Bucephalus

The big gray stallion stood dozing in the corner of his small corral. When he heard the crack of a whip nearby, he jerked his huge head up and sleepily looked to where the sound was coming from. It reminded him of his drafting contests, and he had scars on his flanks to prove it.

His old masters had gone bankrupt, and had sold all of their stock, even their champion: Bucephalus, more commonly known as "Boosey". So he had ended up here, probably to be sold as dogfood.

Sam

Sam looked at the horse silently keeping his eye on it.Than he looked him in the face waiting for his reaction.Maybe he take two horses home with him.

Bucephalus

Boosey watched intently as the man drove the little Morgan mare around and around the pen. He could see that she was starting to submit to him, and he wondered what would happen next. He noticed the man watching him.

Sam

Sam walked over to the gate silently.He took out a treat and waited for Boosey,it said on the gate, to come take it.He waited for a reaction.Would he have to use join up on this horse he thought.

Bucephalus

Bucephalus pricked his ears forward and sniffed at the treat. He then walked forward and lipped it up. His long whiskers tickled Sam's palm. He sniffed his hand for more treats, but smelled no more. Dissapointed. He bumped Sam's arm and snorted for more. Then growing bored, he turned toward his water tank next to the gate and began to gulp down the dirty water.

Sam

Sam saw how hungry the horse was, and frowned a bit.He made up his mind this horse was comming with him.He walked to the owner of the horses, and payed for the horse.Then he got another rope and halter from his truck."Come on fella.Don't you want to go home,"he said soothingly to the horse.If the horse came he put him in the truck, and drove off.
