I Have Embraced My Futuer (Freedom)

[hulachowdown]

With the water, it washed away all of the pain of my old life,
Now I have a new life,
A new chance in this world.

She stood still and closed her eyes as the water ran on her body, that felt so good, she could fell it wash away the dirt , mud and pain of her old life. I have a new start, a clean slate she thought I might as well get the most out of it.

_{Katie grinned and grabbed a sponge.Carefully,she ran it over Wind's face,making sure every last piece of dirt was removed.After the water was turned off.Katie retrieved a towel,and rubbed it in circular motions until the mare was dry.After,she ran a dandy brush over her until her coat shined like gloss.}

[hulachowdown]

I feel like a now horse,
After weeks of darkness,
I see the light.

The mare stood there her eyes half closed, it felt so good to be brushed, Maybe this won't be too bad she thought. With all of the mud ,dust and blood off of her she felt honestly young again. Once she gained some weight she would be back to normal.

_{Katie smiled,seeing the mare enjoy every bit of the grooming.She glowed with health.Katie glanced at Pickpocket to see the stallion nicker in approval.Maybe it was time..Maybe.Katie unhooked the mare from the ties and clipped a lead line to the halter and took her to a room.The concret floors were padded with black rubber.Katie left Wind tied to a metal pole.She returned with Pickpocket.The stallion snorted easily,walking beside Katie.Katie led the stallion toward Wind,and Pickpockets steps grew more springy and agitated,no wanting to wait.The cherry bay half reared,Katie held him tightly as she continued o approach Wind.}

[hulachowdown]

So the time has come,
At last,
I've been waiting.

Wind lowered her head slightly and nickered to her soverien.She got what was going down. Who wouldn't? Especialy with someone with as much experience as herself. She couldn't wait to see their foal, It would be a beautiful thing,probualy the most beautiful foal she had ever had.

_{Katie moved away,holding the rope in her left hand,but still a good distance from the pair.Pickpocket nosed Wind's tail out of the way,then jumped to his hind legs before landing gently on her back.The stallion grabbed the mare's mane tnederly in his mouth.Katie let the job go quickley.As soon as it was over and done,Katie walked Pickpocket to his stall.Katie returned to fetch Wind and put her in the stall next to Pickpockets.She had alot to do now that her mares were coming into heat,and others were foaling,and she had several upcoming yearlings to work with.}

[hulachowdown]

I'm allright,
just tierd.

Wind nickered lowly at him as she walked by. Her legs trembled slightly as she walked into the stall. SHe let herself sink into the soft straw bedding. She had a feeling that this birthing would be different then the ones in the wild were no one helped you if you needed help and you died if something happened wrongly or you lost the foal witch was ,ofcourse, a mare's worst nightmare.

<sub>Katie watched the mare sink to the ground.Pickpocket tore hay from his net happily.Katie moved away and up to the house.

(Skipping Ahead to 11 Months-Birthing-)

Katie flipped on the light switch,the barn had an unearthly glow.Wind had been with Katie a little less than a year.</sub>

[hulachowdown]

TOnight, it is happening tonight,
THe mirical of life

She was laying on her side and she felt the baby coming. She sides where covered in sweat and the contractions started. Good, everything is going right she thought. Her head lifted a bit to look down her body. SHe looked at Pickpoket and at Katie as she came into sight.

Katie kneeled beside her.Stroking her gently.Pickpocket nickered softly to encourage her.
