sometimes, you watch the world go by, taking part in the things you care about and you think you can benefit from. you're friends with those you like and those you care about and you're not friends with those you don't like, those you don't really care about. sometimes, you say stuff you don't mean, you mean stuff you don't say. sometimes, you make a big deal out of nothing, and sometimes, you make nothing out of a big deal. the sun rises and the sun sets, every day is brand new, but the only way you can make it special is to do something new, something exciting, something that satisfies, pleases and even surprises you. don't let a crush linger, don't have a frienemy, speak the truth but be kind at the same time. and for the people that don't like you, remember: mind over matter. you don't mind, they don't matter. it seems ironic, overused, overrated, even stupid. but yolo.
i clicked midnight into a faster canter, steady to his smooth stride. he had a beautiful canter, so swift and so fast that it was like a black and blond flash as we passed. my soft hair flew behind me, the wind sending it this way and that. i knew i shouldn't be riding without a helmet, and i could get into some serious trouble for it, but what the heck? nobody was up this early anyway, and i would be careful. i trusted midnight with my life, and i knew no matter what happened he'd always save me. grinning, i squeezed his sides again, pushing him into a speedy gallop, his stride not faltering and not even a speck of sweat forming on his pitch black coat. i leaned forward into two point, mimicking the jockey who used to ride him. i loved this feeling- complete adrenaline, a total rush, maximum speed. i knew midnight could go a heck of a lot faster than this, being an ex-racehorse, so i squeezed him again and a brand new burst of energy was brought on. the grass and trees that i passed were a complete blur, and i didn't see anything except for straight ahead. it was like a dream, almost. noticing midnight slowing a little, i sat to his smooth gallop, followed by a steady canter. i leaned forward, hugging his neck and bouncing a little, before finding his stride again.
just then, midnight skidded to a stop, whinnying loudly, taking a few steps back, shaking under me. while trying to calm him, i scanned the horizon, trying to figure out what had spooked him. i gasped when a tall, grey horse approached us, and then took a step back, galloping to the side and rearing. i stiffened, but then remembered what i had to do. i swung my legs over midnight and hopped off as quick as i could, glad that i had been riding bareback. midnight's eyes were huge, the whites showing more than half of them. he reared up and i screamed, the reins slipping out of my hands. he galloped towards the horse, colliding with the frightened grey, and they both reared up. i was still with fear, unknowing of what to do. if i went between them, i'd get hurt. if i didn't, one of the horses would get hurt, or i'd lose midnight if he ran off. finding my breath and knowledge of horses, i looked back at them. i couldn't believe it. they were touching noses. midnight turned, running in the opposite direction with the grey at his haunches, and they circled me happily. i couldn't help but smile, and watch them go. horses were just... so beautiful. beyond belief. their movements were fluent and graceful, and as i watched their muscley legs move, so powerful and quick, i almost cried. almost as suddenly as they had started, they slowed and midnight loped over to me, bumping me with his nose. i hugged his neck and then looked over at the grey. she stood, and it looked as if she was trying to decide weather to come over to me or not. i let go of midnight, knowing he'd stand, and walked over to the grey. i swung a lead rope over her neck, tied it in a way i'd learned at four-h, and led her over. i hopped onto midnight's back and clicked him into a canter, still holding the lead rope and his reins.
the grey cantered easily next to us, she had a gorgeous stride and could keep up easily. i knew she probably belonged to someone else, but now i noticed how skinny she was and immediately felt a pain in my heart.
we arrived back at canterwood when it wasn't even close to six am, and i shivered a little from the chilly winter breeze. the campus was deserted, as was the stable. there were two empty stalls, one next to midnight and one on the other side of the barn. vi wouldn't mind if i put the grey in harley's stall for now, so i led midnight into his before leading the grey into harley's. i untacked and groomed midnight, before making my way into the grey's stall.
looking into her dark eyes, i somehow knew i wouldn't be letting her go anytime soon.

