With every hole in the old pavement we ran over, the trailer behind us rose up and down. The crisp shriek of the metal made the ear drums curl. We were on our way, just where I wanted to go. The horse I wanted was becoming more near with every turn we made. Only 250km still to drive.
As a dust trail began to form behind our vehicle, we drove up the dirt driveway with excitement. I was finally here. I actually made it. Wanting that horse more than anything I've ever visioned. It was now just a matter of seconds before I get to meet him. Gelding and high spirited the nicest personality you can find. Young too, only 3 years of age, 3 years of training and 3 years of riding. That would all change when I mount him. Tall and slick, bay. He wouldn't be a cheap horse but I don't care, I want him and I already love him.
Right when I saw him I came up for a name, he now goes by Silver. Silver like the reflection of sun on water. Silver like the bridal and silver like the star on his face. It truly represented him in more ways than just words.
He was meant to be mine because the owner, well previouse owner said, "get him out of here. You people drove all the way up here just take him and forget the money". I would of gladly paid for him. Of course I had all the money ready to go. Babysitting really started to pay off. But now I have all that money to buy Silver new tack. Saddle blanket fly and face sheet. All that jazz and because this horse cost $2300.00 cash i still after all that had money left over for me. It took three years of babysitting, birthday and Christmas money to get this far. When I started saving Silver was just an infant, a colt with his own opinion on life.
"Welcome home, Silver". I whispered as I slowly and steadily brought him out or the trailer. "Have a look around boy." I let him off the halter so he could find some new friends and just become familiar with his new home. Of course our whole yard was fenced and at the top there was electric, nobody would get out then. I always think its cruel but, if you cant beat your parents join them. Well I do have to say, I agree with them. It did keep all our animals safe inside our property.
Watching him outside adapting to the new smells was a joy to experience. He was so strongly stanced all the time. Hardly trained, but that never showed. He is the the friend I never had.
Feeling the hot soapy water on my hands made me fatigue, the soothing smell of fresh cut grass outside was quite rejuvenating. The pleasant breeze that scurried down our pasture was a great chance for the horses to reawaken after being in the scorching sun all day. I decided it was the perfect time to go for a ride.
Saddling up silver brought us closer together. When I was on him, it was like we were one. When I ride Silver the only thing I feel is.... free.
Silence surrounds us and only the light of the sunset gleams on my shoulders. The calming slurps of Silvers mouth was like music to my ears. "I never want to be without you" I whispered one more time. "I'm glad I found you, I'm gald your mine".
