"now ease her to a the c-word" Lightly Jeannie pressed her inside leg on, the inside, i picked up my canter Jeannie sat deep, "Now let's see a cirlce at this end. Jeannie manuvered herslef so I curved my body, we did a cirlce and then we everesed I changed leads. "Okay walk!" her trainer yelled. Jeannie sniffed and slowed me to a walk. I threw my head up and pranced anxiously on the rail. "mindy please she's mean anyways I don't wnat to be kicked off," Jeannie whispered. I listend and stopped I stood still as her trainer walked over and tightend my girlth. i turned and sniffed she tightened my girth . i opened my mouth and slet out the remaning air i had. "Stop, she doesn't like it!' Jeannie said frightened. "Well, she needs to learn," the trainer said roughly. Who did she think she was? Talking like that as if i wasn't there! i whinnied angrily I didn'tthis person. Sfter the girth was tighten, I moved stffly down the rail. I was urged t trot, i picked up willingly the girth rubbed harshly on my skin it hurt really bad. I stopped and walked into the middle Jeannie kicked hard, "Stop it," she said angrily. I listened but stayed in the center. "Jeannie get off," "see what you did," she said mad. the trainer got up on my and slappedwith the crop, i jumpd and obediantly went to the rail she forced me to hand gallop, the Girth pinched, it was too much to bear I did want to buthad to to.

"What'd you do...why is she crying?" Sebastian asked. "I hurt her trainer...badly.' i said. "Why!" Seabstian bit my neck gently. "She hurt me, she made my girth rub and she was making Jeannie cry," i said. Sebastian nickered, "Mind you care too mcuh," he nuzzled me. i whickered. "So There's his gelding in the stallion barn," Seabstian said. i snorted. "his name is Rainfall, asked me some questions," Sebastian said. "Did he," I said trying my best not to laugh. "How well do you know him?" Seabstian asked. i looked at him primly, "i've know him for eighteen years," i said. "eighteen...yo don't look more than four," Sebastian said. "I am four...as a horse...but humanly I'm eighteen, i trained rainfall to jump when i was 10," I said. Seabstian flicked his tail "Well yu're only friends right?" "Of course!' i whinnied. i trotted to the gate when i saw joe towards us. i pranced. "The master wants me to give you this," he said gruffly. He rubbed my necks andgave me a shot.
