Star

The coffee brown gelding followed Sam out to the yard behind the house. He looked around briefly, noting all of the other sick animals, and then looked around for his companion. He lowered his head to the frosty ground, sniffing it for the scent of Blackout.

Sam

Sam patted the gelding smiling.Then he let go of the stallion to let it go find his friend.Silent he walked over to some mounds of hay andlaid some out for the new arrivals.Then he sat down on the grass to watch.After all he had to get to know the horses if he was to keep them.

Celtic Blackout

Blackout stood in the middle of the enclosure, sniffing and looking at everything warily. She approached the hay slowly, lipping it cautiously. Looks okay... She though, taking a bite.

Sam

Sam smiled watching as Blackout appraoched the hay cautiously.Shes nervous and a bit skittish,but that could be cured in time he thought.Then he looked at the stallion to see what he was doing.

Star

Star whuffled softly as Sam patted his neck. He didn't know why humans did that, but he knew that it meant something good. He turned toward Blackout, and took a big bite out of the hay, crunching it happily.

As he ate, he looked about him. There were lots of other animals other than him and Blackout, all with some kind of injury or ailment.

Turning back to the hay, he continued to eat contentedly, somehow knowing that he was supposed to be here with humans and other animals.

Blackout

"Star, do you know what happened? Or did you just wake up in the prairie, all cut up." Blackout questioned, trying to stimulate the curiosity and necessity to know whata happened to the gelding.

Sam

Sam just sat and watched silently.He liked the horses so far,but he wondered if thewy get along well.

Star

Star lookedup at Blackout, finishing his mouthful of hay before answering. "Well, I remember bright lights, and a scream, an-and a loud n-noise that was deep and low." He said firmly. He smiled and went on saying, " I remember no other things. I woke up after a b-bad dream of girls and horses and a big truck crashing together, and I was hurting." He turned and went on munching the hay.

Blackout

Blackout nodded. "Oh..." Blackout was speechless. Poor gelding, haunted with nightmares and the ability not to remember well. "Do you think that human will take us home?"

Sam

Sam watched as the horses snorted and nickered to each other.Obouisly they were talking.Maybe if he payed close intention he know what they were saying.He had always been interested in horses and how they communicated.A smile on his face he watched the horses.He opened up his mind and cleared all his thoughts.
