I led Flicka outside to Toby's trailer, i am going to miss her, she brought my family back together, she taught me so much and we have an amazing friendship, i lead her through the people lining the path, all of these people had a special relationship with Flicka, she changed lives for the better, she saved Cherry creek. We even placed second at the blue swan three day event together.
When i get to the end my mum and Toby are standing by the float, i turn to Flicka
' hey Flicka, I'm gonna miss you so much Flicka." I cry and kiss her on the nose and i remember all of the things we achieved together and i look up at her and smile, i give her one last pat before Toby says
' you can ride her any time you come up for a visit' i hand him the rope while trying to keep my tears at bay, i watch as he leads her away, my mum hugs me and wipes away my tears.
Just as i thought it was over Toby comes back with a beautiful grey horse in hand
' and i knew she wouldn't want us to take off without you having a jumper of your own' he tells me, i look at him in disbelief, i cant believe it, a jumper of my own
' Toby!? What have you done!' My mum asks, shocked.
I take the rope in my hand and look at the amazing horse
' wow' is all i can say ' he's amazing'
' this is Flickas colt' he tells me, my heart is racing, Flickas colt is gorgeous
' she had him about 2 years ago' he continues
' he's the perfect age to be put into training' Toby looks at me and smiles ' and with his spirit and your riding, this fellow could turn out to be a world-class jumper!'
' you mean he's mine?' I asked stunned, Toby is giving me Flickas colt! This feels like a dream, i hug Toby and cry, i just cant believe it.
' whats his name' i ask when i let go of Toby
' thunderhead' he tells me
' i love him' i smile.
I look over at Flicka ' ill take really good care of him, Flicka!, you know i will' i tell her
I know she knows. I lead thunder head away to the barn, I'm still in shock that i have my own colt of Flicka's.
Thanks to Flicka cherry creek is back up and running, Flicka is still wild and free and i know she will be fine and i will look after thunderhead with my life, i promised her i would look after him.
THE NEXT MORNING:
I woke up early it was a sunday morning, i have put my ribbon on my wall, it is covered in pictures of Flicka and me and soon Thunderhead, the most gorgeous colt i have seen.
I walk outside to see the paddocks bustling with life, boarding has gone through the roof and this time we have raised the price, the paddocks are used by champion horses and pony club members and the children's ponies because parents want to teach their kids to ride.
Jack from the show who offered his help, well mum took him up on that offer and now he is the new coach
" lessons in 10!!" I heard him call
I rush to the barn to get thunderhead for training, i wasn't looking where i was going and i bumped into mum who was taking the hay out to the paddocks ' sorry mum!' I spluttered
' its ok!' She laughed and continued on her way.
I led thunderhead out of his stall, and took him to the ring where we practiced, ' come on boy!' I said while quickening my steps, he trotted after me, i couldn't be more happy to have him, i wrapped my arms around his neck, he tried to pull away but in the end submitted to it and rested his head on my shoulder' i love you' i told him, he whinnied in return i laughed and led him around, i put a saddle blanket on him so he could get used to having something light on his back, he quickly bucked it off, i put it back on followed by the saddle, i did up the girth slowly before letting him go to buck, as soon as he realised it wasn't going to come off he trotted over to me and nuzzled into my chest, i stroked his nose and kissed him, he snorted, ' girl kisses ae!' I laughed
I watched as Thunderhead trotted around the ring with his new found saddle on his back, he looked like a natural.
I walked slowly to the middle of the ring being careful not to distract him, he watched me carefully, i clucked him on and he cantered, he looked beautiful, his mane was long and he was shining, once he had slowed down i put a halter on him and a lead rope, he tossed his head in disgust and tried to get away but he couldn't so he gave in. I stroked his soft head and looked him in the eye for a while trying to gain his trust, i knew we would be a great team.
I led him around a few times before mum came over
' hey mum!' I called to her, Thunder head stared at her for a while, i led him over to the gate where mum was, she put out her hand and he sniffed it
' need a hand?' She asked, i looked at Thunderhead and then back at her
' yes please' i smiled at her, i moved thunderhead over the fence on the other side so mum could come in
' you and Thunderhead look good together' she told me
' yeah.. But i still miss Flicka' i agreed
' so what do you need' she asked trying to change the subject
I leaned over Thunderheads back, he jolted his head but soon learned it was ok, next i finally sat in the saddle, i knew it was never to soon, mum held his head still while i stroked his neck and his mane.
After Thunderhead rearing and bucking a few times i managed to stay on and finally dismounted, i untacked him and led him to my paddock, since cherry creek was up and running i had my own paddock, i had to pay of course.
I watched as he cantered in the warm sun,
' your turn Stephanie ' i heard James call from the ring, i ran to the fence surrounding it to watch the lessons that were taking place, Stephanie finally returned, after the Blue Swan 3 day event we made up and we texted each other and talked on the phone once a week, we were finally friends again and i was happy about that.
I watched Stephanie take on the course on Bentley, she forgave me for the ride i took on Bentley that morning.
' well done!, good round ! ' James called to Stephanie, she smiled at him and then at me, he had been looking at me strange lately, i found it out, but I pushed it out of my mind.
I stood on the side watching
