American Quarter Horse

In the morning Ironias bought breakfast and gathered his supply’s on his new horse. As he set out for the keep Ironias consulted his map. The map showed a direct route to the keep but it also showed a longer winding highway which passed close to the keep. Deciding upon the direct route he set off at a quick pace which his mount could maintain for several hours. After a few minutes he started to doze off. He jerked awake at the crack of a crossbow. That action saved his life. Where his head had…

It was a sunny day in January of 2016. I eagerly drug my good ole pal Ashley along on a muddy adventure. We were on a mission to change the course of my life. I had been dreaming about adorable little dairy calves for quite a while. I come from a dairy background, but while we do have milk cows, we don’t have dairy calves. So we set out to find me the most adorable one out there. We began our journey by driving to meet Mrs. Dvorak, the teacher of agricultural endeavors at a nearby school, at a…

Today was bittersweet, since I saw the last mythical creature on my journey, but it was my favorite. My final stop was in the same forest where the dryads lived, but it was to see a very different mythical creature. The first pegasus was brought by Zeus to live on Mount Olympus, because it got taken by so many people because of its purity and beauty. Now that the original animal had reproduced, and it’s offspring live in small herds in the forest. I knew I had to be hidden and very quiet to…

Bring the Horse Home Julie Bruck after Philip Larkin Is all I’ve wanted past wanting since I was six and delirious with fever, an infinitive forged from a night when giant ladybugs with toothpick antennae patrolled my wicker nightstand. Yes, I’ve been with horses since, travelled illegally with them in trailers, known certain landscapes only framed by alert ears, and with one in particular, spent whole afternoons with her big jaw heavy on my shoulder.

remember is sitting on a horse running through a field thinking, “this is how I’m going to die.” This was probably one of the biggest fears I have ever faced. The fear is that I got hurt on a running horse and I didn’t want to run again My family does a lot of horse riding, so we ride at home sometimes. One time we were riding in the barn lot and it was just like any other time. We had all the horses in there so my dad was going to let them out. When he opened the gate my horse ran out into the…

I remember living in judge millers place, a fine place. Horses pulling carts. And kids running around, not to mention the berry patches and the orchards. I loved to run along the white fence and venture out into the horse stalls. But something strange was going on and I couldn't quite put my paw on it. later on, I completely ignored the bad, stomach knotting feeling inside me and I went on a run. It being satisfying, even though I did get my tail stepped on by one of the apple pickers! On my way…

Chapter One: Coming Home Taking gentle steps, I entered the castle’s walls searching for Prince Damien. I quietly went to my quarters to change into a more proper outfit for this gaudy occasion.

A whip cracked, and a cloud of dust rose into the sweltering, hot air. There was a whinny; and then, there was another crack, and another, and another. A great crash followed, and the horse had fallen. It lay prostrate and motionless on the dry, sandy field of the Manor Farm. Years passed since the animals first rebelled. The Manor Farm was no longer prosperous; it now rested in shambles. Things did not appear, even physically, as they had during what the animals dubbed, "The Golden Days." The…
