Running full tilt to the house and bursting through the door he entered the house to find his very calm smiling wife cleaning the floor, astounded he scrambled around grabbing bags, keys and wallets that had been neatly packed and sat by the front door. The trip to the hospital was quick though stormy and through everything his wife smiles softly at the panicking man, her husband she loved so much and couldn't wait to make a first time father. The birth was long but went along with no complications and soon River entered the world, Every day was spent either helping her mother tend to the animals on their homestead, or riding out with her daddy to round up the young horses for training. Her dad taught her to ride at the ripe young age of 4 years old on a crippled grey nag, She had picked the horse out at an auction and fought every kid that wanted to try the horse out. When her dad said the mare wasn't worth a penny she crossed her arms defiantly and pointed to the mare who stood with her head low. "She is River's daddy, she is rivers heart", seeing that his daughter was not budging he tossed the young cowboy $800 and scoffed as the four year old snatched the lead and drug the poor horse to the trailer. Each step the mare took was calculated and soft as to not hurt the child in front of her, even when her old skinny body threatened to give out she stood strong to not hurt her new best friend. River spent hours in the barn feeding grooming and loving on the old gray mare, after month of vet bills and heart breaking nights the mare was plump and filling with life clearly fighting for her little girl. River was so excited when her father finally let her toss the saddle on the old grey horse, she clambered up into the saddle patted the faithful girl on her neck and turned to her dad. "Her name is Heaven daddy because when I'm up here I feel just a little closer to it", Her dad shook his head as his baby took to riding faster then she took to walking. Four more years that old mare gave to River and she in turn gave that mare the best four years of her remaining life, they went to every small schooling show she could find, and spent hours practicing for each one. They never won a single show but River never cared as long as she had her ticket to Heaven. The night River went out and saw her best friend on the ground her eight year old heart felt its first heartbreak, but she didn't scream or throw a fit, no that eight year old walked over slowly and sat by her old friend stroking her white hairs on her face softly. "Its ok girl you can go I'll be ok I promise", her tears spilled from her tiny blue eyes and began to soak the soft clean fur of her heart horse. It took months for River to find another horse she got along with, even when winning competition after competition she never felt a bond with the horses she rode. One day her dad called into her high school and pulled river out of class, As she walked out she noticed the old stock trailer hooked up and her dad grinned at her waving for her to hurry along. It was sale day and they were going to get new stock, River watched as horse after horse went through the pen, some broke some deadly. Close to the end a fire red filly ran through the ring her head high and wild, fear causing the whites in her eyes to show, River jumped up raising her dads number high without a second guess. That fire red filly sold for a whopping 200 dollars to the blue eyed girl with her dads number, They had to run her onto a friends empty trailer for fear she would hurt the horses in her dads trailer. River spent day after day for three years fighting with that fire red filly, many nights were spent crying, wanting to give up and curseing herself for buying the stupid horse. Her father never let her give up though and soon she was riding and showing with her new partner, five years flew buy and 22 year old river rode that flame through to champion level jumping until one rainy day everything changed. All it took was one screw up from the tractor dragging the ring, one broken metal rake, one off chance that her mare would take the jump just an inch to close sending that barb into her hoof. The mare still jumped, she still tried and she fought to keep her rider, River felt the off landing before everything flashed before her eyes as the mare went hind end over front. The snap of the young horses neck rang loud in Rivers ears as the mares hooves popped up throwing her below the beast and causing one of the polished shoes to fly off slicing into Rivers chest. River was in shock as her dad and mom rushed into the ring, she looked over at her horse, everything slowed and she let out a scream that stopped everyone in their tracks. Rolling to her side she crawled to her horse calling her name frantically as her father pressed a towel to her chest shouting that she was gone and they needed to get to the hospital. It took three paramedics to pry her from the horse that lay in the dirt, the horse she had let heal her heart from the loss of her old grey mare. They sedated her on the way to the hospital and she dreamed of the days she spent sleeping in her stall, the nights that she would work so long with her that her legs could hardly hold her up. She dreamed of their fist ride and first win, and then she woke to her sleep deprived father and puffy eyed mother, from that day on she avoided the horses only sneaking out to the barn to draw them running through the fields, never willing to get to close even when they would call to her for treats like she used to do. Years passed until she finally decided to move out to Hickstead, she needed a new start and this was her last option, she moved close to stables and spent a few days just watching and dealing with her sorrow. the role player alias • Willow age • 28 other characters • None yet but i hope i can create more one day. ^.^ |