Well,Violet couldn't say she was surprised. Her mom's body had resurfaced,and all evidence pointedto her father. Unable to speak, Violet shoved her phone into her pocket, and sprinted towards the barn. She was now in the custody of her oldest brother, who lived in Florida. Violet wiped away tears as she brought Harley in from the field, her hair falling in wet braids around her face. Thrusting open the stall door, Violet was surprised tp see a grey face staring at her. Taken back, Violet slowly reached out to touch the muzzle, wondering if she was dreaming. The horse nuzzled her playfully. Violet looked around for th horse's owner. Not seeing anyone, she carefully tied Harley outside and stroked the mare, in awe. Violet forgot about her dad, her brother, school, friends, Christmas. It was her and the mare. A voice startled her, and she was surprised to see Sammie behind her. She gestured to the mare. "Is she yours?" She asked, hoping the answer was no. /color] [/b] [/div][/left] WORDS, TAG, outfit, NOTES

sammie looked up, as she walked out of midnight's stall, set on grooming the mare. the gorgeous mare. she had felt a connection to her right away, and she had her heart set on training her. having something, anything to hold onto. cliched, right? her face became concerned, knowing violet had been crying. hugging her friend, and then letting her go, she studied her face. she didn't really know what to tell vi. 'it's kind of a long story. i found her out on the cross country course and she looks sick and i'm gonna ask mr. conner if i can keep her and train her.' just then, sammie had an idea. christmas was coming, and she hadn't gotten violet a gift. she'd been thinking and thinking of the perfect one, but she might have just found one. maybe her and violet could share the mare? violet was an amazing rider and they could probably turn her into a champion.

Violet let herself hug Sammie for 3 seconds, then she pulled away. Wiping away the tear, she listened to Sammie's explanation. Trying to not show the dissapointment on her face, Violet half smiled. "Well, she's a beauty." She said, giving the mare a carrot. She gobbled it down, and Violet laughed. Running her hand over the amre, Violet checked for any signs of illness. Already wanting to major in Equine Medicine, Violet knew quite alot about being a vet. She had even done a summer internship at an equine veterinary practice. Violet scanned the arm, then turned to Sammie. "Her back left tendon is swollen, and her nose is running. She probably injured her leg by it slipping and straining it. She probably has a fever, I can take her temperature. We- sorry, you- can put her on bute tonight and let her rest,t hen talk to Mr. Connor in the morning. Bella's gonna be fine." Violet realized with a shock that she had just named the horse. Her mother's name was bella. Her murdered mother. Violet stared down at the dirt, trying her hardest not to sob. Barely at a whisper, Violet spit it out. "My mother's body was found. My father did it." Sammie knew abut her mother's disappearance. [/color][/b] [/div][/left] WORDS, TAG, outfit, NOTES

taken aback by the sudden naming of the mare, and the 'we' in violet's sentence, she knew that this would work out. nodding, she patted the gorgeous mare's neck. 'okay, i can talk to mr. conner if you want. i'll come back later on and check on bella and you can do it tomorrow morning.' she said, already feeling the name flowing evenly and easily off of her tongue. when violet spoke about her mother, sammie's mouth fell open. tears rolled down her face and she gasped, holding violet tightly and not letting go, she was at a loss for words. she shook her head slowly. 'violet, i... it'll be okay. i promise. bella and i can help you. we'll help you.' she rambled, choking on her own words.

She let herself sob into Sammie, her thoughts a scrambled mess. On top of it, she had to leave for London in 2 days, to see her older brother. Taking a deep breath, Violet kissed the mare's cheek. "Bella. I like it." When she said the mare's name, her ears pricked towards Violet. "Wanna groom her? " Violet slowly led the mare out of the stall, sticking Harley back in it. She would find a stall for her later. Hooking up Bella to the crossties, Violet left Sammie with her and went into the tack room. She opened her trunk and got her grooming case. Walking out, she couldn't help but wonder about Bella's past. Sammie had found her on the cross country course. Someone must of abandoned her in the woods.

sammie nodded, clipping the crossties onto the purple halter she'd fetched for bella, stroking the mare's neck and smiling into her huge dark eyes. when vi brought back the grooming kit, she grabbed a curry and began on the mare's matted, muddy, dry coat. the first layer of grime and dry mud peeled off, falling onto the stable floor, followed by the second and then the third. letting violet do the hooves, she grabbed the body brush and flicked it over every corner of bella's body, making her copper coat shine like a brand new penny. she was gorgeous, not a doubt about it. then, she grabbed the pale blue comb and put it through the mare's thick black mane, until it was smooth, shiny and free of tangles. she let vi do the tail as she wet the facial sponge and started on the muddy patches on the mare's cheeks and blaze.
