Hallo Ihr Sußen,
In this thread I will post little story's about the things that happen in Sun at Dawn Stables.
Some will be accompanied with pictures, some not.
Let me start right away.
When we first met.
The day was bright, even though the morning was still young. Icedust was surprised that he could already hear cars ride up the driveway. He perked his ears as he ehard footsteps near his stable. He slowly moved his head out of the stables door and whickered. It was his owner Tinka that he saw. The young woman smiled. "Good morning Dustie" she held out her hand. Icedust was delighted to find a sugarcube, picking it up with him soft lips, he ate it. Tinka smiled and quickly slid his halter around his head. Icedust whickered, displease with such a good morning from his beloved human. "Sorry love, but you have to get out for a while" Tinka clipped on a leadingrope and opened the stabledoor. Icedust laid his ear against his skull and neighed. "Now now mister, don't be so grumpy, you'll thank me for it later" said Tinka.
She led him to the paddock. Icedust perked his ears and flared his nostrills. There were so many new scents and sounds. He smelled new horses. It made him curiouse. He pulled at the leadingrope, but Tinka pulled him. "No, Dustie, don't" she said stricktly. She calmly led Icedust into the paddock. He unclipped the rope, but left his halter on. Icedust immideately trotted away from her, to the side of the paddock that gave a good view of the new horses. With his ears turned forward, he whinnied loudly. Several of the new horses whinnied back.
Icedust grew impacient after quite a while. He had seen Tinka pass by with a full wheelbarrow several times, and also all the new horses had passed him by. He started to whicker loudly and raced through the paddock. At long last, Tinka came to the paddocks gate. "Come on here, you big baby" she called to the White Stallion. After giving a light buck, Icedust raced to the gate. He halted just in time and pressed his nose against Tinka's cheek. "Yeah yeah boy" Tinka kissed his soft nose and smiled.
She led him back to his stable, where he had the surprise of his life. In his stable, stood another horse. He laid his ears in his neck and whickered displeased. The other horse, a friesian as well, came to the stables door and whinnied softly. A whinney that could only be that of a young mare. Happily surprised, Icedust perked his ears up. "Now, be nice to her, will you" Tinka opened the stable's door. The mare extended her head to take in Icedusts scent. He sniffed at her to. "Her name is Philipah. I hope you'll be friends with her" Tinka whispered, letting Icedust into his stable. Icedust nickered and forgot his owner in favor of his new stablemate.
