Katie
and the Wild Herd
"One more jump to
go Katie!" Shouted Mark, Katie's riding instructor as soon as she and
Strider, her horse, jumped the coloured fence. After she jumped it she patted
Strider on his neck and jumped off.
"If you ride like
that on Saturday Katie, you'll be bound to win!" exclaimed Mark, "I'd
reckon you should probably go and untack him now."
"Ok, see you
later!" replied Katie, walking up the hill with Strider towards the
stables. Suddenly she stopped and looked into the distance. 'What's that?' she
thought to herself. As she looked closer she noticed there was a herd of
horses.
"Mark! Come here!
Quickly!" Screamed Katie.
"What is it Katie?
I'm putting the - What the heck is over there!" He yelled.
"It's a herd of
horses! Look!"
"Katie, I doubt it’s-
Oh My God! It is! I will go and tell Neil, you take Strider up to his
stable."
"But-"
"Now!"
"Ok..." Katie
responded, glumly.
When she had finished
untacking Strider, her best friend, Chloe, came up to her.
"Do you know about
the wild herd Katie? I heard Mark and Neil talking about it."
"Well we need to
do something about it! Like catch them or something!"
"You seriously
think us, two 14 year olds, will be able to catch what, 16 wild horses?!"
"Well we would
need a little help but-"
"Look Chloe, lay
off it! We are not going to be able to catch them, even if we try! Leave it to
Neil and Mark, besides, we have more to think about then them, the show, school
and our job! Speaking about school, do you want to come to my house after I've
finished to-do our project? We have 3 weeks left of the summer holidays and we
haven't even started it yet!"
"Sure Katie and I
guess you're right, I was being unrealistic. Do you need any help finishing
off?"
"I think I'm done
thanks, lets go!"
Thanks Guys!
See you soon,
