Cowboys And Cowgirls
Chapter 1
Th-thump th-th-th-thump thump thump th-thump
A beautiful open field. Long, flowing grass, waving in the breeze. The smell of wild flowers hangs in the air. The bright sun shone down on the wings of bright butterflies.
Th-thump th-th-th-thump thump thump th-thump
Birds flew high in the sky, tweeting and singing. All was peaceful on the little island of trees surrounding this little field. On one side of the field was a decent sized cottage and garden.
Th-thump th-th-th-thump thump thump th-thump
"YEEE-HAAW" a shout shattered the peace
Out of an opening in the trees a large black shape burst out of the forest. The thumping sounds got louder. The black shape was a large, muscular stallion. Astride the stallion's broad shoulders and back was a teenage girl. The stallion had no saddle or reins.
The girl had her legs wrapped as tightly around the horse's big stomach. Her hands we fisted in the stallion's long silky mane. She shifted slightly, bringing the powerful beast to a walk.
They approached the small cottage. The stallion came to a halt and let the girl throw a leg over his back and slide off. The stallion walked off to a small lake next to the cottage and drank. The girl laughed and swept her fingers through her short black hair. She wore a tight blue tank top with a tied, blue plaid shirt over it. The tank top was tucked into blue denim jeans. On her back a black cowboy hat rested with its string against her neck. On her feet she wore brown leather cowgirl boots.
"Hey shadow!" she called. The stallion lifted his head before trotting over. He snorted when he reached her. She giggled as his snort blew her hair around. "Did you see that boat? The one by the beach?" she asked. He nodded his giant head. Should we surprise the boy that was in it? A wicked gleam entered Shadow's eyes and he nodded his head even harder this time. She laughed before she shifted into a white horse the same size as Shadow. He whickered softly and nudged her side. In return she nipped at his forelocks. Together they took off into the forest, heading towards the beach and the unsuspecting young boy. One who wore a bright orange cowboy hat.
