Chapter Nine: A ill tempered horse calmed by singing
Then next morning the whole house woke up to the sound of a truck driving up to the ranch and a horn being honked over powering the sound of a horse angrily neighing. They all ran outside, after dressing in a hurry, and saw a trailer shaking from side to side and realize the neighing was coming from inside the trailer. A man in his early 40's stepped out of the truck and Misuzu went toward him and shook his hand and said to him, "Thank you for bringing him out here, it means the world to me." The man said while shaking his head and laughing, "It's no problem. I just hope you can tame him better then the others who had him." Misuzu chuckled and looked at the trailer then at Haruhi and Sarah and said while still looking at them, "Oh, with these two girls here to help I'm sure it will be no problem at all. All wild horses seem to calm around them, especially Sarah when she sings to them." The man shook his head and said in an unbelieving voice, "Not this horse, nothing seems to calm him down." He went to the trailer and asked for some help and Mori and Hunny went and helped him by grabbing the ropes he pointed out for them. He unlatched the door and said before opening it, "Be careful, he will kick and pull and do anything to get loose, but also keep in mind he didn't come from a good owner so he's a lot ill tempered." The man counted to three and opened the door and all hell broke loose, literally.
A black as midnight sky mustang horse was being pulled out of the trailer and toward the large paddock. He kicked and pulled and did everything the man warned us about. Haruhi and Sarah looked closely at him and both at the same time gasped at the state he was in. He was skin and bones and had scraped up knees on both front and rear legs. (Thank you Black Beauty for the idea) After a few minutes they got him into the paddock, but couldn't get close enough to get the rope off his face. He bucked and rammed into the fences trying to knock them over. Sarah didn't know what came over her but the next thing she knows is she's in the paddock and everyone calling her to get out. The horse saw her and started to charge at her but stopped when she started to sing.
You and me together well be,
forever you'll see.
We two can be good company,
you and me,
yes together we two.
Together that's you,
forever with me.
We'll always be good company,
you and me,
yes together well be.
She hummed a little after before she slowly sung again, the horse right in front of her and nuzzling the hand she held up in front of him.
You and me together well be,
forever you'll see.
We'll always be good company you and me,
just wait and see.
When the horse calmed down, Sarah took off the rope and hugged his neck and kissed it then backed away out of the paddock with her hands behind her. Haruhi got the signal and grabbed a carrot and placed it in Sarah's hands and she held it up to the horse and fed it to him while her other hand rubbed his neck. When he was done she turned around and walked out of the paddock. She smiled at the shocked faces and said, "Any horse can calm down with the right tone of voice and a gentle and kind touch." She looked at Kyoya and he was beaming with pride.
