on the straw, I smiled and walked over and curled up next to her as she lay her head over me I lay there with her letting out the pain of the past that for some reason had come out more today then I can remember it ever coming out in my heart, tears fell and my eyes became red but being with Sandor began to sooth my brocken soul

.:I relaxed more and let him walk. I didn't hear the trailer coming behind mer. Suddenly the horse spun around I was strateled seeing the trailer. Tryint to get he horse away he just stood there. I looked terified as te trailer came nearer. Landon reared up as I fell on the ground from the trailer. I could hear his whins and the trailer crashing with his beautiful bodice. I fell uncossious for a sec until I woke up. I didn't see the trailer adn got up a little. Onlt to see a lot of blood. But Landon wasn't there. Eyes wided as I shouted out. Landon! Were are you! I yelped in pain and coughed again. As I raised up slowly. I saw blood tracks. I didn't look back as I ran after him. I could have taken my mare but no. I needed to do this on my own. Hearing suddenly heavy breaths I could see him laying in the lake trying to wash away the blood. My eyes were worried as he layed there. Easily boy. I said comforting and saw him try to raise up. Seeing it was me he layed down again and breathed. He looked awful. Seeing his chest being bloody as well as his left side on his forehead. His bod had some minor but it was the chest and forehead that was the worst. I looked at him beginning to clean his wounds slowly as I whispered comforting words to him:. [/center]

.:I sighed after cleaning his wounds. He raised up in pain as I looked at him worried. Come Landon. I took a hand over his neck as we walk back again. He stumbeled on three legs as my eyes began to fill with tears as I saw him being in pain. Seeing Emerald Hill Barn coming by my eyes I lead him to the horsewasher. I got a rope halter that was easy to put on and wouldn't hurt him. Locking the half door after me I got water that was perfect for both horse and wounds as I took it over his bodice. I could feel him shiver and walked nervous as the wounds hurt a bit. Easy boy I need to repair your wound after I'v cleaned you more. Getting the medical things I found what I needed. I tyed him as I covered the large wound over his chest after fixing it. He moved a little as I did what I did it was still hurting him. Bandaging the chest and taking it around his stomach so it would stay there she bandaged over the large wound at his left side. I checked his right leg and he yelped walking back. I looked it over and felt. It was warm, apperantly he had stumbeled and fell seeing how much dirt it had been in the chest wound. She fixed the leg easily as she got on a cooler and a heavy blanket. It was a thin heavy blanket though not wanting him to sweat that much. I took the rope halter as I lead him out. I wondered how Adele was going with living here, come to think of it I wondered were Brad was as well:. [/center]

It was warm there with Sandor the pose so natural it was her who kept me warm out on the roads at night we would park off the side of unused tracks and locking the car i would snuggle down with her as we did now never knowing what tomoro would bring, I just lay there eyes clossed to the harshness of the world in my protective bubble by my mares side. |Brad|
I heard the stallions cry's and woundered what was going on it seemed he was in pain, walking around he saw Melanie leadining him but something wasnt right he was heavily bandaged no doubt Melanie had just finished with it, Mel what happened to Landon, he asked worried hoping she hadent fallen that was the last thing Mel needed

.:Melanie:.
.:I looked at Brad adn suddnely felt Landon getting tense again. I looked away and lead Landon around Brad. Everything I had worked with Landon had been gone in just a few seconds. I needed to start new with letting Landon trust people again. He was on the scratch only trusting the one who had always cared for him. Now he had protected me from a trailer. Sudenly I took a hand on my waist as my eyes closed in pain. The wound had gotten worse because of the fall. I ignored it again and lead Landon into the largest stall on Emerald. It was by Sandor but I didn't look into the stall. Easy boy. I promise the door wont hurt you. I walked aropund with him until I could get him in the stall. Locking the door after us I calmed him down and got some hay to him. I looked over his bandages to see if the wounds had gotten up again. But nothing was showing blood. I sighed and leaned against his stomach as I coughed a little:. [/center]

The sound of coughing woke me from my dreams, Sandor was still with me and it took a moment to remember where I was, I lay there for a moment there was movement on both sides, where before there had only been on one, i sat up and Sandor stood, snorting, pulling myself up fully I was unaware that my eyes were still red, I looked across the girl who had shown me where to come was leaning against a heavily bandaged stallion coughing, I didnt know whether I should say anything or not but eventualy my curiousity got the better of me, Um, are you ok, I aasked the girl softly I didnt want to startle her she probably didnt realize I was here.

.:My eyes opened slowly as I looked at Adele. I shrugged a little as she asked me. Not really. I said easily and felt Landons tense body. Easy Landon she's ok. I stropk his neck comforting as the stallions head had turned to me and looked scared adn nervous at teh other girl. My hands was stroking his neck comforting and relaxed. I sighed and looked at the stud wantign him to trust people already. She knew she couldn't really do that knowing it took time for him to trust people again:. [/center]

I was startled by the stallions behaviour and if he hadent been in a different stall I might have jumped onto Sandor's back and riden away, but I mearly backed up a little, looking scared and worried, running was the easy option I'd been doing it all my life, but it wasnt an option now not just yet, I..Is there anything I...I can do, I stuttered not knowing what to do or if I sould get someone.

.:Well, you can start being more relaxed. Landons trust for humans was crashed for a few minutes ago, he was hit by a trailor just by saving me. My eyes filled with tears and I looked away. I took his halter and lead him around the stall a little. I didn't look at her and felt hi body getting more soften. There you go. Relax my baby boy. I whispered japanese calm words into his ear as I eyed Adeles movements. If she still wasn't uneased I would ask her to go out of the stall. Landon needed people that was calm and could earn his trust. a person being nervous and scared made his untrusting worse:. [/center]

she didnt no how much I wanted to be more relaxed but after years of abuse that was easier said then done, I.I'm sorry, I walked out of the stall door and called for Sandor to follow, in one fluid movement I was on her back and tearing off into the open fields toward the trails, I couldnt stand it I had to get away, seeing that much pain in an animal, It wasnt right, tears streamed down my face as I rode trusting my mount entirely, I never rode her with saddle and bridle for I had neither,
|Brad|
I was nearly knocked over as horse and rider pelted out of the barn and off into the distance, I woundered who it was, but didnt dwel on, it entering te barn I walked closser to Mel and landon but stood back I senced something had happened to faulter his trust, for he had been getting better, not wanting to cause more damage Brad stood well away, who was that went tearing out of here? I asked patting Summers nose and Shadows as they came forward for a pat, near on knocked me over.
