Nightmare stood in the stall, a white bandage over her wounded shoulder. Rebel Yell was moved into a seperate stall over night, and Nightmare was unable to sleep without his presence. With a sad whiny, she began to eat the rough oats that had been placed in her stall. The oats tasted nothing like the luscious grass they had in the wild. Nightmare stomped her hoof against the ground and nudged the bucket of oats over.
The rich girl's limo pulled into the stable yard once again. This time it was followed by a red ford truck with a large horse trailer attached to the back. The girl stepped out of the car, her blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail. The door of the horse trailer opened and a large horse was lead out. The horse was a Friesen. The horse wore a long red blanket across its back that said 'Goliath'. The girl scampered towards her horse, smiling. She grabbed the rope, leading her horse into the stables, right past Nightmare's stall.
Nightmare glared at the friesen horse, neighing shrilly. The friesen horse didn't even to notice Nightmare, he just kept on walking. That made Nightmare even angrier and she kicked against the stall doors. Bill walked up to the girl and the fresien horse, grinning.
"Howdy, Monica," Bill greeted.
Monica looked up at Bill, faking a smile. "Hello Bill, look at my thoroughbred, champion horse, Goliath."
Bill nodded his head nonchalantly, looking over Goliath. He quickly turned to look at Nightmare, the horse that would make him loads of money. Sean walked out of Darius's stall, stopping to talk to Monica and look at Goliath.
"He's beautiful, Monica," Sean smiled.
Monica returned the smile, her amber eyes twinkiling.
"We should go on a trail ride sometime," Sean offered.
Monica just nodded, still admiring how handsome Sean was, potential boyfriend material. Sean turned and walked away, still smiling. Monica lead Goliath into his own stall and began to put his tack on. After about thirty minutes, Goliath was ready. Monica took him to the ring, mounting easily. With a quick squeeze they were off. Goliath was over the jumps so gracefullly, it was as if he had wings. Riders stared at the pair in awe, Monica made it look so simple.
In the stables, the blonde girl that had become rather fond of Nightmare, opened Nightmare's stall. Nightmare sped out, running straight for the ring.
"Go get 'er girl," The blonde girl shouted with a smile.
Nightmare wasn't going to let this pampered, tame horse show her up. She ran towards one of the highest fences. She came before it, not slowing up. Nightmare pushed off the ground with her back legs, she knew she would make it, she had to make it. She glided through the air, the feeling of freedom coursing through her veins. With a might neigh, Nightmare landed on the other side of the fence. She reared up, holding her head high.
Goliath stopped right before he reached the next jump, turning his head towards Nightmare. Right then and there, Goliath felt something he had never felt before, love. Love for the mare that had just stolen all of his attention......
