I found myself looking straight into the dark eyes of the most magnificent animal I have ever seen. His coat was so white it glowed, mane long and thick and it fell like silk on that high, proud neck. But those eyes… they held intelligence beyond that of a mere animal—almost human.
I offered my hands in a slow greeting… I had to make friends fast.
He flared his nostrils at me, his withers shivered slightly as my fingers brushed his coat.
As I laid the saddle in place, I could tell the Arabian was ready to run with me.
