Wishing Big
Smile; perk your ears because you're a happy horse! I love this whole paparazzi thingy! The people want to look at me, they bring me HUGE carrots, and you should see the outside of my stall! It's filled with cards and notes! I try to read them, but the longer they are, the harder they get to read.
I get my cast changed and handled almost daily. I also get a bath about once a week too. Now, I actually enjoy taking a bath because it makes me feel good. I never liked it, and now I do! Funny what an injury will do to you now isn't it? There isn't anything that makes me upset. I've met the dean of the vet school, the gov. of Pennsylvania, and my owners come and see me almost everyday.
One night, I was sound asleep in my stall when I heard a commotion coming from outside. Too tired to get up and look, I perked my ears and listened in.
"How is she?" I knew that voice, my vet, Dr. Dean.
"I don't know. She hurt herself pretty badly." Someone else said. Who hurt themselves pretty badly?
"Jumper horse in perfect health. No lameness, no digestive issues, nothing wrong. Yet she just collapses in her stall."
"You think it was the heat?" Dean asked.
"Possibly, but no signs of heatstroke or..." The person began.
"Or what?" Dean asked again.
"She was depressed. Went off her feed a week ago."
What a crazy horse. Who was this depressed horse? I could maybe help them feel better. After all, who wouldn't want to meet a celebrity like me?
"Alright, when she comes, put her in intensive care, next to Barbaro." Dean commanded.
A new stable mate. Okay hen, I'll meet her in the morning.
A/N: Barbaro is gonna like his new stable mate! Read on for Wishing Big PT II! Also, R&R!
