[OTHELLO JULIUS BUSKIRK]

Othello sat on Harry's cover in the corner of the pasture the gelding was standing in. He sighed as his pen moved across the page of the book resting on his knees, as he played keep-away with the ball cap that the horse kept trying to steal, which the teenager would rather remain on his head.

Things had been going great since he arrived in Hickstead, he was doing well in school, he was learning to be the equestrian he wanted to be, and then he'd spiked a fever and ended up in hospital. The bonus about that, is that it had happened after school had finished for the year, so he hadn't been missed. The down side, his meds weren't working, and he was back on no physical activities - aka, no riding. No, worse than that, he wasn't allowed to do basic things like grooming or mucking out either, as anything that spiked his heart rate, let to him leaning over the toilet.

He sighed again as he continued drawing, part of him annoyed that it seemed he was drawing a superhero; a person wearing a cape and mask. "Harry!" He cried as the Suffolk Punch cross finally got hold of the cap and took off across the pasture, waving the hat like a victory flag. "Funny, ha, ha." He dropped the pen and pulled the hood of his hoodie up to cover his head as he studied his picture, wondering if there was anything he could do to not make the image look so superhero-ish. Blowing out a breath, he turned to the next blank page and thought about starting over again, though he rested his head back against the corner post, shaking his head as he watched the liver chestnut drop the cap into the water trough. At least it wasn't one of his favourite ones.
